#7 - The One Mindset Shift to See Freedom in Every Experience

Kena Siu Episode 7

What if the only thing standing between your pain and your peace is how you see it?

In this heartfelt solo episode, Kena opens up about letting go of perfection, embracing her “B-student era,” and the profound power of shifting perception as a healing tool. Through personal stories and soulful examples — from family patterns to divorce, aging, and self-judgment — she reminds us that transformation often begins with a single question: According to whom?

You’ll learn how perception shapes your identity, why perspective can free you from control and comparison, and how changing the lens through which you see your life creates instant liberation. By the end, you’ll feel inspired to trust your truth, soften your inner critic, and see yourself and others through compassion instead of conditioning.


In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How to release perfectionism and find joy in showing up imperfectly
  • Why perception and perspective are the keys to inner healing
  • What happens when you ask, “According to whom?”
  • How to reframe failure, aging, and endings into empowerment
  • The truth about freedom that comes when you stop needing to be right


🦋 Reflection Questions:

  1. What areas of your life feel heavy because of someone else’s perception?
  2. What would shift if you saw your story through a more compassionate lens?
  3. How can you give yourself permission to be a “B student” and still feel proud?


If this episode spoke to your heart, share it with a sister who’s ready to see life differently.
