Hicunni (aka Coach Keenie) opens up about what really happens when homeschooling ends, not the cute “empty nest” version, but the quiet identity free-fall no one talks about. After 15 years of building life around lesson plans, lunches, and learning rhythms… what happens when the kids graduate, the schedule disappears, and you’re left asking:
“Who am I now, and what do I even want anymore?”
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
This one is especially for the women who didn’t leave a job; they left a whole identity. You’re not broken. You’re in transition. And you don’t have to “start over”… just start after.

Welcome to How To Be Fit Over 40: Midlife Conversations with Hicunni. It’s Week 16!
Many people drift through midlife without clarity or intention, forgetting who they are and what they want. But what if writing could be used as a tool to lock in your vision, direction, and identity? Let’s talk about it.
Grab your smoothie or cup of tea and join the conversation. Let’s go!
You can pick up a cute journal from your local retail store or purchase a copy of The Body Love Mindset: A 365-Day Meditation Journal. There are journal prompts on each page.
These prompts can be used to jump-start your creative writing/dream writing and also used as a start for your daily meditation.
This journal helps you release self-doubt and fosters the habit of believing in the life you’re creating. You can grab your copy at my new store, https://howtobefitover40.com/pages/resources

Welcome back to How To Be Fit Over 40: Midlife Conversations with Hicunni.
Over the last couple of weeks, we've talked about dreaming big and even shared affirmations to keep those dreams alive. But here’s the thing: just saying affirmations doesn’t change your life.
You repeat those affirmations, but the words don’t always feel real. In this episode, we’re going to solve that problem by making your dreams believable. I’ll show you how to move beyond empty affirmations and use your five senses to create a vision you can actually feel, so you can start living as the person you want to be, right now.
Grab your smoothie or cup of tea and join the conversation. Let’s go!
P.S, Make sure you listen until the end, there's a 5 Senses Visualization included.
Scarcity loops don’t break by accident. They shift when you practice seeing, feeling, and believing in the abundance you’re creating. Start today. Bye for now.

Welcome to How To Be Fit Over 40: Midlife Conversations with Hicunni. It’s Week 10 of our 180-Day Challenge. We’ve been focusing on financial wellness through a holistic lens. Last week, we explored how trauma can shape the way we manage money. But healing isn’t just internal. It’s relational.

So, grab your smoothie or cup of tea and join the conversation. Let’s go!

Episode 291: You're Not Bad With Money, You’re Healing
Welcome to How To Be Fit Over 40: Midlife Conversations with Hicunni. It’s Week 9 of our 180-Day Challenge. Today’s topic is something many people feel in their bodies long before they ever learn the words for it: Financial Trauma.

Let’s talk about that. Grab your smoothie or cup of tea and join the conversation. Let’s go!
