    From Why Me to Meant For Me - A 50th Birthday Reflection

    “I no longer feel like I overcame my life. I know now that I was meant to live it exactly as it unfolded.” - Kena In this deeply personal episode, recorded just before my 50th birthday, I reflect on five decades of living, loving, losing, and becoming. From losing my father at 20 to navigating grief, reinvention, motherhood, and starting again, this is an invitation to look at your own journey with new eyes. For many years, I carried the identity of survivor. As I step into my fifties, something has shifted. I no longer feel like I overcame my life. I know now that I was meant to live it exactly as it unfolded. In this conversation, I share what I’m releasing and what I’m claiming in this next decade - trusting my intuition, using my voice more fully, letting go of people-pleasing, and stepping into a season of creating, leading, and thriving. Your story matters - not just for you, but for every woman who needs to see what’s possible.

    “Why are we so quick to question our own authority - and so willing to hand it to others?” In this episode, Kena reflects on what it means to stay in relationship with life when things feel heavy - personally and collectively. She explores how we navigate uncertainty without falling into despair, and why choosing possibility is one of the most powerful acts we can make. She revisits key mindset shifts for women in midlife, especially during challenging seasons: Moving from “hard as the default” into curiosity and possibilityMaking commitments instead of chasing goalsPlaying the long gameTrusting body wisdom over conditioned thinkingRemembering that everything feels heavier when we do it alone The episode closes with a powerful passage from Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money and Living a Committed Life - a reminder that humanity rises when heart-centered feminine values like compassion, empathy, humility, and love are fully expressed.
