Description

What if midlife isn't a crisis… but an awakening? Led from Within is a podcast for women who feel the quiet (or not-so-quiet) pull that something in their life no longer fits — and are ready to discover what does. Hosted by Mikki Gardner, mother, bestselling author, certified life coach, somatic practitioner, spiritual healer and midlife woman, this show explores what it really means to reconnect with yourself in midlife. Through conversations on identity, relationships, nervous system regulation, and self-trust, Mikki guides women back to their own inner authority. If you've spent years showing up for everyone else — being the dependable one, the strong one, the one who holds it all together — this space is for you. Because midlife isn't about starting over. It's about coming home to yourself. Each episode will help you: * Rebuild trust with yourself and your intuition * Navigate identity shifts in midlife * Understand the emotional and physiological changes happening in your body * Create a life that actually feels aligned If you're ready to stop performing a life and start choosing one, follow Led from Within and begin living from your truth.
