Description

The Midlife Purpose Project is a podcast for spiritually seeking midlife women who are ready to come home to themselves. If you are navigating midlife anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, disconnection, perimenopause, menopause, body changes after 40, and the deeper questions of purpose, identity, and what comes next - welcome to the community. I’m Katie Farinas — yoga teacher, former nurse, and midlife clarity and purpose coach helping women reconnect with themselves and move through midlife with more peace, self-trust, and purpose. Each week, we explore how to move through midlife with more intention and less overwhelm by blending yoga philosophy, meditation, breathwork, nervous system regulation, emotional regulation, and modern therapeutic tools. Through honest solo reflections, inspiring interviews, and practical conversations, we talk about midlife purpose, emotional healing, self-compassion, people pleasing, relationships, motherhood, intuition, inner peace, self-discovery, and coming home to yourself. You’ll also hear expert conversations on perimenopause and menopause, hormone therapy, healthy aging, longevity, movement, nutrition, career transitions, financial stress, body image, and how to care for your changing body and mind with more awareness and compassion. You’ll also hear expert conversations on perimenopause and menopause, hormone therapy, healthy aging, longevity, movement, nutrition, career transitions, financial stress, and how to care for your changing body and mind. If you’ve been asking: Why do I feel so disconnected from myself, and how do I reconnect with who I really am? How do I manage strong emotions in midlife? How do I regulate my nervous system and feel more grounded? How do I learn to listen to my intuition and trust myself? I’m not religious, but I long for a deeper spiritual connection — how do I find that? How do I stop judging, comparing, and criticizing myself and others? How do I let go of fear and move forward with more alignment? What is happening in my body after 40? How do I connect with this new body and honor what it needs? How can I shift my mindset to embrace this season of life? How do I navigate perimenopause and menopause with more clarity? Can I reinvent myself at 40, 50, and beyond? How do I stop people pleasing and start honoring my own needs? How do I get unstuck? What spiritual practices actually help in midlife? I’ve been through hard things — how do I make sense of them, heal, and move forward? How do I find more meaning, alignment, and purpose in midlife? This podcast is for you. The Midlife Purpose Project is your sanctuary for healing, clarity, connection, and reconnecting with yourself — so you can live with more peace, purpose, alignment, and joy. This podcast is for you. The Midlife Purpose Project is your sanctuary for clarity, healing, connection, and coming home to yourself — so you can live with more purpose, peace, and joy.
