It's my birthday week and I'm turning 43! Naturally, I've been reflecting on what my 40s have taught me so far—especially the last year because, wow, it was a transformative one. Some might call this season a midlife crisis (and there's actually science to support that, which I touch on in the episode). But I've come to see it differently: as a period of realignment. An invitation to question what's no longer working, reconnect with what matters, and begin authoring a new chapter.

In today's episode, I share:

  • What it felt like to question nearly everything after a major life transition
  • The research that helped me understand why my priorities have shifted so much in my 40s
  • How I went from feeling wound-up and irritable to calmer and more present
  • The unexpected freedom that came from stepping away from social media
  • Why this season feels less like a crisis and more like a homecoming
