#68 - How Your Nervous System Armours Your Body for Protection. And How to Heal It

from Midlife Butterfly | Coming Home to Yourself: Presence, Embodiment, Self-Love, Life Coherence & Transformation · host Kena Siu

What if the reason you can't seem to change isn't a lack of knowledge — but  the body protecting itself because it hasn't been part of the conversation yet? This is the episode for the woman who has done everything right — the courses, the therapy, the journaling — and still feels like something is missing. In Part 1 of A Doorway to Home, Kena introduces neuroepigenetic breathing and explores the three centers where women hold the most armor: the mind, the heart, and the pelvic floor. Honest, grounded, and deeply human — this is embodiment, not as a concept, but as a coming home. 🦋 You'll Discover:How your identity was built — and why you might feel disconnected from your body even when you know so much. Why the heart closes to protect itself — and what it's quietly costing you in love, pleasure, and receiving.What the tension in your pelvic floor is holding — and why your body heals through feeling, not thinking. 💜 Coming Home Question:Where have you been keeping your heart closed to protect yourself?🥁 The Leading From Pleasure 5-Week Journey, it's open for enrolment.
