Summary

It's my birthday week! I'm turning 45. And every year around this time, I do a birthday episode looking back and looking ahead. This year's theme is about the quiet changes that happen when you're distracted, or busy, or not paying attention. Last year on my birthday I was convinced that something HUGE was going to happen in my 44th year. I thought I had an intuition about it. I journaled my heart out about what was coming for me. And then...when I approached the end of 2023 and then eventually the end of my 44th year, I was disappointed that what I thought was a premonition hadn't come true. Instead, what I found was that I fundamentally changed in the last year. Through a series of events, heart aches, conversations, and maturity, I find myself at a really different place than I was last June. And while it might not be the seismic event I was anticipating, it has been earth shifting all the same. FULL SHOW NOTES HERE MENTIONED in this episode: Join us for Stephen King Summer!

0:00.0	Stephen King Summer is in full swing, but it is not too late to join us because we still have two months to go in my annual book club dedicated to my very favorite author Stephen King.
0:16.9	In July we're reading a couple of selections from his brand new short story collection, which is perfect if you just want to dip your toe into the Stephen King universe you aren't ready to fully commit.
0:30.0	These short stories are a really good way to get started.
0:33.5	And then in the second half of July
0:36.1	and throughout August, we will be reading
0:38.5	one of my favorite novels of all time,
0:40.6	112263. This is also a great entry into Stephen King, especially if you're
0:46.6	nervous about the scary stuff because 1,22, 63, is not scary. It is time travel, it is a thriller, it is excellent beyond and I know that
0:57.5	we are going to have amazing conversations all summer about this writer and his master storytelling. If you want to join us for the Stephen King

2:05.0	So lucky for me, these deep dive reflections are six months apart.

2:22.0	I try to use these episodes as a way to let you into my life,
2:27.6	into the personal side of my life, maybe a side that you don't always see or hear about so much in like the interview
2:36.2	episodes or the prompt episodes or the favorite things episodes all of which I
2:40.9	love sharing with you and creating here for the show.
2:46.0	But the personal episodes are meaningful because I do like talking about some of the things that I don't get to talk about otherwise.
2:55.8	And I also like modeling, kind of the way that I do, my journaling and my own sort of personal introspection, that is what I like to bring to this show.
