When life feels loud, heavy, or uncertain, gratitude becomes the doorway back to yourself — not as a cliché, but as an embodied practice that shifts your entire day.

In this heartfelt episode, Kena joins her pod sisters for an intimate conversation on what gratitude really looks like for a woman in midlife navigating change. You’ll hear stories, laughter, and practical rituals — from body scans to micro-moments, from “observe, don’t absorb” to choosing the energy you bring into the world.

This isn’t the performative gratitude you’ve been taught. It’s the kind that reconnects you with your body, regulates your energy, and anchors you into who you really are.

Whether you’re reinventing yourself, healing old patterns, moving through grief, or entering a new season, this episode will remind you that your daily practice — tiny, intentional, embodied — is what creates alignment, inner peace, and self-trust.

By the end, you’ll feel grounded, centered, and empowered to shape your day with presence and possibility.
