You’ve spent years being the rock, the giver, the caretaker — the one who keeps it all together. But what happens when the woman holding everyone else up starts to crumble inside?

In this raw and liberating episode, Kena calls out the toxic myths that have kept midlife women small.

Through laughter, truth, and a few well-placed “fuck thats,” she flips the script: self-care isn’t indulgence — it’s sacred rebellion. You’ll learn how to fill your own cup first, release resentment, and reconnect to your soul’s whispers of peace, pleasure, and expansion.

By the end, you’ll remember what it feels like to give from overflow, not depletion. Because when you choose you first, life starts flowing with more ease, joy, and freedom.

In This Episode You’ll Learn

  • The 5 myths that keep midlife women stuck in self-sacrifice
  • Why choosing yourself first is an act of love, not selfishness
  • How resentment fades when you give from a full cup
  • The truth about slowing down and letting life support you
  • A soulful practice to reconnect with your heart and soul

🦋 Reflection Questions

  1. Where have I been abandoning myself in the name of being “good”?
  2. What would shift if I believed that my needs are sacred, not selfish?
  3. How can I fill my own cup today — even in one small, loving way?
