  #331: How to Use Your Energy as a Guide to Alignment in Midlife Transitions

  Aug 19, 20269 min

  Have you spent so many years pushing through, being grateful, and not making a fuss that you have lost track of which parts of your day are actually fueling you and which are wearing you down? For most women in a midlife career and life transition, the mind can talk you into or out of almost anything. But your energy tells the truth. The parts of your life that are aligned with who you truly are will lift you up, and the parts that are misaligned will leave you heavier than the task alone should ever make you feel. In this Thursday check-in, Kavita builds on Monday's Episode 330 conversation about alignment and gives you one simple, honest exercise you can run this week to finally see, on paper, where your alignment lives and where it is missing. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your energy, not your thoughts, is the most honest guide to where your life is aligned and where it is misaligned in a midlife life transition How the green and red activity exercise works, and how to run it over a few days without changing a single thing yet What often surprises women who do this practice, including the real culprits behind daily depletion that have nothing to do with the work they thought was draining them Press play to learn a simple practice that turns what you have been vaguely feeling into a clear picture of what is fueling you and what needs to change in your midlife career and life transition. If this landed for you, take the free Ikigai Clarity Assessment to see which of the four dimensions of your reason for being is thriving right now and which one is quietly asking for your attention. It turns what you feel into a clear place to begin. _________________________ Take the Ikigai Clarity Assessment and find out which of your four Ikigai dimensions may be out of alignment.

This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery. We cover navigating change, overcoming self-doubt and limiting beliefs, finding your purpose-driven career, and building the courage to start your next chapter - whether you're facing a career transition, life transition, or midlife reinvention. itsmytimenowcoaching.com | LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube

  #330: The Real Reason Some People Seem to Have It All in a Midlife Transition.

  Aug 16, 202616 min

  Have you ever looked at someone who seems to have it all and wondered why life feels so much easier for them than it does for you? It is easy to assume they were born lucky, born special, or given something the rest of us were not. What is actually happening is far more available to you than it looks. In this episode, Kavita shares why alignment with who you are and what you truly want is the one thing that steadies you, moves your energy up the spectrum, and begins to attract the people, circumstances, and next chapter you have been quietly waiting for. She also brings in the anabolic and catabolic energy framework, and the two questions human beings have been asking for generations, to help you find your own starting place. In this episode, you'll discover: What alignment actually is, why it is not luck, and how it becomes the force that begins to draw the right people and circumstances toward you during a career and life transition How the energy spectrum from catabolic to anabolic quietly shapes your days, and the kinder question to ask yourself instead of comparing yourself to women who seem to have it all The two ancient questions, “who am I” and “what do I really want”, and simple ways to begin answering them through stillness, small aha moments, and your ikigai Press play to find your own starting place, take one small step toward alignment this week, and open the door to the next chapter that is truly yours. If this episode is speaking to you, take the brand new Ikigai Clarity Assessment to see where your alignment is already strong and where it may be asking for your attention, then book a Complimentary Clarity Call with Kavita to make sense of your results together and name your very next step. _________________________ Take the Ikigai Clarity Assessment and find out which of your four Ikigai dimensions may be out of alignment.

  #329: The One Question That Turns a Hard Feeling Into Clarity in a Midlife Transition

  Aug 12, 20268 min

  Have you been naming the loudest feeling of your day and moving on, without ever stopping to ask what is really going on underneath it? For most women navigating a midlife career and life transition, the anger, the stress, the flatness you cannot quite explain are not the whole story. They are the tip of the iceberg. The truer feeling, the one that is actually asking to be heard, is sitting quietly underneath, and it often has something important to say about a part of your life that is waiting for change. In this Thursday check-in, Kavita builds on her Monday conversation with Dr. Lorea Martinez in Episode 328 and hands you a simple, honest exercise you can use this week to get to the bottom of your own iceberg. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the first feeling you name is almost never the real one, and what your surface emotions are quietly protecting A five minute paper and pen exercise built around one question you can ask yourself over and over until you land on what is truly there What often waits for you at the bottom of the iceberg, and why it is so often a value, a passion, or a whole dimension of yourself that has quietly gone unheard Press play to learn how to read beneath the surface of your emotions and let them show you where your life is asking for change. If a feeling you touched this week is pointing to a part of you that has been waiting to be heard, take the free Ikigai Clarity Assessment to see which of your four dimensions is thriving right now and which one has been asking for your attention. It turns what you feel into a clear place to begin. _________________________ Schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita Take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz - find out what's holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.

