Welcome to The Midlife Purpose Project - a podcast for spiritual women over 40 who feel stuck, unfulfilled or disconnected from their true selves. If you're craving more meaning, peace, and joy in this next chapter of life, you're in the right place. 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.
