So many women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are living through the same reality — sleepless nights, shifting moods, bodies that don’t feel familiar anymore — and yet we rarely talk about it. Midlife has become one of the most silenced chapters of a woman’s life.

In this episode of Radically You, Kate Garland explores why that silence exists, how it isolates us, and what it costs when we keep pretending everything is fine. From cultural conditioning that teaches us not to “complain,” to the shame woven into women’s bodies from menarche onward, Kate shares both personal stories and neuroscience on why hiding doesn’t heal — and why speaking our truth sets us free.

You’ll learn:

• Why so many women fall into the “complainer” or “silent soldier” trap in midlife.
• The hidden cost of silence — on our nervous systems, our relationships, and our sense of self.
• How shame around women’s bodies is passed down from generation to generation.
• The liberating power of sacred witnessing: being seen and heard without judgment.

Because ending the silence isn’t just relief — it’s liberation.

What if your intuition wasn’t something mystical “out there”… but a built-in guidance system you’ve had all along?

In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on how intuition actually speaks to you. Not in vague signs or fluffy platitudes, but through clear, recognizable channels that have been with you since childhood. Somewhere along the way, most of us were taught to shut them down—and with that, we lost access to a huge part of our power.

This is your invitation to remember. To reconnect with the ways your intuition has always been speaking, whether through flashes of insight, gut-level knowing, or that sense of “I just knew.”

We’ll talk about:

• Why intuition is less about magic tricks and more about remembering.
• How to tell the difference between your thinking mind and your intuitive voice.
• The most common (and messiest) way intuition shows up—and why it needs boundaries.
• How to start recognizing your own unique “intuition pie chart.”

By the end, you’ll see that intuition isn’t rare or reserved for “gifted” people. It’s your birthright. And the more you trust it, the more alive, clear, and grounded you feel.

Are you in midlife, perimenopause, or menopause and wondering why you feel stuck, numb, or unsure what you really want?

You’re not alone — and it’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or “too old to change.”

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many smart, sensitive women in midlife feel disconnected from their desires — and why clarity, confidence, and aliveness are so hard to access when you’re stressed, overextended, or running on empty.

We’ll talk about:

• The hidden hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause that change how women relate to desire, goals, and self-trust
• How a lifetime of people-pleasing and self-abandonment starts (often between ages 11–13) and why it intensifies until midlife
• Why feeling “stuck” or “indecisive” is often a nervous system survival strategy — not a personal flaw
• How your body protects you from disappointment by shutting down desire (and how to gently reopen it)
• Why chasing achievement won’t fulfill you if you skip the deeper work of aliveness
• The role dopamine plays in wanting vs. having — and how to use it to feel more alive right now

If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot, stop waiting for the next big achievement to make you happy, and start reconnecting to a life that feels rich, vibrant, and aligned, this conversation is your roadmap.

🔥 Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a kiln.

The heat rises. The pressure builds. And everything that’s no longer true begins to burn away.

In Part Three of The Second Firing, Kate Garland, Somatic Coach & Stress Recovery Specialist, guides you through the second half of the vessel’s formation—the fiery transformation of midlife.

This is the moment your old form can no longer hold you.

It’s not failure. It’s firing.

• Why your 30s feel like a slow burn—even if life looks “fine” on the outside
• The emotional chaos and soul clarity of perimenopause
• What menopause really is: not a decline, but a second fire
• Why the post-menopausal years are not a fade-out, but a luminous return
• How to honor the sacred rupture—so it can become refinement

• Bisque Firing (33–44): The long, clarifying pressure of adult life
• Glaze Application (Perimenopause): Colors return. The soul speaks. Identity softens.
• Glaze Firing / Second Fire (Menopause): Intense heat. Identity alchemy. Sacred rupture.
• The Finished Vessel (Post-Menopause): Not the end. A radiant re-emergence.

• You feel like you’re holding it all together—but something inside is shifting
• You’re grieving, evolving, or speaking truths you used to swallow
• You need language, metaphor, and soul-medicine for the fire you’re in
• You want a reframe of midlife that is sacred, embodied, and honest

This episode is fierce and tender. Poetic and precise.

It’s for every woman who has felt the slow crack of change—and wondered what was on the other side.

This is the heart of the series. The most anticipated episode.

Part story. Part spiritual survival guide.

🌀 What if your entire life has been preparing you for this fire?

Before we can talk about midlife transformation, we have to honor the form that came before it.

In Part Two of The Second Firing series, Kate Garland, Somatic Coach & Stress Recovery Specialist, traces the archetypal arc of a woman’s early life—from birth to Saturn Return—through the ancient metaphor of pottery.

This is not a linear checklist of life stages. It’s a soulful, embodied map that reveals how each chapter—no matter how messy—has been shaping you.

• How your nervous system and self-concept are formed in early childhood
• Why adolescence still echoes in your body and emotions
• The performance of adulthood in your 20s—and what’s underneath it
• What Saturn Return really asks of us (and why it matters)
• Why feeling “brittle” in your 30s doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means you’re bone dry (and that’s important)

• Wedging → Childhood (0–9)
• Forming the Clay → Adolescence (9–18)
• Leather Hard → Young Womanhood (18–27)
• Bone Dry → Saturn Return (28–32)

💫 This episode is a reframe, a remembrance, and a reckoning.

• You’re in midlife and asking, “How did I get here?”
• You’re navigating a big transition—like a breakup, burnout, or identity shift
• You’ve outgrown who you were, but aren’t sure who you’re becoming
• You love the intersection of myth, biology, psychology, and soul

We move into the fire itself:

From the slow, clarifying heat of your late 30s…

To the colorful chaos of perimenopause…

To the all-consuming transformation of the second fire.

The pressure rises. The cracks show.

But so does the shine.

Not all stress is bad—but most of us are drowning in the wrong kind.

In this powerful episode, Kate breaks down the difference between good stress (eustress), chronic stress, and anxiety, and why they’re not all created equal. You’ll learn how eustress actually expands your capacity, what happens when the stress cycle doesn’t complete, and how anxiety becomes a full-body SOS—not a mental failing.

If you’ve been living in a constant state of urgency, feeling like you can’t calm down even when nothing’s “wrong,” this episode is your permission slip to do it differently.
