The Alchemy of Midlife: Sharon Kenney Rudy on Transformation, Community, and Practical Magic

We talk about “midlife crises” like they’re collapses. But what if they’re actually invitations?

In this episode of Roar, Sharon Kenney Rudy—Vedic astrologer, meditation teacher, and transformational coach—joins Danielle to talk about the moment so many women reach and quietly wonder: “Is this all there is?”

Through her work in women’s studies, social advocacy, and programs like Return to Radiance and Reclaim Your Magic, Sharon has spent decades helping women reconnect to their power through what she calls the alchemy of midlife.

She believes transformation isn’t about reinvention—it’s about remembrance. By blending ancient wisdom, archetypal psychology, and real-world habits, Sharon helps women move from burnout to aliveness, from overwhelm to ease.

Together, Danielle and Sharon talk about:

💥 The “WTF moment” of midlife and why it’s often the start of awakening.

💬 How community becomes the missing piece in transformation.

⚡ Simple Ayurvedic practices that ground the body and calm the mind.

💪 What it means to bring practical magic into everyday life.

❤️ Why the second half of life is rich with potency, possibility, and joy.

Sharon’s story reminds us that the path forward isn’t about doing more—it’s about becoming more of who we already are.
