#51 - Healing Shame in Midlife: Conversations & Practices with Five High-Achieving Women

Shame doesn’t always scream. Sometimes it lives quietly in your body — in the moments you dim yourself, stay silent, or question your worth.In this rich panel conversation hosted by pod sister Dana Hunter Fradella, Kena joins four extraordinary women to do what shame hates most: speak the truth. Together they share personal stories of how shame took root early — in their bodies, their careers, their sexuality, their spirituality — and what began to shift the moment they brought it into the light.This isn’t a clinical conversation about shame. It’s five women getting real about the whispers that shaped them — and the practices, the community, and the radical self-knowing that helped them begin to set it down. 🦋 You’ll Discover:Why shame is not who you are — and the one distinction that changes everything about how you carry it.What five women discovered when they finally spoke their shame out loud — and what immediately began to shift.The practices that actually work to release shame from the body — and why community may be the most powerful one of all. ✨ Coming Home Question:Where is shame still whispering in your life — and what would you do, say, or become if you finally stopped listening to it?🔗  Connect with my Pod Sisters:Casey TatonInstagram: @catatonPodcast: Inner SparkDana Hunter FradellaInstagram: @girls.who.recoverPodcast: Girls Who RecoverJennifer ChambersWebsite: www.jennifer-chambers.comInstagram: @jennifer_chambers_ Tracy HillInstagram: @abeautifulfixPodcast: A Beautiful Fix💜 I created Coming HOME for the woman who has done everything right and still feels something is missing.
