If you’ve been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, unusually tired, or unsure how to make even simple decisions lately, this episode is for you.
As we move toward 2026, many women are sensing a deeper shift — not just stress or busyness, but a feeling that old ways of coping, planning, and pushing through are no longer working. In this episode, Kate Garland introduces orientation: a nervous system skill that helps you stay grounded, clear, and connected to yourself when everything around you feels uncertain or in flux.
This is not about positive thinking, calming down, or fixing yourself. It’s about learning how to locate yourself internally before making decisions, consuming information, or reacting to the outside world — especially as we approach the end of a major collective cycle.
This episode includes a gentle arrival and orientation practice to help you settle into your body, clarify where you are, and reconnect with your inner authority — right here, right now.
You don’t need to know where you’re going yet.
You just need to know where you are.
🌿 Want another simple practice to help you stay oriented and regulated?
The Free Anxiety Reset teaches you how to come back into your body in under 7 minutes — no mat, no quiet room required.
It’s designed to be used in real life, whenever you need support.

If you’re feeling tired in a way sleep hasn’t fixed…
If your nervous system feels loud, brittle, or overworked…
If you sense your body asking for rest—not collapse, not distraction, but true restoration—
This guided Yoga Nidra meditation is for you.
Yoga Nidra is a powerful, evidence-based practice for deep rest and nervous system regulation, often described as “yogic sleep.” In this state, the body rests as if asleep while awareness remains gently awake—allowing stress patterns to unwind, the mind to quiet, and the system to restore itself from the inside out.
This episode begins immediately with the guided practice, so please take a moment to orient yourself before pressing play.
In under 30 minutes, you’ll be guided into a profoundly restorative state that supports:
You don’t need to effort.
You don’t need to “do it right.”
You don’t need to earn this rest.
Just lie down—and let your body remember how to restore itself.
For the science, history, and soul of this practice, listen to Unlocking the Healing Power of Deep Rest — What Yoga Nidra Really Is, where I break down how Yoga Nidra affects the brain, nervous system, and long-term resilience.
As we move toward 2026, many women are realizing that midlife isn’t something to “push through”—it’s an initiation to be met.
If you’re feeling the call for deeper support, structure, and meaning as you walk through this threshold, I invite you to join the Second Firing 2026 waitlist—a transformational container for women navigating the physical, emotional, and energetic fire of midlife with clarity, sovereignty, and embodied wisdom.

Do you feel anxious even when nothing is wrong?
Does your body feel tense, wired, or exhausted — but “relaxation” doesn’t help?
Have you tried breathwork, meditation, movement, or nervous system tools… only to feel worse?
You’re not broken.
You’re just using stress tools for anxiety — and anxiety tools for stress.
In this powerful, hour-long deep dive, Kate Garland, nervous system–informed coach and intuitive guide, explains the critical difference between stress, strain, and anxiety — a distinction almost no one is taught, and one that changes everything once you understand it.
This episode is for women who are:
• chronically stressed but can’t pinpoint why
• high-functioning yet secretly overwhelmed
• anxious without a clear trigger
• burned out, but unable to truly rest
• frustrated that “nervous system regulation” hasn’t worked the way it was promised
Blending neuroscience, endocrinology, somatic psychology, and lived experience, Kate offers a framework that replaces self-blame with clarity — and confusion with relief.

In this episode, we blow up the most common myths about burnout and get honest about what’s really happening beneath the surface — especially for women in midlife who feel exhausted, foggy, emotionally flat, or quietly overwhelmed for “no logical reason.”
Kate reframes burnout not as a failure of willpower or self-care… but as a nervous system overload problem.
You’ll hear:
This conversation is for you if:
This is not a “burnout recovery checklist” episode.
It’s a perspective shift.
A nervous-system truth bomb.
And a compassionate invitation to stop carrying what your body can no longer hold.
You’ll leave understanding:
Burnout isn’t about doing too much.
It’s about holding too much open.
⭐️ And you’ll be guided through a simple nervous-system reset you can use anywhere — even in your car — to begin creating safety and capacity in real time.
Because you don’t need to fix your life.
You just need enough safety inside your body to close one tab.

