  • #81 - From Self-Abandonment to Living in Pleasure: A Midlife Woman's Return to Her Body

    You've spent years leading from the doing, the controlling, the checklist — and you're exhausted.

    Kena shares her own journey out of self-abandonment and people pleasing, into a life guided by her cycle, her body, and pleasure itself — and why pleasure isn't indulgence, it's the way home.

    🦋 You'll Discover:

    • Why living in your masculine was survival, and what it's quietly been costing you
    • How reconnecting to your own cycle guides you back into your body
    • Why pleasure is proof you're home in your body, and how to find it in the most ordinary moments

  • #80 - Reclaim Your Worth: Ending Self-Abandonment to Remember Your Midlife Identity

    Where in your life are you still living from the neck up — and what happens if you let your body answer instead?

    In this episode I sat down with Kamesha and Denise over at Wisdom in Bloom, and we went deep on what it actually costs to reclaim your worth and end self-abandonment — the friendships that fall away, the body's quiet warnings, the grief nobody tells you to make room for.

    🦋 You'll Discover:

    • Why unlearning can be more powerful than learning
    • Releasing limiting beliefs and outdated expectations
    • Letting go of who you thought you had to be
    • Embracing transformation and personal freedom in midlife

    ✨ Coming Home Question: 

    Where in your life are you still living from the neck up — and what happens if you let your body answer instead?

  • #79 - Stop Attracting Toxic Relationships: Healing Self-Abandonment & Your Nervous System

    Ever wonder why the same kind of person keeps showing up in your life — just wearing a different face?

    In this episode, we’re unpacking why “toxic relationships” might not be about anyone being toxic at all — and what your triggers, patterns, and hardest goodbyes are really trying to show you.


    🦋 You’ll Discover:

    • Why the relationships you call “toxic” might actually be self-abandonment wearing a really convincing disguise.
    • Why it’s your nervous system and not bad luck, that keeps attracting the same pattern in a different body.
    • How to reclaim yourself — not by fixing anyone, but by finally listening to what your body has been trying to tell you.

    ✨ Coming Home Question:

    If every relationship in your life right now is a mirror… what is it reflecting back to you that you haven’t been willing to see?

  • #78 - The Cause Of “Feeling Broken” Is Self-Abandonment. Reclaim Your Wholeness In Midlife

     How many parts of yourself have you left behind just to be liked?

    In this episode, we explore why you're not broken — you're fragmented — and how calling those rejected parts of yourself back to the table is the real path to feeling whole again.

    🦋 You'll Discover:

    • What being fragmented instead of broken actually means — and why the parts of you you left behind still matter.
    • How what looks like a midlife crisis is actually an awakening — and what's really driving it.
    • Why it's your nervous system, not your mindset, keeping the same patterns of self-betrayal alive.

    ✨ Coming Home Question:

    Which part of yourself are you ready to call back to the table?

  • #77 - The Real Reason Midlife Women Struggle to Love Themselves (It's Self-Abandonment, Not Self-Esteem)

    Have you ever wondered why you're supposed to suffer for love?

    What if the love you keep looking for outside yourself was your responsibility all along?

    In this episode, we explore why suffering for love is a program — not a requirement — and why learning to love every part of you, including the parts you've hidden away, is the most unselfish thing you'll ever do.


    🦋 You'll Discover:

    • What suffering for love is actually costing you — and why pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
    • How self-love is not something to outsource, but has been your responsibility since the moment you were born.
    • Why the parts of you that you've hidden are the ones that can help you learn to love yourself.


    ✨ Coming Home Question:

    Which part of you have you been waiting for someone else to love first?
