Summary
If you hardly knew somebody and something felt off, would you dismiss what you were sensing, seeing or hearing, or would you pay attention? Well, if like so many of us do, you ignored you, you're not alone. If you get niggling messages from within but dismiss them because they don't make sense or are 'inconvenient', you're definitely not alone. Natalie talks about how turning 42 and leaning into her forties has caused her to double down on listening to herself and shares ideas for tuning in.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Natalie Lou and you're listening to the baggage reclaim sessions. |
| 0:09.0 | Hello, how are you doing? |
| 0:12.0 | I am a little bleary-eyed because it was so flipping hot. |
| 0:17.3 | We're going for a major heat wave, which on one hand we go, oh my gosh, it's amazing that it's so hot basking in the wonderful weather. |
| 0:25.3 | And on the other hand you go, yeah, this is a little bit weird about how crazy hot it is, |
| 0:30.4 | you know, climate change and all that, jazz. |
| 0:33.2 | And so yeah, last night couldn't sleep, |
| 0:36.4 | and snoozing away on top of the duvet, |
| 0:40.6 | me feeling like I'm baking in an oven so I had to go and sleep on the sofa which didn't make for the best night's sleep. |
| 0:48.0 | Anyway, aside from feeling a little bit bleary-eyed, I'm also feeling a little bit excited as it is my birthday in a few days. Yes, I turned 42 on |
| 0:59.9 | July 28th and it's funny because I'm now like a couple of years into my |
| 1:06.8 | 40s and some of you may recall that I got after a little bit of a rocky start |
| 1:11.7 | getting into the 40s. they did go into a meltdown |

| 1:24.1 | existential crisis. I had a bit of a meltdown and then I don't know, kind of 40 came |
| 1:28.7 | along and I was like, oh actually this is a bit of an anticlimax but also like the sky hasn't fallen down and I'm okay |
| 1:36.3 | and I'm kind of liking this but it feels like 41 has been where I've been like, okay, yeah, I am in my 40s now, but I'm actually enjoying it. |
| 1:48.0 | I think I'm sort of hitting on this point in my life or this next phase in my life where I'm really doubling down and not being so |
| 1:58.1 | concerned about what everybody else thinks. |
| 2:03.0 | And I'm going to talk some more about that later on |
