Midlife Butterfly: Stop Self-Abandoning & People Pleasing by Healing Your Nervous System — Feel Alive Again
Midlife Butterfly is a podcast for high-achieving midlife women who are tired of abandoning themselves just to hold everything else together. Hosted by Kena Siu, Identity & Embodiment Guide, this podcast explores emotional truth, nervous system healing, self-remembrance, feminine aliveness, and what it really means to come home to yourself after years of over-functioning, caregiving, people-pleasing, and survival mode.
If you've been feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by everyone else's needs, or unsure who you are beyond your roles and responsibilities — you are not alone.
Each episode meets you where you are — in the exhaustion, the confusion, the quiet longing — and gently guides you back to yourself through nervous system awareness, embodied reflection, and deeply honest conversation.
This is a space for women navigating midlife awakening, emotional burnout, identity shifts, relationship patterns, self-worth, feminine healing, and the quiet longing to finally feel alive again.
You don't need to become someone new. You just need to remember who you truly are.

MBP #82 - Leading From Pleasure: The Nervous System Shift To Stop Creating From Pressure
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you creating from devotion, or are you creating from need?
One question from my mentor cracked me wide open on a walk by the canal — and it's reshaping how I show up for my launch, my clients, and myself. 🦋 In this episode I'm sharing the real, unedited moment that shifted my relationship with money, service, and pleasure — and how Neuro-Epigenetic Breathing made the shift possible.
🦋 You'll Discover:
- The one question my mentor Sajeeva asked that struck me and reminded me, my relationship with money, service, and worth.
- Why the neediness of "I have to pay my bills" quietly hijacks your energy — even when the work itself is sacred.
- How Neuro-Epigenetic Breathing rewires your nervous system so you create and lead from pleasure instead of pressure.
✨ Coming Home Question:
In your work, your relationships, your daily life — are you giving from devotion, or are you giving from neediness? And what would change if you let yourself find out?
Press play, beauty — this one's coming straight from my heart, mid-walk, no script, no polish. Just truth.
💜 Join Leading from Pleasure
Can you imagine what it would be like if the next level of your leadership came from pleasure and your life force?
This is a 5-week nervous system experience for coaches ready to lead with more magnetism, more ease, and more presence. And it's based in Neuro-Epigenetic Breathing (NEB), which works through three currents at once — sexual energy, biology, and spirituality — moving as one intelligence through the body.
