There’s much talk about us being the sandwich generation – stuck in the middle between being financially responsible for our teenagers while facing the changing care needs of our aging parents.

And the pressure this brings can be immense… overwhelming.

Money plays a huge part in it. Not just in terms of the worry whether we have enough of it – but how we actually think about money. How we feel about it. And the actions we take based on this.

And all too often this can result in a classic case of monkey see, money do with our kids. Our children are watching us. But are we embodying money confidence? Are we having those conversations with our kids about money?

If this resonates, join your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest founder of The Money Confidence Academy Lesley Thomas for Episode 031 of Midlife Unlimited® as they talk about How to Help your Teens get Money Confident as a Midlife Mum.

With money mindset becoming a buzzword, Lesley explains to Kate how money mindset is the stepping stone towards the goal of money confidence. And the pair discuss the connection between money and our emotions, and how it’s not too late for us Midlife mums to create the right habits to support our kid’s financial future.

Tune in too for Lesley’s top tips for nurturing our own money confidence so that we can empower the next generation by helping our kids do the same.

This episode is packed with golden nuggets for how we can build both our own and our children’s money confidence, and insights and inspiration for the impact this will have on our kids’ financial independence.

Going grey! How do you feel about it? Are you a proud silver sister? Or reaching for the hair dye at the first sign of an errant white strand?

When it comes to going grey, there are no rules. It’s about doing what feels right to you – not conforming to shoulds.

Whether you’re saying “yay” or “nay” to going grey, it’s yet another change that we’re encountering in Midlife.

So join your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest Helen Johnson host of Happier Grey podcast for Episode 030 of Midlife Unlimited® as they talk about How to Go Grey Your Way as a Midlife Woman.

Since embracing her natural grey, Kate has lost count of times women have called her brave. And Helen feels so strongly about changing the grey hair narrative that she launched her podcast dedicated to women sharing their journeys.

In this episode, Helen and Kate get to the root of the issue by smashing stereotypes and busting myths around the perceived fears surrounding the natural process of going grey – from being judged for letting ourselves go, to fading into a beige background.

From root stress to Lego hair, they share insights and advice from their own journey to learning to love their grey – and the freedom it brings to turn our focus to ageing well. In Helen’s words “It was like shedding the person I never was.”

Do you find yourself thinking “I wish I could do that again…” but then making excuses to yourself why you can’t? All those reasons why that thing is just not doable now… in Midlife.

The result? We hold ourselves back. We play it small. We stop daring to dream. We choose to stay being comfortable to avoid the potential minefield of “What ifs” that accompany reawakening that challenge… rekindling that desire. We don’t let the real us shine through.

If this resonates with how you are feeling, join your host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach® and her guest Creative Director and Branding Portrait Photographer Joanna Wood for Episode 029 of Midlife Unlimited® as they talk about How to Rip of the Mask as a Midlife woman.

An alternative title for their episode could have been How to start playing it big. Because, like Kate, Joanna is an advocate of showing up how we really are – not diluting ourselves by pretending to be someone we’re not.

Joanna shares with Kate her metamorphosis from conforming and being perceived as shy, to boldly unleashing her creativity has enabled her to step out of the shadows both personally and professionally. And she talks through her lessons learned for how to show up as we really are and rip off the mask as Midlife women.

Tune in too to find out how Joanna’s fundraising for the Alzheimer’s Society in memory of her mother shows how we can find a way to keep doing what lights us up and saying “yes” to challenges that help us make a difference.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And Empty Nesting is a prime example.

So join your Host Kate Porter The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach and her guest Brand and Family Photographer Sheena Sabharwal for Episode 024 as they talk about How to Bird Launch through Empty Nesting.

Every woman’s experiences of this pivotal and often painful time are different, so bird launchers Kate and Sheena share insights, inspiration and anecdotes from their own Empty Nest Syndrome journey.

And they talk through the four-step P.L.A.N. Kate has devised to help Empty Nesters everywhere navigate the three stages of grief, relief and joy in her free ebook Your Empty Nest Epiphany – A Beginner’s Guide to Bird Launching. To get your free copy, DM or email Kate.
