About this listen

 New Muse Rising is a podcast about reinvention, creativity, and the quiet awakening that happens when lived experience turns into wisdom. This is a space for thoughtful conversations about midlife, identity, purpose, and becoming—without the noise of hustle culture or the fear-based narrative of “starting over.” Each episode invites reflection on what it means to listen more closely to yourself, reclaim your creative voice, and step into your next chapter with intention. Through personal insights, meaningful conversations, and moments of honest exploration, New Muse Rising reframes transition as an ascent—not a crisis, but a rising. If you’re navigating change, rediscovering your creativity, or sensing that something new is emerging within you, this podcast is for you.

    What happens when you reach midlife and realise you don’t have a clear plan — just a quiet feeling that something needs to change?

    In this deeply personal episode of New Muse Rising, Chris, a 56-year-old from the UK, reflects on the realities of midlife: the weight of societal expectations, the quiet loss of who we thought we’d be by now, and the unexpected clarity that arrives when we finally slow down and listen to ourselves.

    This episode is as much a conversation with the listener as it is a conversation Chris is having with himself — unpacking what it means to live a life shaped by “shoulds,” success markers, and comparison, and how midlife can become an invitation to evolve rather than retreat.

    Through honest reflection, gentle humour, and moments of vulnerability, Midlife Evolution explores uncertainty, reinvention, self-compassion, and the courage it takes to admit you don’t have all the answers — and don’t need to.

    If you’ve ever felt behind, lost, or quietly questioning what comes next, this episode is a reminder that you’re not broken — you’re evolving.
