Brutal Truths: Husbands Need to Hear Part 1 Every husband wants to be respected. But here's a difficult question: Have you become the kind of man who is truly respectable? Most people think respect is earned in the big moments. The promotions. The accomplishments. The recognition. But God often builds respectable men much differently. In private. When no one is watching. One courageous choice. One difficult apology. One conviction you refuse to compromise. One act of obedience after another. In this week's episode, we dive into why genuine respect grows from the character you build long before anyone else sees it. The private choices you make today... Become the man your wife, your children, and others will admire tomorrow. That's how God builds lasting transformation.

How yoga philosophy helps us love difficult people without abandoning ourselves.How do we keep our hearts open when someone has hurt us?And how do we practice love without pretending something is okay when it is not?In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, we continue the conversation from Part 1 of Loving When It Feels Hard and go deeper into what happens when difficult relationships become truly hurtful.This episode is not about spiritual bypassing. It is not about pretending you are not angry, hurt, resentful, or grieving. And it is not about abandoning yourself in the name of being loving or spiritual.Instead, this episode explores how yoga philosophy can help us stay connected to love while also honoring our truth, setting boundaries, feeling our emotions, and protecting our peace.We talk about ahimsa, or non-harming, and why non-harming must include yourself. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is set a clear boundary, create distance, speak the truth, or even release a relationship that continues to cause harm.We also explore viveka, or discernment, as the practice of seeing clearly what a moment requires. Love does not always look soft from the outside. Sometimes love looks like firmness. Sometimes it looks like a boundary. Sometimes it looks like refusing to participate in a harmful pattern.This episode also moves into vairagya, or non-attachment, especially when we want someone else to change. We can love someone, hope for their healing, and model another way of being without attaching our peace to whether or not they are willing to evolve.And finally, we explore forgiveness, anger, grief, and upeksha, or equanimity. Forgiveness is not excusing what happened. It is not rushing past pain. It is not saying something was okay when it was not. Forgiveness is a process of telling the truth, feeling what is underneath the anger, and eventually releasing the hope that the past could have been different.This is deep spiritual work.It asks us to practice svadhyaya, or self-study, by looking honestly at our own reactions, triggers, wounds, patterns, and responsibilities. Even when someone else is wrong, our healing still belongs to us.If you are navigating a painful or complicated relationship, this episode is an invitation to return to your center, tell the truth, set the boundary, feel what is real, and reach for the highest branch of loving-kindness available to you.Not perfect love.Not forced forgiveness.Not self-abandonment.But the kind of love that keeps your heart open without letting harm continue.In This Episode, We ExploreWhy loving someone does not mean abandoning yourselfThe difference between spirituality and spiritual bypassingWhy pretending you are not hurt or angry can become a form of self-harmHow ahimsa, or non-harming, must include yourselfWhy boundaries can be an expression of loveHow love does not always look gentle from the outsideWhat viveka, or discernment, teaches us about taking right actionWhy we cannot force another person to changeHow vairagya, or non-attachment, helps us release our grip on someone else's evolutionWhy forgiveness should never be rushedHow anger can point us toward grief, hurt, shame, fear, or sadness underneathWhy forgiveness is not excusing harm or letting someone off the hookHow svadhyaya, or self-study, helps us see our wounds and triggers clearlyWhat it means to reach for the highest branch of loving-kindnessHow upeksha, or equanimity, helps us choose peace without denying painYoga Philosophy Concepts in This EpisodeAhimsaAhimsa means non-harming. In this episode, we explore why non-harming must include yourself. Staying in harmful patterns, denying your emotions, or pretending something is okay when it is not can become a form of self-harm.VivekaViveka means discernment or clear seeing. It is the ability to pause, return to your center, and see what the moment actually requires. Sometimes the loving response is softness. Sometimes it is truth. Sometimes it is a firm boundary.VairagyaVairagya means non-attachment. In difficult relationships, this can mean loving someone, hoping for their healing, and modeling another way without attaching your peace to whether or not they choose to change.SvadhyayaSvadhyaya means self-study. It is the practice of honestly observing your thoughts, reactions, wounds, patterns, and triggers so you can see where healing is needed and return to greater freedom.UpekshaUpeksha means equanimity. It is the ability to remain steady, grounded, and clear even in the presence of pain, complexity, or difficult emotions. Equanimity allows us to choose peace without denying what happened.Reflection Questions From This EpisodeWhere am I confusing love with self-abandonment?What emotions have I been pretending are not there?Is there a boundary I need to set in order to practice non-harming toward myself?Am I hoping someone else will change before I allow myself to feel peace?What am I still attached to that is keeping me on an emotional rollercoaster?What is underneath my anger?Is there grief, hurt, sadness, fear, or shame asking to be seen?What wound in me may have been touched by this relationship?What is my responsibility in my own healing?What is the highest branch of loving-kindness I can reach for right now?What would help me return to equanimity?Gentle Practice From This EpisodeThe next time you feel anger, resentment, or hurt rising in a difficult relationship, pause before reacting.Take a few slow breaths.Place one hand over your heart if that feels supportive.Then ask yourself:What am I really feeling beneath the anger?What boundary would protect my peace?What is mine to heal?What is not mine to carry?What would love look like here if love included me too?You do not have to force forgiveness.You do not have to pretend you are okay.Just begin with honesty.That is svadhyaya.That is self-study.That is the beginning of freedom.About Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment.

