Summary

I just turned 50 - yes, 50! I know people - and women especially - can feel some kind of way about sharing their age. But I have no problem with sharing my age because every day is truly a gift. To mark this milestone, I wanted to take a few moments to reflect, express my gratitude, share some thoughts on what helped me get here, and what’s next.

This episode is also a bit different, as I want to take time to honor two people very dear to me - my late father, who passed away just last month, and my sister, who I lost over 10 years ago. Though I still miss them deeply, I feel immense gratitude for the time we shared, and their memories serve as a constant reminder to appreciate life and the people in it. It’s a bit of a different episode today, but I know you’ll enjoy it!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

Why it doesn’t matter who you call family - it just matters that you spend time with them
Why it’s so important to value your own time
Whether you should invest in things or experiences
Where true joy and happiness come from
How staying true to your values can keep your peace of mind
Why you should shoot your shot - even if you’re scared!
How real clarity comes from action, not overthinking
Why embracing both joy and difficulty is key to living fully
