<p>“Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s an awakening. It’s your soul calling you home.” — <em>Kena Siu</em></p><p>This week on <em>Beyond the Margins</em>, I sat down with empowerment guide <strong>Kena Siu</strong>, whose work helps women reconnect to the wholeness that’s always been theirs—body, mind, heart, and sensual self.</p><p>Kena believes that joy, pleasure, and presence are sacred tools for healing. Through her <em>Midlife Butterfly</em> community, she’s created a space where women can safely explore who they truly are—beneath the roles, routines, and expectations that once defined them.</p><p>We talked about her path from yoga and mindfulness to spiritual coaching, her powerful insights on radical self-love, and her belief that midlife is not an ending but a beginning:</p><p>“We’ve been told midlife is about decline, but really, it’s a return to play. To pleasure. To home.”</p><p>Kena’s story is one of courage and curiosity—of rediscovering the power of embodiment and building sisterhood that heals. Her upcoming <em>Reset Retreat</em> in Montreal is the latest expression of that vision: four days of nature, community, and soulful reconnection.</p><p>If you’ve ever felt the tug to reinvent yourself—to remember the version of you that danced, laughed, and lived from her heart—this episode is your reminder: you are already whole. This story will bein the upcoming anthology <em>Mended With Gold.</em></p><p> Listen now on <em>Beyond the Margins</em> wherever you get your podcasts.