Would you use the seller's lawyer to protect you during one of the largest financial decisions of your life? Then why would you expect the seller's listing agent to protect your interests when you purchase a home? In Episode 756 of LIFE's Inside Track, Ken and Yetta explain the difference between receiving access to a property and receiving genuine buyer representation. A skilled buyer REALTOR® can help you: • Protect your confidential information • Compare several properties objectively • Recognize risks you may not know to investigate • Choose appropriate conditions and purchase terms • Protect your negotiating position • Coordinate inspections and specialized advice • Think beyond the excitement of the showing • Consider how the property may affect your life after closing Ken also shares the story of a buyer considering a four-unit power-of-sale property. The buyer had previously viewed the building with the listing agent but felt rushed and unable to examine important systems carefully. The second visit was different. With someone clearly representing the buyer's interests, there was time to investigate deficiencies, consider the risks of an as-is purchase and discuss the unusual negotiation process involved in a power of sale. A listing REALTOR® may be knowledgeable, professional and helpful. The important question is not whether they are good at their job. The question is: Who is their client? You are not choosing a REALTOR® merely to help you buy a property. You are choosing who will help protect your money, your options and the life you will live after the purchase.

Why does the craving hit out of nowhere? Why does wine feel like it helps with overwhelm? And why does cutting back feel so hard even when you really want to?

Plus: the science behind vacuuming and your high school playlist. Yes, really.Topics covered: Why alcohol feels like it helps with overwhelm — and what it's actually doing | The dopamine anticipation loop that starts at 3pm | Borrowing relief from tomorrow — and what you're paying back | The habit loop: cue, routine, reward — in plain language | Why cravings are still strong after two weeks (and what the 90-day reset actually means) | The July Fourth craving that passed in twenty minutes | Playing it forward | Nervous system regulation tools that actually work — including vacuuming and your high school playlist | The two questions to ask when a craving hitsThe two questions: What am I feeling right now?

What if the biggest source of your suffering isn't what happened to you, but the story you've been telling yourself afterward? In this episode, I share a powerful conversation I had with my son on the golf course that became a profound reminder of how often we create unnecessary suffering by turning life's setbacks into judgments about ourselves. Drawing from the Buddhist teaching of the "second arrow," I explore how our thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations often hurt us far more than the original event itself. I also explain how this wisdom connects so deeply with midlife, when many of us begin questioning the lives we've built and wonder why they no longer feel aligned. I walk through practical tools I use with my clients, including thought downloads, honest self-appraisal, and separating facts from the stories we create. My hope is that you'll begin to recognize where you've been shooting yourself with unnecessary second arrows—and discover that you have far more power to create change than you may realize. In this episode, you'll learn: What the Buddhist teaching of the "second arrow" can teach us about suffering Why our thoughts often create more pain than our circumstances How to separate facts from the stories you tell yourself Practical tools for creating lasting change in midlife Why small, intentional shifts create powerful long-term transformation If you're ready to stop holding yourself back and begin creating a life that's truly aligned with who you are today, I'd love to help.

