  • #291: 3 Ways Your Ikigai Shifts in a Midlife Career Transition
    Apr 2 2026

    What if your Ikigai - your reason for being - is not something you find once and hold onto forever, but something that evolves as you do?

    You may still be good at what you do. You may still get recognition for it. But the deeper sense of meaning is not there the way it once was - and that can be incredibly confusing when everything still looks fine from the outside. If you have been wondering why something that once made so much sense no longer feels like enough, this episode is for you.

    Building on the conversation about redefining success in Episode #290, this mini episode explores three specific ways your Ikigai may be shifting right now and what each one is telling you about your next chapter.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why work that still looks good from the outside can stop feeling meaningful from the inside - and why that is not a sign you are lost but a sign you are evolving
    • How your strengths may need a different expression in this season of life, and a simple two-list exercise to separate what you are capable of from what is actually aligned
    • Why your energy is one of the most practical and honest guides you have during a transition, and a two-minute daily practice to start revealing where your life fits and where it does not

    Press play to understand what your shifting Ikigai may be telling you, and how to move through this season of life with more clarity, honesty, and purpose.

    If you are sensing that the old version of success no longer fits, take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz to see where you are already fulfilled, where alignment may be missing, and what this season of life may be asking of you. And if you are ready to talk about what is next, schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita

  • #290: How to Redefine Success During Midlife Transitions Using Ikigai
    Mar 30 2026

    What if the version of success that no longer feels like enough is actually pointing you toward the one that truly fits?

    Many accomplished women reach a point in midlife career or life transition where the titles, the recognition, and the milestones they worked so hard for stop feeling like enough. This is not a sign that something is wrong. It is a sign that something important is ready to shift. When the old scoreboard stops working, it creates an opening - a chance to define success on your own terms, from the inside out.

    This episode explores how Ikigai, your reason for being, can help you move away from success that is built around what looks good from the outside, and toward a life that is grounded in your strengths, your values, and what genuinely feels meaningful to you now.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why the moment achievement stops feeling like enough is one of the most important turning points in midlife career or life transition - and what it is really inviting you toward
    • How Ikigai helps you reorient around what uses your strengths honestly, what feels energizing, and what kind of contribution matters to you at this stage of your life
    • How to recognize the difference between comparison that drains you and comparison that points you toward what you genuinely want in your next chapter

    Press play to explore a deeper, more personal way of defining success - one that fits who you are becoming and brings your energy and your life into genuine alignment.

    If you are ready to get honest about where you are now and what your next chapter could look like, take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz or schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita to begin moving forward with clarity and intention.

  • #289: How to Find Clarity in the In-Between Phase of a Career Transition
    Mar 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if the uncertainty you're feeling in your career transition is not a sign that you're lost, but a sign that you're paying attention?

    The in-between phase of a career or life transition is one of the most disorienting places to be. Your old identity no longer fits the way it used to, and your next chapter is not fully clear yet. But there is real meaning in this phase - and when you understand what it is telling you, it becomes far less frightening and far more useful.

    This mini episode gives you three signs that you may be in this important phase, along with a small, practical step you can take with each one to build real self-understanding and move toward clarity with more confidence.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • How to recognize the in-between phase of a career transition - and why understanding where you are in the process changes how you feel about it
    • A simple reflection practice that shifts you from chasing answers to building the self-knowledge that leads to genuine career clarity
    • How to read your own energy as a guide during a life transition - and a two-minute daily practice that reveals patterns you may have been too busy to notice

    Press play to find out what this phase of your transition is really asking of you - and how to move through it with more honesty, self-compassion, and clarity.

    If you want support in understanding where you are and what your next chapter could look like, schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita or take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz to get clear on what is holding you back.
