The Midlife Purpose Project is a podcast for midlife women navigating anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, perimenopause, menopause, body changes after 40, and the deeper questions of purpose, identity, and what comes next.

I’m Katie Farinas — yoga teacher, podcaster, former nurse, and dharma coach. In yoga, dharma means your deeper purpose: the unique path, gifts, and way of serving that are yours to live. I’m here to help you move through the messy, beautiful, soul-stretching terrain of midlife with more peace, clarity, and self-trust.

Each week, we explore how to move through midlife with more intention and less overwhelm by blending yoga philosophy, meditation, breathwork, nervous system support, and modern therapeutic tools. Through honest solo reflections, inspiring interviews, and practical conversations, we talk about purpose in midlife, emotional healing, midlife anxiety, people pleasing, relationships, motherhood, intuition, inner peace, and coming home to yourself.

You’ll also hear expert conversations on perimenopause and menopause, hormone therapy, healthy aging, longevity, movement, nutrition, career transitions, financial stress, and how to care for your changing body and mind.