If you’re in your 40s or 50s, exhausted to your bones but still wide awake at 2:37am, this episode is for you.
This isn’t the “newborn years” kind of tired.
This is the my body literally will not let me sleep kind of tired.
In this episode, Kate Garland unpacks why so many midlife women feel tired but wired — and why it’s not because you’re broken, weak, or “bad at self-care.” We’ll talk about what’s actually happening with your hormones, brain, and nervous system in perimenopause/menopause, and how your weird, fragmented sleep might have more purpose than you’ve been led to believe.
You’ll walk away feeling less crazy, less alone, and with a few grounded tools you can start using tonight.
In this episode, we explore:
This episode is for you if:
Hit play when you can’t tell if you need a nap, a nervous system reset, or a completely new script for what midlife is supposed to feel like.
And if this episode lands for you, it would mean the world if you’d share it with a friend who’s also lying awake at 2:14am wondering if she’s losing it. She’s not. And neither are you. 💛

If you think your breath is “just breathing,” this episode is going to blow the doors off everything you thought you understood about your body, your nervous system, and your emotional life.
Because your breath?
It’s not neutral.
It’s not random.
It’s not quiet.
It’s revealing you.
Every inhale, every pause, every exhale you cut short — it’s all data.
It’s your subconscious speaking in Morse code.
And once you know how to read the signals, you’ll never see yourself the same way again.
Today, you’ll take what might be the most accurate personality assessment of your entire midlife, using nothing but the way you’re breathing right now.
This isn’t a quiz.
It’s not a gimmick.
This is the map your body has been trying to hand you for years.
Get ready — this one’s light, fun, wildly illuminating, and just irreverent enough to feel like a cosmic mirror held up to your Monday morning.
And once you hear this?
You’ll never un-hear it.
You’ll discover exactly who you’ve been breathing as… and who you’re becoming.
This is the assessment of the decade — and it’s happening in your body, right now.

Safety isn’t something the world gives you—it’s something you build inside your own body.
In this episode, Kate explores what safety means—and why we’ve been taught to search for it everywhere except inside ourselves.
Through her own story of chaos, control, and hurricanes, she reveals the deeper truth: safety isn’t the absence of danger, it’s the presence of trust—trust in your body, your breath, and your ability to meet the moment.
If you’ve ever felt like your peace depends on keeping everyone else calm, this one will feel like a deep exhale.

In this episode, Kate unearths the real origins of Samhain — the ancient Celtic festival that gave birth to Halloween — and explores how this season of darkness was never meant to be spooky. It was sacred. A time to honor endings, commune with mystery, and meet the parts of ourselves we’ve buried.
From the bonfires of ancient Ireland to the marigolds of Día de los Muertos, we trace how cultures around the world have danced with death, shadow, and renewal. And we ask the deeper question:
What if this season isn’t about fearing the dark… but becoming friends with it?
You’ll hear stories of ancient rituals (and one very modern Tampa pirate festival), how repression fuels the shadow we’re trying to avoid, and why integration — not denial — is the real alchemy of transformation.
Inside this conversation:
Because the veil that’s truly thinning isn’t just between the living and the dead — it’s between you and the parts of yourself you’ve been afraid to meet.

Hormones, Safety & Enoughness in Midlife
What does it really mean to have enough — and to be enough?
In this deeply human episode, Kate Garland unpacks the biology and the soul of enoughness — how our hormones, brain chemistry, and nervous system shape our sense of satisfaction, safety, and self-worth, especially in midlife.
You’ll learn why so many women feel restless or “flat” in their 40s and 50s even when life looks full on paper — and how the quiet decline of estrogen, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin changes the way we experience joy, motivation, and connection.
This is science through the lens of soul work: equal parts biology, story, and nervous-system wisdom.
Because enough isn’t a number or an affirmation —
it’s a state your body learns to regulate into.

If “just take a deep breath” has ever made you feel worse instead of better… this episode will explain exactly why.
Because what if the world’s oldest wellness advice — from yoga studios to therapy offices — has it backward?
We’ve been told to inhale more, fill up, expand, “breathe in the light.”
But calm doesn’t come from taking in more air — it comes from learning to breathe less, exhale better, and tolerate more CO₂.
In this bold, myth-busting conversation, Kate Garland — midlife reinvention coach, intuitive guide, and lifelong yoga therapist — unpacks the real science and spirituality of the breath: how carbon dioxide (yes, the thing we were taught to fear) is actually the mineral of your respiration — the key that lets oxygen unlock and nourish your cells.
You’ll learn why:
This is yoga meets neuroscience.
Pranayama meets parasympathetic.
Patrick meets the Priestess.
And once you hear it, you’ll never “just take a deep breath” again.

