The Midlife Reinvention: How to Find Your Ikigai, Deal with Imposter Syndrome & Build Your Confidence in Career & Life Transitions

What if the quiet dissatisfaction you’ve been feeling isn’t a problem to fix - but a signal pointing you toward your next Ikigai?

Many accomplished women reach a point where life looks “successful” on paper, yet something inside feels off. In this powerful re-release, Kavita Ahuja revisits one of the most downloaded conversations on the podcast with Francesc Miralles, co-author of Ikigai: Japan’s Secret to a Long and Happy Life.
Together, they explore why fulfillment often shifts in midlife, how purpose evolves over time, and why feeling restless or bored may actually mean you’re right on schedule - not behind.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
How to recognize the subtle signals that one chapter of your life or career is ending - and why that’s a good thing

A realistic, grounded way to transition toward meaningful work without risking your financial stability

Why Ikigai isn’t a single lifelong destination, but a series of evolving purposes that change as you do

Press play to gain clarity, reassurance, and a fresh perspective on what may be calling you forward in this next chapter of your life.

Have you ever thought, “Nothing’s wrong, but something just feels... off”?
You’re doing all the right things - showing up, performing, checking off responsibilities - yet something still feels off. If you're navigating midlife and wondering why progress feels heavy or hollow, this episode delivers a gentle but powerful wake-up call. It’s not about burnout. It’s about misalignment.
Many high-achieving women in midlife reach a quiet crossroads. The life they've built no longer reflects who they’ve become, leaving them underutilized, restless, or stuck in a loop of productivity without purpose. This episode explores how that subtle misalignment drains your energy - and how clarity is the first step to shifting it.

In This Episode You'll Discover:
The subtle signs of misalignment and why they matter more than you think.
A two-minute clarity shift that reveals why you feel unfulfilled (and how to feel lighter, fast)
How the Japanese concept of Ikigai can help you realign your life with who you are now

Are You Feeling Stuck in your Career or Life - or Is It Something Deeper?

 Do you ever feel like you're going through the motions - successful on the outside, but silently unfulfilled inside?
If you're feeling stuck, drained, uninspired, or like your life no longer fits who you've become, you're not alone. This episode dives into why the quiet ache of unfulfillment isn’t a failure - it’s a signal that you’ve outgrown your current path.

In this episode you’ll discover:
The hidden reason behind the “stuck” feeling and why it often has nothing to do with laziness or lack of motivation.

How misalignment with your Ikigai (reason for being) is quietly draining your energy.

Why clarity - not action - is the true first step toward meaningful change.

 Tap play to uncover what's truly behind your stuckness - and how to begin moving toward a life that finally fits who you are now.
