E108 Redefining Success In Midlife: Are ...

Katie Farinas
About this episode

In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, Katie invites you to take a closer look at what success really means—especially in the middle chapter of life.

Too often, society defines success by external achievements, productivity, and material gains. But these markers can leave us stuck in an endless loop of goal-chasing and short-lived satisfaction. Katie challenges this narrative and encourages listeners to reflect on what success means on a soul level.


Tune in as she explores:

  • Why traditional success metrics often leave us feeling empty
  • The power of self-exploration, curiosity, and inner fulfillment
  • How to align your life with your values and purpose
  • Using your unique gifts to serve others
  • Cultivating inner steadiness, especially in uncertain times

This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that true success might not be something you chase—but something you choose, moment by moment, in alignment with your deepest truths.

✨ Whether you’re reevaluating your career, navigating a life transition, or simply craving more meaning, this episode will help you reconnect with what really matters.