If you're a teen seeking more independence and you want to start handling things on your own, or if you're planning on moving into your own place and feeling a little unsure of how to prepare, this episode is for you. Katie Kimball, founder of Raising Healthy Families, breaks down the three life skills that will change everything about how you show up in the world once you leave home, and how to start proving to yourself (and your parents) that you're ready. Today's guest is Katie Kimball, a former teacher, two time TEDx speaker, mom of four, and the creator of the Teens Cook Real Food course and the Life Skills Now virtual summer camp. She also blogs at Kitchen Stewardship. Her mission is to connect families around healthy food, teach every kid to cook, and instill the life skills that make young adults actually thrive when they leave home. In this episode you'll hear the three core life skills every teen needs before leaving home -- which skill unlocks the others, why one third of teens are struggling with anxiety right now and how life skills work as an anti-anxiety tool. You'll also get the exact script to use with your parents when you want more independence. Plus, Katie's simple formula for making killer introductions so you're the favorite person in any room. Here's what you'll discover: Why communication (without your thumbs) is the number one skill most teens are missing The simple question-asking habit that makes you great at conversation instantly The "art of awesome introductions" formula that makes you the person everyone wants to be around Why cooking is the gateway life skill and what "cooking" actually means (hint: not the microwave) The bucket of proof concept and how it builds real confidence you can actually feel Why failure in the kitchen is one of the best gifts your brain will ever get The UCLA research on teens with a sense of purpose (and how cooking gives you one on demand) Why "bank account balance budgeting" is destroying your money and what to do instead How compound interest works and why understanding it as a teen changes everything The Venn diagram approach to earning independence with your parents The exact line to use when you and your parents are not on the same page about how much freedom you should have Why the friends you keep matter (make friends with people who care about their lives) Parents: This is a really useful episode to listen to alongside your teen. Katie unpacks why the "failure to launch" pattern is so common right now, what actually builds resilience and confidence in a teen (spoiler: not being told they're strong, but proving it to themselves through real skills), and how to think about the gradual separation of the teen years as a healthy process instead of a stressful one. Her three-part framework (communication, cooking, finances) gives you and your teen something concrete to work on together this summer or this school year.

Could Women Be Increasing Fatherlessness? Take a moment and ask yourself this question: What does your husband see when he looks into your eyes? Does he see admiration? Does he feel respected? Or does he brace himself for another correction? It's not an easy question. Most wives don't wake up wanting to criticize their husbands. You simply want your marriage to be better. You want him to grow. You want your family to thrive. But what if one of the greatest gifts you could give your husband isn't another suggestion... What if it's genuine admiration? This week, we explore why respect is "like oxygen" to a husband, how criticism can quietly wound your husband's heart, and how learning to admire the strengths God has placed in him can begin transforming your marriage—and with it, your home and your family. If you've been praying for healing, this conversation may give you a completely new perspective.

Pastor Finds His Own Marriage Revival Here: Interview with Father Joe Sometimes the smallest changes tell the biggest story. In this week's conversation, Father Joe shares the very first change he noticed after his wife went through coaching. She stopped telling him how to drive. (Yes, really!) It might sound like a funny detail. But to him, it represented something much deeper. Less tension. Less criticism. More peace. More grace. And it made him wonder: "What changed?" The answer wasn't that she'd simply learned better communication. God had been transforming her heart. Maybe you've been praying for God to change your marriage. What if He begins by changing one heart? What if one willing heart becomes the catalyst for peace throughout an entire family? At first, Father Joe wasn't interested in coaching. But after watching God at work in his wife's life, he decided to take that same step of faith. As he did, God began changing his heart too. He learned to listen instead of trying to fix. He discovered new ways to love and understand his wife. Today, he describes their marriage with words like peace, unity, hope, and deeper intimacy. Even their children noticed the difference. And now, together, he and his wife are helping other couples in their church experience that same hope. That's how God often works. He changes hearts. And changed hearts begin changing homes.

