#9 - Not Giving a Fuck: Breaking Free from Societal Expectations

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How societal conditioning keeps women stuck in outdated expectations.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:

Where in your life are you still following societal expectations that don’t align with your truth?
What would not giving a fck* look like for you if it meant choosing yourself fully?
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. 💫

#11 - You Were Never Broken: Embracing All Versions of You

What if every past version of you wasn’t something to fix, but a love letter guiding you home to yourself?

In this episode of Midlife Butterfly, we dive deep into the illusion of brokenness and the truth of our wholeness. Midlife often brings a reckoning—old wounds, past identities, and beliefs resurface, making us feel fragmented. But here’s the truth: you have always been whole.

Key Points:

How society conditions us to believe we are broken—and why it’s a lie.
Shifting from a mindset of separation to one of oneness and self-acceptance.
The powerful reflection on past versions of yourself, inspired by Branden Collinsworth’s soul-stirring piece, Versions of Me. @BrandenCollinsworth
Learning to listen, honor, and integrate all parts of yourself—the dreamer, the healer, the one who struggled, the one who loved, the one who lost.
Why embracing every past version of you leads to deep self-love, healing, and empowerment.
A simple yet transformative practice to step into your wholeness and reconnect with your authentic self.

Your journey is not about fixing yourself—it’s about embracing yourself fully.

Reflection Questions:

What past version of you is asking to be seen, heard, and honored today?
How can you offer love and gratitude to the parts of yourself you’ve outgrown?
What shifts in your life when you accept that you have always been whole?

If you’re ready to integrate all parts of yourself and step into your full power, book a free Empowerment Session with me: http://www.wellbeingproject.ca/empowersession. Let’s reclaim your joy, worth, and self-love together!
