About the Show
For many women, midlife is a time where one begins to finally slow down long enough to question life’s purpose and more. For others, midlife brings profound physical and emotional changes that can leave one feeling “stuck in the mud.” Our cohosts Kat Tansey & Nancy Marriott believe midlife is a magical time, a time to use one’s accumulated wisdom to achieve new levels of inner peace and happiness. Every week, listen to insightful interviews of leading authors and coaches, as well as of women experiencing success in their careers, relationships, and health. Kat and Nancy will also devote time on each show to answering listeners’ questions on how to find the magic in midlife. Live every Thursday at 6PM EST, or listen to the archived shows at your convenience.

About Kat Tansey & Nancy Marriott

Magic of Midlife cohosts Kat Tansey and Nancy Marriott are published authors and recognized experts in supporting women to live powerful and fulfilling lives at midlife. Friends for over a decade, Kat and Nancy’s commitment is supported by their own accumulated wisdom as midlife women who “walk their talk.” Bringing over thirty years of combined professional experience to their practice, Kat and Nancy have guided thousands in living creative and fulfilling lives.
Kat Tansey launched her corporate and consulting career in the 1970s, eventually training thousands of people and consulting with over 50 corporations to help them meet the challenges of change. After twenty years of helping people and organizations change, Kat co-authored Winning the Change Game and became Vice President of an outplacement consulting firm that provided coaching for employees affected by organizational change. She effectively coached people through their often difficult transitions of dealing with loss, anger and uncertainty to emerge with confidence and enthusiasm about new and exciting directions in their lives and careers.
Kat faced her own challenge to change when she developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and learned the hard way how to shift from fast-paced Doing to peaceful Being. Her book, Choosing to Be: Lessons in Living from a Feline Zen Master, is the story of how she found her way back to a different kind of active life.
As a result of her years of experience in helping scores of individuals cope with transitions, as well as triumphing in her own life, Kat was recently chosen as the Exceptional Wisdom Scholar on Personal Change.
Nancy Marriott is the owner of a book editing and coaching business, New Paradigm Services, and has helped authors write and publish books that make a difference. Her own book, co-authored with Dr. Candace Pert, Everything you Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d, published by Hay House in 2006, became a best-seller, positioning Nancy as a mind-body expert in emotions, relationships, and health.
Trained as coach and seminar leader at Landmark Education and as a consultant and educator at Columbia University where she received a Masters Degree, Nancy has led seminars and worked one-on-one with thousands through corporations and colleges. Her expertise centers on personal and professional empowerment and leadership, including business, parenting, health, and women’s issues. A mother and grandmother, Nancy lives with her husband of 22 years, Richard, in Santa Barbara, CA.
