Midlife Butterfly: Healing, Empowerment & Self-Discovery

In this empowering solo episode of Midlife Butterfly, Kena dives into the sneaky ways a lack of self-worth might be running your life without you even noticing. From people-pleasing to shrinking yourself in rooms, this is a loving wake-up call to midlife women who are ready to reclaim their joy, rewrite old programs, and live unapologetically aligned. Kena shares 3 practical mindset shifts you can start using right now to begin healing the unworthiness wound and coming back home to your truth.

Whether you're navigating divorce, life transitions, or simply awakening to your deeper self, this episode is for you.

🦋 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What self-worth really is (spoiler alert: it's not self-esteem)
• Subtle signs you may be operating from low self-worth
• How your childhood, culture, and conditioning shaped your “good girl” programming
• Why your people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-apologizing are survival responses—not your truth
• Three simple but powerful shifts to start reclaiming your self-worth today:
• A reminder that you are already worthy, simply because you exist
• An invitation to go deeper with Kena’s self-paced mini-coaching session: How to Stop Feeling Not Good Enough and Reclaim Your Worth.

🔮 Reflection Questions:

• Where in your life are you still seeking external validation to feel worthy?
• What’s one small boundary you can set today that honors your truth?
• If you fully believed you were worthy—right now—what would you say yes or no to?

I created a mini-coaching session called "How to Stop Feeling Not Good Enough and Reclaim your Worth." It's a bite-sized coaching experience you can complete in about 45 minutes at your own pace to help break free from this cycle and embody your worthiness. Check it out here!

What If Grief Is the Catalyst for Reinvention?

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with the incredible Angelina Lisowski, a single mom of seven and host of Her Positive Legacy podcast. After the sudden passing of her husband, Angelina embarked on a journey of grief, transformation, and self-reclamation. We talk about loss, reinvention, and the power of stepping into a new version of yourself.

Inside This Episode:

• How grief can be an initiation rather than an ending
• The turning point that led Angelina to reclaim her joy and worth
• Meditation as a tool for healing, clarity, and self-empowerment
• The importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and listening to your inner voice
• Shifting from survival mode to fully living again
• The role of affirmations, movement, and holistic self-care in the healing process
• Letting go of old identities and embracing the woman you’re becoming
• Finding love again and stepping into relationships from a place of wholeness

🎧 Tune in and be reminded: You are allowed to start over. You are allowed to live fully. You are allowed to be happy!

Reflection Questions for You:

1. In what ways have life’s challenges been invitations for you to reinvent yourself?
2. What self-care practices help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level?
3. If you knew tomorrow wasn’t promised, what would you start prioritizing today?

In this fiery and liberating episode, we are diving deep into what it truly means to not give a f*ck—not from a place of apathy, but from radical self-love and authenticity.

We’re calling out societal expectations, those spoken and unspoken rules that dictate how women should live, love, and show up in the world. It’s time to ditch the guilt, reclaim our power, and start living a life that is truly ours.

Joining me today are two incredible women, Celeste DiDona and Bey Carolina, who have boldly broken the rules, rewritten their own stories, and stepped into a life of freedom, authenticity, and joy.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• Redefining not giving a f*ck—it’s not about indifference, it’s about caring deeply for yourself.
• How societal conditioning keeps women stuck in outdated expectations.
• The journey of deconditioning—questioning beliefs, breaking free from the shoulds, and stepping into alignment.
• The power of self-trust and allowing intuition to guide your decisions.
• How perfectionism and people-pleasing keep us small—and how to break free.
• Embracing both light and shadow—true self-love is unconditional.
• Why following your own truth attracts the right people and opportunities.
• Practical rituals for connecting with your intuition, from meditation to somatic practices.

Reflection Questions for You:

1. Where in your life are you still following societal expectations that don’t align with your truth?
2. What would not giving a fck* look like for you if it meant choosing yourself fully?
3. How can you create daily moments of self-connection to tune into your soul’s voice?

It’s time to stop shrinking yourself to fit into a mold that was never meant for you. You are here to shine. 💫

In this solo episode, I’m sharing raw, real, and radiant reflections from the heart of a woman who’s living and breathing the sacred transitions of midlife. From my return to Montreal to the full rebranding of my blissness from The Wellbeing Project to Midlife Butterfly, this episode is a juicy blend of storytelling, lessons, and soulful reminders that you are not alone in your unraveling or your rising.

Whether you're in a cocooning season, dissolving an old identity, or just starting to spread your wings again — this one's for you, beautiful.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

• Why I rebranded my entire blissness (biz) to Midlife Butterfly (and the divine click that led to it).
• The lesson I learned the hard way from ignoring my intuition at 3 a.m.
• How technical breakdowns turned into divine reconnections (yes, guac and wine included!).
• Why transitions feel extra wild during midlife — and how to ride the rollercoaster with grace.
• What it means to be in the cocooning, dissolving, emerging, or flying phase of your own life.
• A powerful reminder: emotions are neutral, and they're here to guide you.
• My client’s incredible transformation after six months of deep soul work.
• How to stop resisting what’s falling away and start trusting what’s being born.
• The deeper meaning of midlife as a series of sacred deaths and rebirths.
• How to build the strength to spread your wings — again and again.

This episode is a love note for the woman who’s navigating loss, change, and growth all at once — and knows deep down, she’s meant to rise from it all. You are the butterfly, my love.

Reflection Questions for You:

1. Which butterfly phase are you currently in — cocooning, dissolving, emerging, or flying?
2. Where in your life are you being called to listen to your inner voice more deeply?
3. What would it look like to trust your emotions as sacred messengers rather than problems to fix?
