🎉 It's my birthday, June 28th, and I'm officially 50!  Can you believe it? I was born in 1975, and now I've reached the big 5-0.  When I was a kid, I thought 50 was OLD — like Golden Girls old — you know, big glasses, short permed hair, and becoming a grandma. Honestly, though, I feel nowhere close to that stage of life. I feel more like 30 or 40 years old.  It's truly a privilege to be thriving, not just surviving, and cultivating a life I'm proud of. On this week's episode, I'm chatting about what 50 years have taught me — all the things my mom never told me. I'll also share some predictions for the next decade.  I'm diving into some huge lessons I learned, especially after my 40s brought some unexpected challenges like hormone changes and burnout. I thought I'd be sailing smoothly, but that decade was a rollercoaster. I even "retired" at 44 because I was so burned out.  While I wish I'd learned these things sooner, I'm grateful to be figuring them out now and passing them on to my kids, and to you. 4 Key Takeaways: Prioritizing personal well-being (mental and physical health, self-care, setting boundaries) becomes increasingly important, especially in midlife. Understanding and acting on your personal values and letting go of the need for external validation is key to a more fulfilling (and fun) life. Defining and pursuing your own priorities and delegating draining tasks are key to avoiding burnout. Dreaming big and continually setting new goals can lead to a life that surpasses your initial expectations. 5 Recommended Actions: Reflect on what truly brings you joy and prioritize those activities. Evaluate your current health and wellness habits, like your sleep, nutrition, and movement, then identify one small area you can improve. Identify your core values and consider how you can align your daily actions with them. Practice setting and communicating boundaries in your relationships. Allow yourself to dream big about your future, even if it feels uncomfortable.
