Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text
As the host of Midlife Unlimited®, Kate Porter has found her voice in Midlife. After years of people pleasing… worrying about what others were thinking… diluting herself.
Unleashing this confidence and freedom to stop hiding, to stop closing yourself off, to take back your power and discover what lights you up is truly liberating.
And Kate, The Midlife Metamorphosis Coach®, is not alone in ditching the guilt and celebrating knowing ourselves better than anyone else. She is not alone in wanting more!

Episode #045 How to Come Out the Other Side Stronger with Guest Nikki Talbot
Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text
Midlife is a time of change which can leave us feeling vulnerable. Like we’re losing control. Losing our power. Sh*t just keeps happening…
This vulnerability can also unleash feelings that we thought we had dealt with… but now realise we have merely packed them away. We’ve tried to block them. Tried to forget. But deep down that vulnerability is making us feel raw.
If you’ve had enough of putting on a brave face, join your host Kate Porter The Midlife...

Do you pride yourself on being a busy bee? Or do you often feel like you are busy doing nothing?

Labels. Host Kate Porter and her guests talk about them a lot on Midlife Unlimited®… and not fabulous designer ones. Kate means the labels that are thrust upon us. And, especially in Midlife, these labels can be as uncomfortable as an ill-fitting pair of jeans. They just don’t feel right. They don’t align with who we really are.
Midlife is our time to stop conforming, and say “Hell no!” to trying to fit it. It’s time for us to break the mould.

The mother-in-law. Chances are we have one, are one… or will one day be one.
But why oh why does this role get such a bad rap?
The hard-faced dragon… the monster-in-law. And the butt of many jokes.
It’s yet another time for us to reassess our ever-evolving role as a Midlife mum!
So just how can we go about navigating the emotional minefield of sharing our child with their new partner that becoming a mother-in-law entails?

Episode #034 How to Stop Trying to Fit in as a Midlife Woman with Guest Vicki Holtom
Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text
Midlife really is a time for rediscovering ourselves. We’ve had enough of not feeling enough… enough of trying to please others. Of constantly pretending to be someone we’re not – just because we feel we should behave in a certain way.
We’re sick of conforming to stereotypes. Because quite frankly it’s blinking tiring worrying about how others are judging us. And as a result, hiding our quirks. Masking the true us. Diluting our brilliance… rather than letting the real woman we deserve to be shine thr...

Taking back our power is one of the most freeing aspects of Midlife. But all too often it doesn’t come easily. We are so used to giving away our power… feeling drained and frustrated as a result.
So how do we go about nurturing ourselves inside and out at this pivotal time in life? Finding our strength and cherishing it? Both on a physical level – because this really is the time to use it or lose it.
But also our inner strength, especia...
Episode #032 How to Make Make-up work for You as a Midlife Woman with Guest Ali Oswald
Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text
Midlife Unlimited® is all about ripping off that mask and not putting on a brave face. But wearing make-up can seem the antithesis to that.
And while we’re looking in the mirror and barely recognising the face staring back at us, the beauty industry and media bombard us with anti-aging propaganda and products promising to turn back the clock and give us that youthful glow.
At the same time we’re dubbed bold to wear red lipstick – and brave to go bare-faced.

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.

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?

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.

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 re...

Change can seem the only constant in Midlife, causing us to feel we’re losing our power. That life is just happening and we have no control over our destination.
As a result, we can lose sight of the woman we really are at the heart of all this change.
