Midlife by Human Design is the podcast for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife reinvention who are ready to stop second-guessing themselves and start deeply trusting themselves. Hosted by Human Design teacher and coach Lori Lisai, this podcast blends Human Design, personal growth, mindset, energy management, spirituality, and midlife wellness to help women come home to themselves, make aligned decisions, and create a life that finally fits who they are becoming in the second half of life. If you're asking: What is Human Design, and how can it help me? Why do I feel so different in my 40s or 50s? Is this perimenopause? Why don't I feel like myself anymore? Why doesn't the life I built fit anymore? Why am I suddenly questioning my career, marriage, or purpose? How do I stop people-pleasing and trust myself? Why is making decisions so hard now? Is it too late to reinvent my life/change careers/leave my marriage/move my home? What's my purpose now that my kids have left home? Who am I now? Why doesn't the life I built fit anymore? Why does everything feel off, even though nothing's technically "wrong?" Why do I feel so restless? you're in the right place. Despite what you've been told, midlife isn't a crisis to survive. It's an invitation to rediscover who you are beneath the expectations, roles, and responsibilities you've carried for everyone else. Through Human Design and honest conversations about identity, perimenopause, menopause, and purpose, we'll explore how to navigate this season with more clarity, confidence, self-trust, and joy. I'm your host, Lori Lisai, a Human Design guide, coach, former educator, and fellow midlife woman who's passionate about helping women stop outsourcing their authority and start living in alignment with who they were always meant to be. Human Design gave me permission to trust myself, and now I help other women do the same. It's time to shed the shoulds and be who you came here to be. Each week, we'll explore topics like: * Human Design for beginners and beyond: Energy Types, Strategy, Authority, Profiles, Centers, Channels, Gates, planetary placements, and practical ways to apply your chart in everyday life * Human Design through the lens of perimenopause, menopause, relationships, parenting, purpose, and personal growth * Midlife reinvention, identity shifts, empty nesting, career pivots, and discovering what's next * Energy management, nervous system support, mindset, and self-care that actually restores you * Archetypes (like the Wild Woman phase you're stepping into), spirituality, intuition, astrology, and grounded wisdom that helps you make confident, aligned decisions Whether you're discovering Human Design for the first time or you've had your chart for years, this podcast will help you move from confusion to clarity, from self-doubt to self-trust, and from simply getting through midlife to creating a life that feels deeply authentic. If you've been wondering where your spark went and how to get it back, you're in the right place. Here, we dream bigger (or learn how to) and remember that midlife is the opportunity to finally be your authentic self. Each episode is part teaching, part coaching, part reflection, part permission slip—with practical tools, honest conversations, relatable stories, and the occasional well-placed F-bomb. If you're ready to trust yourself, embrace reinvention, and create a life that feels deeply aligned, welcome to Midlife by Human Design. 🎧 Connect with Lori: 📬 Get Wild Woman Wisdom in Your Inbox My newsletter for Human Design transits, astrology, midlife reflections, & offerings I don't share anywhere else. 👉 lorilisai.com/#newsletter 📥 Get your free Human Design chart & Resources Download your Human Design chart, the Human Design Mini Guide, and the Perimenopause Survival Guide 👉 https://www.lorilisai.com/workwithlori 📱 Follow Lori on Instagram + Threads Where midlife meets real talk, Human Design, sweetness and sass (when I'm in the mood to share) 👉 @lorilisai 💬 Have a Question?

  • Ep 124: Stop Asking "What's Wrong With Me?" Ask This Question Instead

    Ep 124: Stop Asking "What's Wrong With Me?" Ask This Question Instead
    Jul 27 2026

    Have you caught yourself asking, "What's wrong with me?"

    It's one of the most common questions I hear from women in midlife. We compare ourselves to the woman we were ten or twenty years ago and assume that because we feel different—physically, emotionally, mentally—something must be wrong.

    But what if that's the wrong question?

    In this episode, I invite you to consider a different question. Instead of viewing midlife as a loss, what if it's a renovation? We'll explore why trying to get back to your "old self" may actually be keeping you stuck, and how Human Design can help you understand the woman you're becoming instead of mourning the one you've outgrown.

    Key Takeaways

    • The hidden assumption behind asking, "What's wrong with me?"

    • Why your younger self may not be the version you actually want back.

    • A simple mindset shift that changes how you experience midlife.

    • What your body might be trying to tell you through the changes you're experiencing.

    • How Human Design can reveal where you're forcing life instead of flowing with it.

    • The practical insight you'll gain from understanding your unique energetic blueprint.

    If this episode resonated with you, share it with another woman who's been wondering if something is wrong with her. She may just need a different question.

  • Ep 123: How to Stop the Midlife Self-Pity Party: One Question & One HD Element to Get Unstuck Today

    Ep 123: How to Stop the Midlife Self-Pity Party: One Question & One HD Element to Get Unstuck Today
    Jul 20 2026

    We all have moments when life knocks us flat. Midlife is full of them—career disappointments, relationship struggles, health changes, financial stress, empty nests, and dreams that didn't unfold the way we imagined.

    Feeling your feelings is healthy. It's necessary. (See episode 118)

    But what happens when processing turns into mental loops you can't get out of? When self-compassion slips into self-pity? When being right about your circumstances starts costing you your peace?

    In this episode, I'm exploring the fine line between honoring your emotions and getting stuck in the story. We'll talk about why curiosity is one of the fastest ways back to your power, how Human Design can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom, and why sometimes the most transformative thing you can ask isn't "Why me?" but "What now?"

    If you've been feeling stuck lately, this episode is an invitation to stop reliving the same chapter and start writing the next one.

    Key Takeaways

    • The subtle shift that tells you you've moved from healing into self-pity.

    • Why being "right" about your situation may be keeping you stuck.

    • The simple question that can change your perspective in an instant.

    • How Human Design can help you find your next aligned step.

    • Why your emotions deserve to be honored but not handed the keys to the kingdom.

    • Why we genuinely all need someone to hold up a mirror from time to time.

    • How a Human Design reading can help you see beyond the story you've been telling yourself.

  • Ep 122: What the World Cup Taught Me About Reinventing Yourself After 40: 7 Midlife Lessons

    Ep 122: What the World Cup Taught Me About Reinventing Yourself After 40: 7 Midlife Lessons
    Jul 13 2026

    Are you still playing life the way they've likely been taught? Staying safe, avoiding mistakes, putting everyone else's expectations first, and wondering if your best years are already behind you?

    Watching the World Cup, I realized these incredible athletes weren't just showing us how to win soccer matches—they were modeling the exact mindset shifts that help us navigate reinvention, trust ourselves, and step into the second half of life with confidence. Listen in for 7 surprising lessons from the World Cup that every midlife woman can apply to her own life. Through the lens of Human Design, we'll explore how to stop playing small, trust your inner authority, embrace the wisdom you've earned, and remember that the final whistle hasn't blown on your dreams.

    Whether you're a die-hard soccer fan or have never watched a match, these lessons will challenge the way you think about aging, confidence, and what it really means to live in alignment.

    Key Takeaways

    • Why "playing it safe" may be the very thing keeping you stuck

    • The reason resilience matters more than getting it right

    • What a soccer field can teach you about your unique Human Design

    • When one call or play changes the game

    • The hidden advantage midlife women vastly underestimate

    • How the crowd is your conditioning

    • It's not over til it's over
