Episode Details

What happens when midlife invites you to stop performing and start creating? In this episode of Transforming 45, host Lisa Boate sits down with visionary artist Karen Edgett for a soulful, expansive conversation about midlife transformation, menopause as liberation, conscious food, and co-creating with nature.

Karen shares her journey from living a “functional” life to fully embracing her identity as a visionary artist, exploring how art, intuition, and nature guide us back to truth—especially during menopause and midlife awakening.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, identity shifts, creative reawakening, or spiritual curiosity in midlife.
