Morphology
The verb 'navigate' already encodes 'find, plan, or manage a path through situations', and when combined with 'life' the composite meaning 'manage or deal with one's life/challenges' is directly derivable. Although metaphorical, this is a conventional, compositional use that a B1 learner who knows both words is likely to understand.
Etymology
Navigate life comes from the image of steering a ship: to navigate is to find a safe way through water, avoiding rocks and storms. That's why navigate life means 'to deal with the difficulties and choices of everyday life'.
