    May 15 2025

    Midlife often feels like we’re going it alone. Friendships drifting. Shifting relationships. Reassessing our role as a mother – from mum guilt to empty nesting. This is a time of rediscovering our identity as a woman.

    And this can leave us questioning not just who we are, but our ability to go for it and follow our dreams. Especially when life throughs curveballs and the can’ts creep in. We start making excuses to ourselves. It’s not the right time. What would other’s think? I really shouldn’t…

    So join your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest Mother Motivator Mariner Marketer Felicity Ashley for Episode 028 as they talk about How to turn “I Can’t” into “I Can – and I Will”.

    From overcoming initial Mum guilt to life-changing lessons in resilience and teamwork, Felicity shares how being part of the four-strong The Mothership crew rowing across the Atlantic has not just taught her to say “Yes” but also set an inspiring example of how ordinary women can do extraordinary things.

    Felicity, who heads to Nepal the day this episode airs to run the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon, talks Kate through her mental and physical preparations for this latest adventure.

    Telling her story with humility and candour, Felicity reveals how the power of Mindset over matter has helped her navigate adversity including battling cancer.

    And she shares her top lessons learned for how to thrive amidst challenges, seize opportunities and surpass our goals by celebrating each step.

    Midlife plunges us into an hormonal melting pot – fact. And we can’t change the fact that menopause is coming for us.

    But we can choose how we live through our menopause years – and beyond. How we treat our body and mind. How we value ourselves inside and out.

    And making choices about how we fuel our bodies that result in balancing our hormones can have a huge impact on almost every aspect of our lives.

    Find out more by joining your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest award-winning Menopause Food Expert and Qualified Nutritionist of Natasha is Wide-Eyed Natasha Hodge for Episode 027 as they talk about How to Balance Hormones with Food to Ease your Menopause.

    This myth-busting episode is packed with practical advice and tips for how fuel your body to feel at your best in Midlife. From gut health to real versus ultra-processed food, via fasting and being hangry, you don’t want to miss Natasha’s insights and inspiration.

    Do you ever feel like you just want to hit the pause button? That despite your best laid plans, life seems to have other plans? That you are losing control?

    You crave to stop that endless swirl of thoughts going round and round your head – threatening to overwhelm you and undermine your self-confidence and self-esteem as our Inner Critic goes into overdrive.

    Writing is a powerful self-care tool. Putting our thoughts on paper. Getting them out of our head. Not overthinking it.

    So find out more by joining your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest Best-Selling Author of the Midlife Novels Series and Writing for Wellness Coach Cary J Hansson for Episode 026 as they talk about How to use Writing for Wellness in Midlife.

    This is not another ”author plugs new book” podcast.

    Cary shares raw and refreshingly honest insights of how she has overcome life’s hurdles along her self-publishing journey, resulting her Midlife novels series selling over 150,000 copies and the tales of her characters Helen, Caro and Kay being described as ”Shirley Valentine meets Bridget Jones”.

    With A Midlife Marriage coming soon, mum-of-three Cary reveals how a ”truly shocking” divorce made her lazer-focused on her writing career. And there’s laughter aplenty as Kate and Cary discuss online dating in Midlife and how our 50s are a great time for us to stop caring so much about what others think, and to start questioning what we really want from our relationships.

    Tune in too for Cary’s top tips on Writing for Wellness and how the cathartic process of putting words on paper isn’t just empowering self-care but also flexes our creative muscle.

    Apr 24 2025

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text

    Finding our voice as a Midlife woman can be challenging. We’re so used to playing it safe, holding ourselves back. So how can we unleash the courage to sing our own praises? To step out of the shadows and own our Midlife stage?

    Find out by joining your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest Expert Creative Music Specialist Sophie Garner for Episode 025 as they talk about How to Take a Deep Breath and Go for It.

    Sophie shares how singing became her salvation to overcome teenage trauma and self-harming. Describing music as her balm, Sophie explains how it has got her through huge life challenges and enabled her to celebrate firsts – from making history at the O2 to launching a widow’s choir.

    Kate and Sophie discuss how turning 50 sparks realisation of the sands of time, and delve into discovering ways to make every precious moment count by nurturing our creative playmaker – on our terms.

    And tune in for two rather special exercises that you can join in with too. Spoiler alert, there may be singing involved.

    Midlife Unlimited® is all about having those conversations we just don’t have enough. Because not talking about what is on our mind can leave us feeling isolated, thinking no one is interested in how we are feeling or what we are going through.

    Midlife Unlimited® is all about smashing stereotypes and leaping out of our comfort zone by finding something that lights us up.

    But so many of the women your Host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® helps feel like they are stagnating in the Midlife swamp. They have lost their mojo – their spark has fizzled. They’ve lost sight of who they are.

    And our Midlife is a fabulous time to reawaken the dreams that we had back then but have put on the back burner.

    So join your Host Kate Porter and her guest sustainable business coach and founder of Jackdaw Adela Mei as they talk about How to Turn your Biker Dreams into Reality – at 50.

    Adela shares how something shifted when she turned 50 and she jumpstarted her long-held desire to learn to ride a motorbike.

    Our conversation combines the practical steps Adela took with the realisation that biking has become her mental health salvation – with anecdotes galore on topics from hot flushes to finding her tribe.

    Apr 3 2025

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text

    Midlife is often a time of shifting friendships. But there is one friendship that it’s all too easy to let slide at this pivotal time. It’s a friendship we just don’t focus on enough – and one it’s vital we nurture. The one with ourself.

    So join your Host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her Guest Zeenat Ahmed-Peto, multi-award winning Holistic Cognitive Hypnotherapist and best-selling author of Too Kind – The Survival Guide for Sensitive Souls, as they talk about How to Become your own Best Friend as a Midlife Woman.

    We can spend so much time worrying about what others think of us, trying to win their approval, that we sacrifice our own self-worth and lose sight of who we really are. Right now.

    In this episode, Zeenat explains how her journey of bereavement, burnout and marriage breakdown empowered her to turn what she perceived as her weakness of being too sensitive into her superpower.

    Zeenat and Kate share inspiration on how they learned to love themselves in their gloriously perfect imperfection. And they discuss Zeenat’s insights for how to become your own best friend – from embracing your natural gifts, to dating yourself.

    Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text

    As Midlife women there are a complex range of changes we go through that can leave us losing sight of who we are – questioning our identity. Add into this a Midlife neurodivergent discovery, and this can bring yet another overwhelming layer to knowing and loving who we are at this pivotal time of our life.
