  <description><![CDATA[<p>Calling all wildflowers, late bloomers, seekers and dreamers:&nbsp; Your Magical Midlife is for women 40+ who never (quite) fit in.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>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.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>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.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>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".&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>Midlife is a Portal, and I'm here to witness and support you as you dance, leap (or even) limp through it.&nbsp; It's okay. I got you.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Check out my website: www.yourmagicalmidlife.com<br>Follow me on Instagram: @yourmagicalmidlife&nbsp;<br>Book your FREE 20 minute coaching curiosity call: https://calendly.com/kate-katehigginslcsw/curiosity-call&nbsp;<br><br></p>]]></description>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this episode I talk about something I’ve been thinking about for years: what happens when we freeze those expressions with Botox.</p><p>Research shows that Botox doesn’t just change how we look — it can actually mute our ability to fully feel certain emotions and can make it harder for children to learn emotional intelligence by watching our faces.</p><p>I’m not here to shame anyone who chooses Botox. I get the pressure. But this is exactly why I’ve decided to keep my free-range face — lines, creases, and all.</p><p>Because my face isn’t broken. It’s a map of a life fully lived. And in a world that’s becoming more filtered and AI-perfect every day, I want my face to stay a real, honest instrument of connection.</p><p>This is part of my Empress energy: choosing to be more fully human instead of trying to look forever young.</p><p>If you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror and felt that tug of “maybe I should fix this,” this episode is for you.</p><p>What do you think? Have you noticed this in yourself or with the kids around you? Send me a voice note — I read every single one.</p><p><br/></p><p>Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmidlife</p><p>If you’re ready to explore which archetype is most active in your life right now, take the free Midlife Archetype Quiz.</p><p>👉<a href='https://q4hbrs3lyg.zite.so'> Take the Midlife Archetype Quiz</a></p><p>Book me to come to you so that YOU can Craft Your Crown: <a href='https://yourmagicalmidlife.com/craft-your-crown'>https://yourmagicalmidlife.com/craft-your-crown</a></p><p>Book your FREE  20 minute coaching discovery call: <a href='https://calendly.com/kate-katehigginslcsw/curiosity-call'>https://calendly.com/kate-katehigginslcsw/curiosity-call </a></p><p><br/><br/></p>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jane Boon is an adventurer at heart and a technologist by training. She is fascinated by how things work and why things happen. Jane studied manufacturing systems engineering at Kettering University before earning a master’s degree in technology and policy at the MIT. She spent years in the corporate trenches before returning to school for a Ph.D. in industrial engineering. More recently, Jane got interested in the phenomenon of “big data,” completing a master’s degree in statistics at Fordham University where she graduated with honors, at the top of her class. </p><p>Curiosity and openness to experience are central to Jane’s wiring. She began flying gliders at 13 and on her 17th birthday, she became the youngest licensed pilot in her native Canada. She’s trekked in Nepal, Bhutan and Venezuela. And under the guise of “research” for EDGE PLAY, she attended fetish events from Vancouver to Paris, as she sought to bolster the knowledge she’d gained years ago, observing and assisting a girlfriend who was a top-tier dominatrix.</p><p>Jane has written for publications like The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek, Time.com, McSweeneys.net, and TravelandLeisure.com.<br/><br/>She is the author of two erotic novels Bold Strokes and Edge Play you can explore both here: <a href='https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B088GQJG7H/allbooks?ingress=0&amp;visitId=b3ccb72a-ee99-436f-a4be-08a1f7735a3e&amp;ref_=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1'>https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B088GQJG7H/allbooks?ingress=0&amp;visitId=b3ccb72a-ee99-436f-a4be-08a1f7735a3e&amp;ref_=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1</a><br/><br/>And follow Jane on Instagram here: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/janeeboon/'>https://www.instagram.com/janeeboon/</a></p><p>Follow me on Instagram @yourmagicalmidlife</p><p>If you’re ready to explore which archetype is most active in your life right now, take the free Midlife Archetype Quiz.</p><p>👉<a href='https://q4hbrs3lyg.zite.so'> Take the Midlife Archetype Quiz</a></p><p>Book me to come to you so that YOU can Craft Your Crown: <a href='https://yourmagicalmidlife.com/craft-your-crown'>https://yourmagicalmidlife.com/craft-your-crown</a></p><p>Book your FREE  20 minute coaching discovery call: <a href='https://calendly.com/kate-katehigginslcsw/curiosity-call'>https://calendly.com/kate-katehigginslcsw/curiosity-call </a></p><p><br/><br/></p>]]></content:encoded>
