What if midlife isn't a crisis at all, but a powerful opportunity for transformation? In this illuminating conversation, author and spiritual teacher Keri Mangis challenges us to flip the script on everything we thought we knew about this pivotal life stage.

Keri shares her extraordinary journey through breakdown to breakthrough, including a raw, vulnerable moment when years of suppressed emotions finally erupted in a primal scream that changed everything. She explains how women especially are conditioned to "keep the peace" at the expense of our authentic selves, storing trauma in our bodies until we finally create space for healing.

We explore the concept of the "liminal stage" – that messy, uncomfortable middle place between who we were and who we're becoming. Unlike Western culture, which provides little guidance for these in-between times, Keri offers practical wisdom for navigating these transformative spaces with grace and purpose.

From her solo pilgrimage to Myanmar that forever changed her relationship with identity, to her insights about releasing societal "shoulds" and reclaiming our authentic voice, Keri provides a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, disillusioned, or ready for profound change. She reminds us that our purpose isn't some external achievement but authenticity itself – living true to our values regardless of whether it fits neatly into societal expectations.

Whether you're in the throes of midlife transformation or simply questioning the path you're on, this conversation offers compassionate guidance for breaking free from limitations, embracing uncertainty, and finally living life on your own terms.

Keri Mangis is more than just an author and speaker—she’s a guide for those seeking deeper meaning and transformation in a chaotic world. With over 20 years of experience as a wholeness advocate and spiritual teacher, Keri understands the frustration of feeling stuck and disconnected. Through her writing and teachings, Keri helps people break free from limiting beliefs to rediscover their true essence and align with their core values.

Her spiritual and personal growth studies and certifications have run the gamut over the years from yoga, Ayurveda, energy work, and meditation. Most recently, she has taken on studying Alchemy, Jungian Psychology, archetypes, and rites of passage. She has completed courses with Sharon Blackie, Michael Meade, and the Center of Applied Jungian Studies.

She is a current writer for Spirituality and Health Magazine, and a top 50 writer at Elephant Journal. Her first book, Embodying Soul: A Return to Wholeness, received multiple awards, including the 2020 IPA award for Mind, Body & Spirit and the 2020 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal in Non-Fiction Spiritual and Supernatural.