  #328: What Your Emotions Are Trying to Tell You in a Midlife Career and Life Transition, with Dr. Lorea Martinez

  Aug 9, 202641 min

  Have you been doing work you once loved, in a life you actually chose, and still find yourself waking up depleted and quietly unsure of who you are anymore? That feeling is not a character flaw, and it is not proof that you built the wrong life. It is a signal, and like most of the feelings we move through in midlife, it is almost always sitting on top of something quieter and truer that we have not yet let ourselves name. In this conversation, Kavita and Dr. Lorea Martinez explore what our emotions are really trying to tell us, and how learning to listen to them, rather than push past them, can change everything at this stage of life. Dr. Martinez is the founder of Heart in Mind and the author of Living With the Heart in Mind. She spent twenty years in education, burned out inside the very work that was her purpose, and came out the other side with a completely different relationship to what her feelings were trying to tell her. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your emotions are not weakness to push past but data to read, and the simple iceberg exercise that begins to reveal the quieter feelings sitting underneath the ones you are allowed to name Why you can be living your purpose and still feel burnt out, and why that is not a failure but a signal that your reason for being is asking to evolve with the woman you have become Why the thing that comes next for you does not have to be a grand finished plan, and how one small curious step, taken with no pressure, can quietly bring you back to yourself Press play to hear an honest conversation about listening to yourself again, and let it be the permission you may have been waiting for to stop pushing through and start paying attention. If this episode is meeting you where you are, take the free Ikigai Clarity Assessment to see honestly which of your four dimensions is alive right now and which one has quietly gone silent, then book a Complimentary Clarity Call with Kavita to look at your results together and name your very next small step toward your reason for being. About the Guest Dr. Lorea Martinez is the founder of Heart in Mind and one of the leading voices in emotional intelligence. She spent more than twenty years in education as a teacher, administrator, and board member, and is the author of an award-winning book for educators as well as her newest release, Living With the Heart in Mind: A Practical Guide to Healing From Burnout and Cultivating Purpose . Her work helps individuals treat their emotions as information worth listening to, and offers practical tools to heal from burnout, rediscover creativity, and cultivate purpose in every season of life.

  #327: How to Stop Living for Everyone Else's Approval in Midlife Transitions

  Aug 5, 20268 min

  Have you spent most of your life proving yourself to everyone else, and are only now beginning to wonder what it would feel like to do it for you? For decades, so much of what you chased was pointed outward, at parents, employers, families, and a whole world that seemed to be keeping score. That proving built a real life and real skills, and none of it was wasted. But in midlife, something quiet begins to shift. The ambition does not have to end. The audience does. This Thursday check-in, a companion to Monday's episode 326, slows down on the one line that stopped many of you in your tracks and shows you what actually changes when the scorecard finally moves into your own hands. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the inner critic that tells you that you are behind or not good enough in a midlife career transition was almost never your voice to begin with, and whose it actually was The freeing difference between proving something to others and proving something to yourself, and why the same goal can feel completely different depending on who is holding the scorecard The one honest question to sit with this week that will show you whether your current pursuit is still for them or finally for you Press play to feel the quiet freedom that comes when your ambition, your goals, and your next chapter finally get to belong to you. If you would like to see where your own strengths, passions, values, and contribution are pointing to now at this exact stage of your life, take the free Ikigai Clarity Assessment . In just a few minutes, it will show you honestly which parts of you are thriving right now and which ones are quietly waiting for you, so you can begin answering the question of what you want to build next for you.