Midlife has taught me something I wish I had understood years ago: sometimes the problem isn't my relationship, my marriage, or the life I've built. Sometimes the real problem is that I've become disconnected from what I truly want. In this episode, I explore why so many women lose touch with their own desires after years of caring for everyone else and why reconnecting with ourselves is one of the most powerful things we can do. I talk about the beliefs that keep us feeling stuck, the guilt that often comes with wanting more, and how curiosity—not drastic action—is the first step toward creating a life that feels vibrant and authentic. Whether you're questioning your relationships, your purpose, or simply wondering why life feels different in midlife, I hope this conversation gives you permission to slow down, listen to yourself, and rediscover what truly matters. In this episode, you'll learn: Why so many women disconnect from their own wants and needs.  How unexamined beliefs keep us feeling stuck.  Why curiosity is more powerful than rushing into big decisions.  How midlife offers an opportunity to reconnect with who we really are.  Practical ways to begin honoring your own desires every day.  If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Reach out at hello@mikkigardner.com, share what's coming up for you, and let's continue the conversation. You don't have to navigate this season alone.

Feeling like you can't balance it all? This episode explores why balance is a myth and how yoga teaches us to wobble, readjust, and return to center.What if balance is not something we are supposed to finally achieve?What if balance is not standing perfectly still, holding everything together, or giving equal energy to every part of your life?In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, we explore the myth of balance and what yoga can teach us about the real practice of staying centered in everyday life.So many of us have been taught that we should be able to balance it all: family, work, friendships, health, home, spiritual growth, parenting, rest, and all the endless responsibilities of being an adult. And when we cannot do it all perfectly, we assume we are failing.But balance, as we often imagine it, does not really exist.In yoga, balancing postures like Tree Pose or Warrior III are not still and perfect. They are full of tiny movements, adjustments, wiggles, wobbles, and moments of falling out and beginning again. The body is constantly sensing, shifting, and returning to center.Life is the same way.This episode is an invitation to stop chasing the impossible version of balance and begin practicing a more compassionate, honest, and seasonal version of it instead.You'll be invited to ask: What matters most in this season? What is my edge right now? What can I release without guilt? What would help me stay present, peaceful, and connected to what matters?If you have been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you are failing at balancing it all, this episode will help you see balance in a new way.You are not failing.You are practicing.In This Episode, We ExploreWhy balance, as we usually define it, is a mythHow the pressure to “balance it all” makes women feel like they are failingWhat yoga balancing postures teach us about real lifeWhy wiggles, wobbles, and falling out are part of the practiceHow to think about balance as constant readjustment instead of perfectionWhy different seasons of life require different prioritiesHow to recognize your personal edge before you become overwhelmedWhy intentional choices help us step out of autopilotHow the idea of “enough” can help us release unrealistic expectationsWhat it means to return to center with compassionJournal Prompts From This EpisodeWhat does balance look like for me in this season of life?What matters most to me over the next three months?What would make this season feel meaningful, connected, or well-lived?What am I carrying because I think I “should”?What can I release without guilt?Where have I overshot my edge?What would help me feel more present, peaceful, and grounded right now?When I look back on this season, what will I be glad I made space for?What will I be glad I let go of?Practice From This EpisodeThe next time you feel like you are failing at balance, picture yourself in Tree Pose.Notice the foot and ankle making tiny adjustments.Notice the body swaying.Notice how balance is not stillness.It is movement.It is sensing.It is readjusting.It is falling out and choosing to return.Then ask yourself:What adjustment do I need to make today?Not forever.Not for everyone.Just today.About Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment.

