    #299: What the In-Between Phase of a Midlife Career or Life Transition Is Actually Trying to Tell You

    Send us Fan MailWhat if the phase of your midlife transition that feels the most uncertain and untethered is not a sign that something has gone wrong - but the place where everything important is quietly taking root?Most women navigating a career or life transition want to move through the uncomfortable in-between as quickly as possible. The pressure to decide, to act, to just feel like something is moving again is real - and it is exactly what causes so many accomplished women to end up six months later feeling like something is still missing. This episode offers a reframe that may change the way you experience where you are right now.Drawing on the work of William Bridges, who spent decades studying how humans move through change, this episode unpacks the three phases of any transition - and makes the case that the phase you most want to escape is the one that holds the most important information about who you are becoming.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the in-between phase of a midlife career or life transition is not empty - and what is actually happening inside it when everything on the surface feels uncertain and stillHow rushing past the neutral zone leads accomplished women to take action driven by urgency rather than alignment - and why the outcome always feels like something is still missingTwo powerful questions from William Bridges that Kavita uses with almost every coaching client to help women in transition identify what is ready to be released and what is quietly waiting to beginPress play to find out which phase of your transition you are in right now - and what this season of your life may be asking you to notice before you take your next step.If you are in the in-between right now and ready to do the real work of the neutral zone rather than rush past it, schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita - just the two of us, figuring out where you are, what's ending, and what aligned action actually looks like for you.

    #298: What Letting Go of a Role That Defines You Can Teach You About Your Own Life Transition

    Send us Fan MailWhat if the grief you feel alongside the joy of a milestone is not something to push down - but the most honest signal you have about what this season of life is really asking of you?Many women navigating midlife find themselves caught between two true things at once: profound happiness for someone they love, and a quiet, unnamed sadness they don't quite know what to do with. That combination can feel disorienting, even wrong. But it isn't wrong. It is one of the clearest signs that a real transition is underway - one that deserves to be understood, not suppressed.This episode is a deeply personal reflection from Kavita Ahuja. It draws on the work of psychologist Susan David, transitions researcher William Bridges, and anthropologist Arnold van Gennep to make sense of what happens when someone you love steps fully into their life - and what that crossing asks of you in return.In this episode, you'll discover:Why feeling grief alongside joy during a life transition is not a contradiction - and what Susan David's research on emotional agility reveals about the cost of pushing difficult feelings asideHow William Bridges' concept of the "neutral zone" explains the disorienting in-between phase of any career or life transition - and why this uncomfortable space is also where the most important inner work happensTwo powerful questions that can help you move from sitting with an ending toward genuine clarity about what is waiting to begin in your next chapterPress play to hear an honest, grounded reflection on letting go, crossing thresholds, and discovering what becomes possible when you stop treating the ending as something to get through and start listening to what it is telling you.If this episode brought something up for you - a milestone you're sitting with, a role that is shifting, a transition you haven't quite named yet - schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with Kavita to begin moving through it with clarity and intention._________________________Schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with KavitaTake the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz - find out what's holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.Connect with Kavita on LinkedIn | Instagram | FacebookVisit itsmytimenowcoaching.comNew episodes every Monday and Thursday.This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

    #295: 3 Ways Your Inner Critic Sounds Like Wisdom and the One Question That Exposes It

    Send us Fan MailWhat if the thoughts keeping you stuck in your midlife career or life transition are not doubts at all - but ideas that sound completely wise and responsible?The inner critic's most powerful trick is not making you feel bad about yourself. It is giving you thoughts that sound mature, measured, and sensible - thoughts you never think to question. For accomplished women navigating a career or life transition, these do not feel like fear. They feel like common sense. And that is exactly what makes them so difficult to catch.In this episode, you'll discover:Why "I should just be grateful for what I have" can quietly silence your desire for something more - and how to tell the difference between genuine gratitude and a thought that is keeping you in a cage with a beautiful nameHow "I'm not ready yet" disguises itself as responsible preparation while keeping you in a loop of researching and planning with no real finish line - no matter how long you have been getting readyWhy "I'll figure it out on my own" isolates accomplished women far longer than necessary during a midlife life transition - and why navigating career and life transitions is fundamentally different from solving a problem at workPress play to identify which of these three thoughts has been running your life the longest - and learn the one question that breaks the loop and moves you toward real career clarity.If this episode is helping you see something you had not quite named before, take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz to see where you actually are right now - not where your inner critic says you are.

    Send us Fan MailWhat if the voice you have been trusting to keep you safe is actually the thing keeping you stuck in your career and life transition?Most women in midlife expect the inner critic to be loud and harsh. But for accomplished, capable women navigating a career or life transition, it almost never sounds that way. It sounds like common sense. It sounds like practicality, responsibility, and wisdom - and that is exactly what makes it so difficult to see and so hard to challenge. This episode names the specific disguises that inner critic wears, why it is so convincing, and what it is quietly costing you when you listen to it year after year.In this episode, you'll discover:The five disguises the inner critic uses on high-achieving women in midlife transition - including the ones that sound most like wisdom and are the hardest to recognizeThree  research-backed tools from psychologists Ethan Cross and Kristin Neff that create the mental distance you need to stop the inner critic from intercepting every impulse toward changeWhy the shift from feeling stuck to finding career clarity begins not with having all the answers, but with getting genuinely curious about what is true for you underneath all that noisePress play to find out why the voice you have trusted to be realistic may be the very thing standing between you and your next chapter - and how to finally start telling the difference.If you want to see where you truly are right now - not where your inner critic says you are - take the Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz to get clear on where you are already fulfilled and where alignment may be missing.

    Send us Fan MailWhat if feeling stuck in your career is not a sign that something is wrong with you, but a sign that something important in you is ready to be heard?So many accomplished women in career and life transitions are not stuck because they are lazy or unclear.
