#7 - Shift Your Perception, Heal Yourself

In this transformative solo episode of Midlife Butterfly, Kena explores how shifting your perception can unlock healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. Through insightful stories and practical examples, she invites you to see life through a new, liberating lens.

Key Points:

Perception vs. Perspective: Perception is raw sensory data; perspective is the mental filter shaped by experiences and beliefs.
The Power of One Question: According to whom? Challenge old beliefs that may no longer serve you.
Perception Shifts for Midlife:
- Aging: From "I'm too old" to "I'm in the most powerful chapter of my life."
- Divorce: From "I failed" to "This was a rediscovery turning point."
- Post-Parenting: From "I’m lost" to "I’m free to explore myself again."
Healing & Liberation: A small shift in perception can dissolve old wounds and foster acceptance of differing viewpoints.

Reflection Questions:

What belief might you be carrying that isn't truly yours?
What story am I telling myself about this situation—and how can I rewrite it to serve my growth?
If I could see this challenge through the eyes of my wisest, most loving self, what would I understand?
Where in your life can you practice more acceptance and compassion?

#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How societal conditioning keeps women stuck in outdated expectations.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. 💫
