Welcome To Midlife: The Search For Meaning In The Middle

Authenticity. Energetic resets. Letting go of who you used to be.

In this refreshingly real convo, host Lisa Steadman sit down with Energetic Reset Specialist Stephanie Kathan to unpack the midlife magic that happens when you stop performing and start being.

They talk grief (the kind that knocks the wind out of you), rediscovering your true self, why community hits different in this season, and how releasing old identities creates space for brand-new beginnings.

If you’re craving clarity, connection, or a clean energetic slate… this one’s a must.

Dating in midlife is a whole vibe—and not always the fun kind.

In this episode. Welcome To Midlife host Lisa Steadman is joined by Evan Marc Katz, the OG dating coach, online-dating pioneer, and straight-talking voice women have trusted for two decades.

Evan and Lisa explore why accomplished, self-possessed women are often mislabeled as “intimidating,” how that impacts dating dynamics, and what it really takes to find love without shrinking, settling, or shape-shifting.

If you’ve ever wondered whether love gets easier, harder, or just messier in midlife… Evan’s insights will have you nodding, laughing, and rethinking everything.
