#62 - Remembering Who You Are & The Truth About Emotions

Have you ever caught yourself in the middle of an old pattern — reactive, shrinking, or going silent — and thought, I thought I’d worked through this? What if the frustration isn’t a sign you’re failing — but proof that something in you is finally awake enough to notice? In this first part of a rich two-part conversation, Kena and Kimber Hardick explore what it really means to come home to yourself in midlife — not through reinvention, but through remembrance. They dig into emotional awareness, the trap of feeding our stories instead of feeling them, and a grounding practice called Wait, What, Watch that can change the way you move through your days. 🦋 You’ll Discover:Why midlife isn’t a crisis or a reinvention — it’s an invitation to remember who you’ve always been beneath the roles, the shoulds, and the conditioning.How you’ve likely been feeding the story around your emotions instead of actually feeling them — and why that one shift changes everything.What the Wait, What, Watch practice is — and how this deceptively simple tool can help you pause, return to yourself, and respond from truth instead of autopilot. 💜 Coming Home Question:Where have you been feeding a story instead of feeling what’s underneath it — and what might become available to you if you simply let yourself feel it?✨ Where to Find KimberWebsite: KimberHardick.comBook: An Invitation to Shine: From Invisible to Invincible on Amazon and Amazon listing pageInstagram: @kimberlivinglifeFacebook: Kimberly Ogle HardickYouTube: Kimber HardickThreads: @kimberlivinglifeThe Interactive Emotion Wheel: https://gamma.app/docs/The-Interactive-Emotion-Wheel-ctc97ztnzaembwo🥁 The Leading From Pleasure 5-Week Journey, it's open for enrolment.
