Your Magical Midlife
Calling all wildflowers, late bloomers, seekers and dreamers: Your Magical Midlife is for women 40+ who never (quite) fit in.
I'm Kate Higgins, a licensed therapist turned coach. I walk women through the portal of midlife using four archetypes: The Maiden, The Mother, The Empress and The Crone-each phase bringing wounds and wisdom.
This podcast is part confessional, part advice column, and part deep dive interviews with untamed woman living lives of their own creation. If you're tired of midlife content geared towards losing weight and "fixing" yourself, you're in the right place.
When I was struggling through menopause and the reckoning that is aging, the only support available to me was focused on preserving the 35 year old version of me-insisting that I should stay frozen there in that "ideal".
I couldn't find anything geared towards the emotional and spiritual challenges I was facing –let alone anywhere that was CELEBRATING it. So I decided to create it myself from scratch.
Midlife is a Portal, and I'm here to witness and support you as you dance, leap (or even) limp through it. It's okay. I got you.

Your Magical Midlife
E97 From Watched to Witnessed
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From 1970s catcalling being “just how it was,” to the thrill and cost of being seen on burlesque stages and in NYC nightclubs, I spent decades navigating life under the male gaze.
In midlife, something shifts. The watching quietly fades — and with it comes a strange mix of grief, relief, and disorientation.
In this episode, I explore what it means to move from being watched to being truly witnessed: by other women, by ourselves, and in sacred circles. I share how Craft Your Crown has become a powerful witnessing ritual — a place where we’re seen not for how we look, but for who we’re becoming.
If you’ve ever felt invisible, free, or somewhere in between as the gaze changes, this one is for you.
