Welcome back! Today we have a loaded episode with Kathy Batista as we consider that there are opportunities to create magic all around us and that maybe, just maybe... it isn’t actually a mid-life crisis. Kathy Batista is the go-to coach for midlife women. She believes midlife isn't just based on age but that it's a phase of life, and that it can be your best one yet. By tapping into your values and skills, you can take aligned action to create purpose and joy, leading to that often missing sense of fulfillment.
