Happy Anniversary 🤍

9 years married.
And another year of choosing each other. ♾️

The last few years have asked a lot of us.

Surgeries. Recovery. Hormonal change. Uncertainty. Some really difficult moments — and a lot of rebuilding.

You’ve been beside me through all of it.

Through the fear, the decisions, the hospital rooms, the healing… and slowly finding my way back to myself again.

And somewhere amongst all of that, we’ve continued to live. To have adventures. To laugh. To make memories. To build this life together.

Marriage isn’t only the beautiful moments we capture. It’s who is still standing beside you when life looks nothing like you expected it to.

And I’m incredibly grateful that it’s you. 🤍

Happy anniversary, my love.
Here’s to everything still ahead of us. ♾️

Community Voices • Special Edition • October 2026
Breast Cancer Awareness Month

“Surviving breast cancer and being fully supported in the years afterward are not the same thing.”

Meet Jill Chmielewski 🤍 Jill Chmielewski

This October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Community Voices is making space for a conversation that too often sits at the edges of breast cancer care: what happens to a woman’s health, hormones and quality of life during — and long after — treatment?

Jill is a nurse with more than 30 years’ experience, much of that time working in women’s health. Through her perspective, she reflects on the wider impact of breast cancer and its treatment — from hormones, brain and bone health to metabolism, sexual health, relationships and sense of self.

She also asks us to consider something important: survival and being supported to live well are not the same thing.

In this special edition, Jill shares what she wishes she had understood sooner, why she believes the breast cancer conversation needs to become more individualised and whole-person, and why menopause and hormone health deserve a meaningful place within that conversation.

Her words also speak powerfully to agency — having access to information, understanding benefits and risks, asking questions, seeking another opinion and being supported to participate in decisions about your own body.

At KŌNENKI, this conversation matters deeply.

Breast cancer awareness cannot end with awareness of the disease itself. We also need space to talk about the women living through treatment, treatment-induced menopause, surgical menopause and the physical, emotional and psychological changes that can continue for years afterwards.

Women deserve more than survival. They deserve to understand and be prepared for the changes that may follow — and to be supported to live well beyond diagnosis.

Thank you, Jill, for lending your experience, professional perspective and voice to this very special edition of Community Voices. 🤍

If Jill’s words could help another woman, please save or share this post.

What if slowing down gave you more?

More space to notice.
More awareness of what your body is communicating.
More opportunity for tension to soften and release.

Somatic Yin combines the depth and stillness of Yin with somatic exploration — bringing attention to the felt sense of the body, conscious breathing and gentle, intuitive movement.

It’s less about how a pose looks and more about how it feels.

A practice to slow down, reconnect and create space for more calm, clarity and energy.

Come experience it for yourself.

Sometimes hormonal change doesn’t look the way we expect it to.

It might be disrupted sleep.
A change in energy.
Difficulty concentrating or changes in memory.
Feeling more anxious, overwhelmed or less able to cope with stress.

Experiences that can be easy to dismiss, explain away — or simply not connect with hormonal change at all.

But hormonal change can affect far more than your cycle.

PREPARED. starts with understanding.

Understanding what may be changing.
Recognising what you’re experiencing.
Considering the wider context.
And knowing how you can begin to support yourself.

Because when we understand what may be happening, we’re better equipped to respond.

Preparation starts with understanding.

And understanding is only one part of the experience.

PREPARED. brings together education, nervous system regulation, breathwork, Somatic Yin and sound — creating space to learn, experience and connect.

Perimenopause can begin earlier than many women realise — and it can affect far more than your cycle.

Changes in sleep, mood, energy, concentration or the way you respond to stress can all be part of the picture. Yet without that awareness, it can be difficult to connect what you’re experiencing with hormonal change.

This is why earlier education matters.

Not so we can predict exactly what our experience will be — but so we can recognise changes, ask more informed questions, seek the right support and feel better prepared for the transition.

Women shouldn’t have to learn about perimenopause while they’re already struggling to adjust to it.

More informed. More supported. Better prepared.

Save this for later — or share it with a woman who needs to know this sooner. 🤍

It can begin earlier than many women realise.

The signs aren’t always the ones we’ve been taught to expect.

You can’t recognise what you don’t know.

This is why awareness and early education matters.

Understanding gives us more choice in how we respond.

More informed.
More supported.
Better prepared. 🤍

What if we prepared women for hormonal change before they were struggling to understand it?

Too many women reach perimenopause and menopause without understanding what may be changing — or having the practical tools and support to navigate it.

PREPARED was created from a belief that we can do this differently.

Through greater understanding, nervous system regulation, restorative practice and meaningful connection.

Whether you’re curious about what’s ahead, entering or already navigating hormonal change — preparation changes the experience.

Come as you are. Leave prepared.

This is 46. 🎈

2½ years post-menopause — and I feel more alive, more energised and more excited about my life than I did in my 30s.

Not exactly the story we’re told about midlife, is it?

And it’s not because life has become easier, far from it.

It’s because I’ve become more aligned with who I actually am.

My mid-30s into my early 40s stripped a lot away. They challenged my health, my identity, my energy and the direction I thought my life was going in.

But somewhere in all of that, I stopped trying to fit myself into a version of life that no longer felt true.

And KŌNENKI was born from that place.

From lived experience. From everything I’d learned professionally. From going through perimenopause and then being thrown into surgical menopause at 43. From recognising how little women are prepared for one of the biggest transitions of their lives — and knowing I wanted to help change that.

People have told me that perhaps, in my 40s, I shouldn’t tell everyone I’m already post-menopausal — like I should somehow be embarrassed or ashamed.

So naturally, I’ve decided to do the EXACT OPPOSITE.

I’ll shout it from the rooftops.

Because menopause isn’t something women should feel they need to hide, whisper about or quietly endure.

And it doesn’t have to be the decline we so often hear about.

Of course it has its challenges — I live with the impact of surgical menopause every day.

But I’m also living proof that a happy, fulfilling and energised life is possible with the right education, practical tools and support.

That’s why my mission is to help prepare women before the time arrives.

Because preparation changes the experience.

At 46, I care less about what I’m ‘supposed to be doing’ and more about what feels meaningful.

Less proving. More purpose.
Less fitting in. More truth.

And if this is what getting older feels like, I’m very much here for it.

Everything was leading me here.

Here’s to 46 and loving midlife. 💫🤍✨
