  • #269: Finding Your Hidden Purpose in Midlife Career and Life Transitions, with Sairan Aqrawi
    Jan 12 2026

    Have you ever felt like something’s missing - despite checking all the boxes of “success”? What if the key to fulfillment was a hidden gem inside you that’s been there all along?

    So many high-achieving women hit midlife with restlessness, self-doubt, and a quiet knowing: “There must be more.” In this powerful conversation, host Kavita Ahuja and guest Sarah Aqrawi unpack how women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond can rediscover purpose, courage, and direction - by unearthing the gifts they've been brushing aside for years.


    In this episode you’ll discover:

    • How to identify the hidden talents you’ve been minimizing - and how to start using them.
    • Why midlife is the perfect time for reinvention (not a deadline).
    • Real stories of transformation that will inspire you to claim your voice and take one bold next step.

    Press play now to hear how your past experiences and buried strengths can guide you to a more fulfilling, purpose-driven future - starting today.

  • #268: Why Shifting Your Energy Is the Key to Finding Your Ikigai in Career & Life Transitions
    Jan 8 2026

    Have you ever felt like nothing is wrong in your life - but something just feels off?

    In this short but powerful episode, Kavita Ahuja explores a common but rarely addressed challenge women face during career & life transitions: the hidden energy drain that clouds clarity and purpose. If you're constantly trying to "figure it out" and feel like you're pushing without progress, this episode will help you understand why - and how to shift things.


    In this episode you will discover:

    • The difference between catabolic and anabolic energy - and why it matters more than your to-do list.

    • A simple, daily reflection to spot what’s draining or fueling you.

    • Insights on how energy shifts - not effort - lead to discovering your Ikigai and next chapter.

    Listen now to learn how shifting your energy can help you gain clarity, uncover hidden possibilities, and begin your midlife reinvention with confidence and ease.
