Midlife Purpose Project: Bringing women clarity and peace with yoga philosophy, mindfulness and spirituality.
The Midlife Purpose Project guides spiritually seeking women in midlife to trade anxiety for peace, confusion for clarity, and disconnection for purpose — blending the wisdom of yoga philosophy with modern therapeutic practices to create a life of meaning, alignment, and authentic joy. I'm Katie Farinas, a yogi, dharma (soul purpose) coach and midlife guide, here to help you navigate the messy, beautiful, soul stretching terrain of midlife with compassion, wisdom and purpose. Each week, we explore midlife as a sacred opportunity for spiritual growth, healing and transformation. Through honest conversations, solo reflections, and inspiring interviews, we'll dive into topics like life purpose, emotional healing, mindfulness, intuition, the mind-body connection, finding inner peace, motherhood and soul-led living. You will also hear from experts on topics like body changes after 40, perimenopause and menopause, longevity, transitions in careers, relationships and roles, financial concerns in midlife and so much more. You'll learn how to feel deeply connected to yourself, and your soul's purpose, others, the world and something bigger. This podcast is your sanctuary for clarity, connection, and coming home to yourself - so you can live with more intention, fulfillment, purpose and joy. If you're wondering: -How do I find my purpose (or as we call it in yoga, Dharma) in midlife? -Why do I feel unfulfilled even though I have a good life? -What's next for me now that my kids are older? -How can I reconnect with my higher self? -Can I really reinvent myself at 40, 50 and beyond? -What is happening in my body? - How can I be healthy in midlife and beyond? -Why do I suddenly feel like my relationships are unsatisfying? -How do I stop people pleasing and start honoring my own needs? -What spiritual practices actually help in midlife? - How do I eat and exercise for this new midlife body? -How do I know if I'm having a midlife awakening or just a crisis? - Why do I feel overwhelmed and anxious all the time? - Is hormone replacement right for me? -How do I start over when I don't even know what I want? - What is my role as a parent in this stage? - Why don't I feel a sense of awe anymore? - Will I have enough money to retire? - What will my legacy be? This podcast is for you. Let The Midlife Purpose Project be your guide home to you.