We’ve all tried them — affirmations.
“I am abundant.” “I am radiant.” “I am calm.”
But what happens when those words just… don’t land? When your brain (and your body) roll their eyes and whisper, “yeah, right.”
In this episode, Kate Garland — midlife reinvention coach, intuitive guide, and nervous system mentor — cracks open the science and soul behind why traditional affirmations often fail and introduces you to their powerful upgrade: afformations.
Afformations (coined by Noah St. John) flip the script — turning your statements into questions that work with your brain and body, not against them. The result? Less resistance, more curiosity, and a nervous system that finally says yes.

🔥 Midlife Reinvention: Nervous System Healing, Energy Balance, Intuition & Sovereignty
Midlife isn’t decline — it’s initiation.
Yet most women are caught between two broken narratives: the cultural silence that tells us to disappear gracefully… or the biohacking circus that promises to trick your body into acting twenty-five again. Both are cages. Both are lies.
The truth? Your body isn’t the problem — it’s the portal. Midlife is a full-on evolutionary upgrade: your hormones, brain, priorities, and intuition are reorganizing to crown you in sovereignty. But fire always comes before the crown — and without the right framework, that fire can feel like chaos.
That’s why I created The Second Firing Transformation — a 3-month sacred container that blends 3D science-backed practices (comfort + vitality right now) with 5D energetic practices (the deep internal shifts that rewire your outer life).
This is where the mystical meets the practical, where nervous system healing fuses with intuition, and where midlife reinvention stops being theory and becomes lived reality.
👉 Doors are open now — but close Friday.
Spots are intentionally limited, because this is high-touch, founding-cohort work.
If you’re done with silence and done with hacks, this is your invitation: step into the fire, claim your crown, and join us today.

Midlife isn’t a breakdown—it’s initiation.
In this playful, soul-steadying episode, Kate Garland explores how fire shows up as alchemy in our 40s and 50s:

the forest fire that clears what’s choking you,
the campfire of belonging,
the kitchen fire that nourishes, and more.

What happens when the strategies that once carried you through life suddenly stop working?
The late nights you used to power through now wreck your sleep.
The workouts that once fueled you now leave your joints aching.
The people-pleasing that kept things smooth suddenly feels unbearable.
From the outside, it looks like you’re falling apart — body, mind, and soul coming undone. But what if it’s not collapse at all?
What if midlife isn’t a breakdown, but an initiation — an upgrade into the most sovereign version of you?
In this episode, Kate Garland explores the physical, neurological, and emotional shifts of midlife through both science and myth:
Midlife isn’t a malfunction. It’s the forge, the fire, the second firing.

So many women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are living through the same reality — sleepless nights, shifting moods, bodies that don’t feel familiar anymore — and yet we rarely talk about it. Midlife has become one of the most silenced chapters of a woman’s life.
In this episode of Radically You, Kate Garland explores why that silence exists, how it isolates us, and what it costs when we keep pretending everything is fine. From cultural conditioning that teaches us not to “complain,” to the shame woven into women’s bodies from menarche onward, Kate shares both personal stories and neuroscience on why hiding doesn’t heal — and why speaking our truth sets us free.
You’ll learn:
Because ending the silence isn’t just relief — it’s liberation.

What if your intuition wasn’t something mystical “out there”… but a built-in guidance system you’ve had all along?
In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers on how intuition actually speaks to you. Not in vague signs or fluffy platitudes, but through clear, recognizable channels that have been with you since childhood. Somewhere along the way, most of us were taught to shut them down—and with that, we lost access to a huge part of our power.
This is your invitation to remember. To reconnect with the ways your intuition has always been speaking, whether through flashes of insight, gut-level knowing, or that sense of “I just knew.”
We’ll talk about:
By the end, you’ll see that intuition isn’t rare or reserved for “gifted” people. It’s your birthright. And the more you trust it, the more alive, clear, and grounded you feel.
✨ I’d love to hear from you: How did this land with you? Did something click? Do you want me to go deeper into a specific piece—like how to protect yourself when your sensitivity makes places like the DMV feel like an energetic torture chamber?

Are you in midlife, perimenopause, or menopause and wondering why you feel stuck, numb, or unsure what you really want?
You’re not alone — and it’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or “too old to change.”
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many smart, sensitive women in midlife feel disconnected from their desires — and why clarity, confidence, and aliveness are so hard to access when you’re stressed, overextended, or running on empty.
We’ll talk about:
If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot, stop waiting for the next big achievement to make you happy, and start reconnecting to a life that feels rich, vibrant, and aligned, this conversation is your roadmap.
