Pursue Your Spark: Midlife Fitness & Mindset for Women Feeling Stuck
It's 3 a.m., and you're staring at the ceiling, wondering why everything feels a little off — even when nothing is wrong. You've been telling yourself it's fine, but you keep hesitating on decisions you know matter. Pursue Your Spark is a midlife fitness and mindset podcast for women feeling stuck in the in-between seasons of life, when the routines, expectations, and habits that once worked no longer fit who you are today. Each episode explores the patterns that quietly slow your momentum — including overthinking, staying reasonable, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and "it's fine" habits — and helps you rebuild confidence, consistency, energy, and forward motion without forcing a reinvention. Hosted by midlife fitness expert and author Heike Yates, the show blends embodied strength, practical clarity, and 40 years of coaching experience to help women get unstuck, rebuild self-trust, and move forward with confidence in midlife. If you've outgrown where you are, it may be time to take the next step. 🎙️See a list of other "niche podcasts" that I produce https://heikeyates.com/category/podcast/ 📙 Order My New Book Pursue Your Spark https://heikeyates.com/l/pursueyoursparkbook/ 🤩 Visit My Website! https://heikeyates.com/ 🆓 Grab your free Midlife Reset Guide https://heikeyates.com/l/midlife-reset-guide/ 🤩 Join the Pursue Your Spark Blueprint Course ⭐️ https://heikeyates.com/l/spark-blueprint/ 💥 Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heikeyates/