Text us a comment or question!Artificial intelligence is everywhere.But beyond the headlines, hype, and scary predictions, AI may become one of the most powerful tools we've ever had for improving our health - especially after 50.In this episode, I sit down with physician and author Dr. Earl Campazzi to explore how everyday people can use AI, wearable technology, and health data to make smarter decisions, ask better questions, and take greater control of their health and longevity.This isn't about replacing your doctor or becoming obsessed with gadgets.It's about using technology as a practical tool to help you sleep better, train smarter, catch problems earlier, and become a more informed partner in your own healthcare.Whether you wear an Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura Ring, WHOOP, or simply want to get more out of your annual physical, this conversation will completely change how you think about the future of preventive medicine.In this episode, you'll learn:Why AI should be your health assistant—not your physicianHow your smartwatch and wearable devices may be detecting important health trends before you ever notice symptomsThe biggest mistake most people make when using ChatGPT for health adviceA simple prompting strategy that produces dramatically better AI answersHow AI can help you prepare for doctor appointments and ask better questionsWhy bringing organized information to your physician leads to better careHow to safely use AI to analyze blood work and other health data while protecting your privacyWhy trends matter far more than single data pointsHow to use wearable data to improve sleep, recovery, stress, and overall performanceWhy building healthy habits will always outperform relying on motivation and willpowerHow AI is already improving colonoscopies, mammograms, medical documentation, and disease detectionWhy personalized medicine is becoming more realistic than ever beforeWhat the future of AI-powered healthcare may look like over the next few yearsKey TakeawayTechnology isn't replacing personal responsibility. It's giving us better tools. The healthiest people over 50 won't necessarily be the ones with the newest gadgets—they'll be the ones who learn how to use those tools consistently to make better decisions every single day.Connect with Dr. Earl Campazzi

I used to believe healing had to happen through huge breakthroughs, dramatic changes, or finding the perfect answer. But after stepping away from my everyday life for a week of deep personal work, I came home with a very different perspective. I discovered that lasting transformation isn't about changing everything overnight — it's about creating intentional space, embracing community, and committing to small, consistent shifts that build over time. In this episode, I share what I learned about presence, healing in relationship, taking responsibility for my response rather than my past, and why the "2-degree shift" may be one of the most powerful tools for creating lasting change. If you've been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like something inside you is asking for more, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to figure it all out alone. In this episode, you'll learn: Why presence is one of the most powerful healing practices.  How community accelerates personal transformation.  Why I focus on responding instead of reliving the past.  How small, intentional 2-degree shifts create lasting change.  Practical ways to begin reconnecting with yourself today.  If you're ready to begin creating sustainable change in your own life, I'd love to support you.

Surrender Your Masculinity to Jesus: Interview with Aaron Smith Consider this question: If your marriage never changed... Would Jesus still be enough? That question is at the heart of this week's conversation with Aaron Smith. For four long years, he and his wife struggled with painful intimacy issues that nearly ended their marriage. Like many couples, they kept praying for God to change their circumstances. Instead, God began changing their hearts. One of the most powerful moments in our conversation comes when Aaron realizes that Jesus didn't wait for His Bride to become perfect before giving Himself for her. He loved first. Sacrificially. Completely. That's the invitation for every one of us. Not because it's easy. But because it's the way of Christ. To love first. Let this conversation encourage you to remember: God cares about your marriage. He is worthy of your surrender. And He is still working.

PPS - Here is what (another) recent Coaching Graduate had to say: For years, I felt so dissatisfied, frustrated, and angry toward my wife.  I was living in a repeating cycle of expecting sex, not being fulfilled by it because of her lack of desire for me, being angry at her for not trying to connect with me in the relationship, holding it in for as long as possible, then trying to "fix it" by talking to her about it or lashing out at her, then back to the expectations. My wife, kids, and myself, all felt unsafe and dissatisfied with life and who I was... This program has helped me so much to learn how to handle not only my emotions, but hers as well. She is truly seeing me as a safe place and I want to protect that at all costs...I have also learned how to speak to my wife's heart and to truly listen to her...I am now living in God's purpose and design and the pieces around me are falling into place. .........................................................

Episode 113: You don't trust yourself because you've been taught not to love yourself.

