You did everything “right”… so why does your life feel tight, heavy, or misaligned?

In this deeply honest conversation, Kena sits with Karolina Bey Autumn to explore what happens when the good-girl identity cracks and a truer self begins to emerge. From following society’s checklist to questioning marriage, money, success, and even her own name, Karolina shares how midlife became the doorway to spiritual awakening, self-trust, and radical reinvention.

This episode weaves grief, divorce, embodiment, sound healing, and identity shifts into a powerful reminder: your soul has been whispering all along and midlife is when you finally listen. 

Together, Kena and Karolina speak about nervous system healing, the power of language, releasing external validation, and why freedom often requires letting life fall apart first.

If you’re navigating midlife transitions, questioning who you’ve been, or craving deeper alignment, this episode will feel like a mirror and an invitation.

By the end, you’ll remember this: you are not here to follow a script, you are here to live, choose, and trust yourself again.
