About Pursue Your Spark - Fitness, Nutrition, Mindset, Empty Nest, Midlife, Life after 50, Menopause
It's 3 a.m., and you're staring at the ceiling, wondering why everything feels a little off—even when nothing is obviously wrong. You keep telling yourself you're fine, but deep down, you know something has changed. Pursue Your Spark is a midlife fitness and mindset podcast for women feeling stuck in the in-between seasons of life—when the routines, expectations, and habits that once worked no longer fit the life you're living. Each week, we explore the patterns that quietly keep women stuck—from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt to body changes, shifting priorities, and losing touch with themselves. But this isn't another podcast that tells you to try harder. It's a place where you'll feel understood, see midlife through a different lens, and learn the new rules for this season of life. Hosted by midlife fitness expert, author, and coach Heike Yates, each episode blends honest conversations, practical wisdom, and more than 40 years of coaching experience to help you rebuild self-trust, move through midlife with confidence, and fully live the next chapter of your life. Every episode leaves you with one new perspective, one practical step, and the encouragement to keep moving forward—even when life doesn't go according to plan. Whether you've lost touch with yourself, are struggling to stay consistent, or simply wondering what's next, you're in the right place. If you've been wondering whether your best years are behind you, they aren't. They simply require a different set of rules. 🎙️See a list of other "niche podcasts" that I produce https://heikeyates.com/category/podcast/ 📙 Order My New Book Pursue Your Spark https://heikeyates.com/l/pursueyoursparkbook/ 🤩 Visit My Website! https://heikeyates.com/ 🆓 Grab your free Midlife Reset Guide https://heikeyates.com/l/midlife-reset-guide/ 🤩 Join the Pursue Your Spark Blueprint Course ⭐️ https://heikeyates.com/l/spark-blueprint/ 💥 Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heikeyates/

270. Feeling Stuck in Midlife: What If You're Not the Problem? | Jennifer Ragazzo
Published 15 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] If I could just lose those last 15 pounds, that feeling inside will go away. So I'm going to chase the losing the weight. I'll do whatever I need to do to lose the weight. But what I'm actually doing is I'm avoiding looking underneath the surface because the real question is like, if my weight never changed, do I love myself? Am I feeling purposeful? Do I feel belonging in this world? You know, asking ourselves those questions so we can we can place an overemphasis on fixing what we see, what we think is the problem.
