Let’s get real. Midlife isn’t just about wrinkles or hot flashes. It’s about the armours we’ve built over decades of survival. The walls we wear to protect ourselves from hurt also keep out love, support, abundance, and joy. In this episode, I open up about the armors I discovered in myself—emotional, energetic, and even spiritual—and how they’ve shaped my relationships, my ability to receive, and my freedom.

If you’ve ever caught yourself over-giving, hiding your true desires, or priding yourself on being “strong and independent” while secretly craving to be held and supported, this one’s for you. It’s time to loosen the straps, my love, and let yourself feel safe, soft, and powerful at the same time.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• The hidden ways your armour blocks love, opportunities, and abundance.
• How journaling cracked open a deep wound I didn’t know was still alive.
• The armours women wear most often.
• Why true safety comes from within, not from walls.
• A gentle invitation to replace protection with presence, and discover your worthiness to receive.

🦋 Soulful Reflection Questions

1. What kind of armour am I currently wearing, and what am I trying to protect myself from?
2. Where in my life do I say I’m open, but my heart is still guarded?
3. If I loosened just one strap of my armor today, what might shift in how I receive love, joy, or abundance?