In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, I'm joined by author Ann Tashi Slater for a beautiful conversation about bardo, a Tibetan Buddhist concept often translated as an “in-between state.”Ann is the author of Traveling in Bardo, a book about how we move through uncertainty, change, transition, loss, illness, identity shifts, and all the spaces where life no longer looks the way it once did — but the next chapter has not fully arrived.And isn't that so much of midlife?Our bodies change. Our roles change. Our relationships change. Our children grow. Our identities shift. The world around us can feel uncertain and unstable. So often, we want to rush through the discomfort and get to the place where everything finally feels settled.But what if the in-between is not something to escape?What if it is actually a sacred place of possibility, insight, and transformation?In this conversation, Ann and I explore how bardo can help us understand the human experience of impermanence, why our resistance to change often creates more suffering than the change itself, and how we can begin to meet the uncertainty of life with more presence, compassion, and inner steadiness.We also talk about the connection between Tibetan Buddhist wisdom and yoga philosophy, especially around acceptance, karma, action, alignment, and the importance of living in a way that reflects what truly matters to us.This episode is for you if you are in a season of transition, questioning what comes next, grieving a life that no longer exists, or learning how to stop fighting reality and begin listening for the wisdom that can only arrive in the quiet.In This Episode, We Talk AboutWhat bardo means in Tibetan Buddhism and how it applies to everyday lifeWhy midlife can feel like a powerful “in-between” stateHow resistance to change increases sufferingWhy acceptance is not the same as giving upThe relationship between karma, action, and personal agencyHow our thoughts, words, and actions shape the experience of our livesWhy distraction keeps us from seeing clearlyHow to align your time and energy with what matters mostThe importance of listening to your true self beneath conditioning, people-pleasing, and old rolesWhy mortality can help us live with more clarity, courage, and intentionThe possibility hidden inside both voluntary and involuntary transitionsAnn Tashi Slater has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Paris Review, and many others. In her Darjeeling Journal column for Catapult, she writes about her Tibetan family history and bardo, and she blogged for HuffPost on similar topics. She presents and teaches workshops at Princeton, Columbia, Oxford, Asia Society, and The American University of Paris, among others.

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!TW: LossThe biggest pitfall to your marriage isn't conflict. It's assuming you'll always have more time.A few weeks ago, I lost one of my best friends.Her passing changed the way I think about life, marriage, and the conversations we choose to postpone.As parents, it's easy to believe there will always be another season to reconnect, another opportunity to express appreciation, another day to repair what feels unresolved.But tomorrow isn't promised.In this deeply personal episode, I share how grief has inspired me to find ways to be even more intentional and why the healthiest marriages aren't built by avoiding difficult conversations but by having them while we still have the chance.In this episode you'll learn:Why we naturally postpone what matters mostThe hidden cost of unspoken appreciationHow avoiding difficult conversations creates distanceSmall daily choices that build lasting connectionReflection questions that can transform your marriage todayIf you've been waiting for the "right time" to reconnect with your spouse, this episode is your reminder that today is the best place to start.Resources Mentioned:Conflict to Connection GuideThe #1 Conversation Married Couples Need to Have MasterclassBook a Clarity Call to get helpThanks for listening!Connect and send a message letting me know what you took away from this episode: @michellepurtacoachingIf you would like to support this show, please rate and review the show, and share it with people you know would love this show too!Support the show

Is It Manipulation or Is It Kindness? Whether you realize it or not, you're already influencing your spouse. Every day. Through your words. Your attitudes. Your reactions. Your encouragement. Your silence. The question isn't whether you're influencing them. The question is why. Are you trying to get your own way? Or are you trying to help them become who God created them to be? That's what this week's podcast is all about. Many husbands and wives feel guilty when they want change in their marriage. They worry that encouraging their spouse toward growth somehow makes them manipulative. But what if influence itself isn't the problem? What if the real issue is the motive behind it? In this episode, we explore the difference between selfish manipulation and godly influence—and why helping your spouse move closer to Jesus may actually be one of the most loving things you can do.

Attempting to change [my wife] only caused her to feel worse and more unsafe. By working on myself to be a better man she is drawn to that. Realizing that God's design is about sacrificial love with no expectations. There is a true freedom in that. I had turned so much about my marriage into a bargaining chip for sex that I had lost the plot and failed to love my beautiful wife the way that Christ loves us.
