Ever felt like life cracked you open just to remind you who you truly are?

In this heartfelt episode, Kena sits down with Casey Taton, a woman whose story of illness, surrender, and rebirth will awaken your own inner strength. Once a healthcare worker suddenly on the other side of the hospital bed, Casey faced years of uncertainty, pain, and misdiagnosis — yet what emerged was a radiant story of resilience, service, and love.

Through her foundation Little Moments, Big Dreams Celebrations, Casey now brings light and laughter to children in hospitals, reminding us that joy can exist even in the hardest places. Together, she and Kena explore the art of receiving help, slowing down, trusting divine timing, and letting love move through you.

By the end, you’ll feel inspired to see your own challenges as sacred teachers — guiding you back to presence, connection, and your spark of resilience.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

  • How pain can become your path to purpose and deeper love.
  • Why learning to receive support is part of healing and abundance.
  • What happens when you slow down and trust divine timing.
  • The truth about resilience — it’s not about strength, it’s about surrender.
  • How community and sisterhood awaken joy even in the midst of struggle.

🦋 Reflection Questions

  1. Where in your life are you being asked to receive instead of do?
  2. What if your greatest challenge is actually an invitation to deepen your connection with yourself?
  3. How might your story inspire others when you begin to share it from love instead of fear?

If Casey’s story sparked something in your heart, share this episode with a woman who’s in her own healing or reinvention season.
