S17:E28: Reflections on Turning 40 (+40 Things You Might Not Know About Me)

Today, I'm turning forty and taking a quiet moment to reflect on the decade that brought me here. My thirties were a season of transformation, challenge, and deep awakening. They changed me utterly, teaching me about pain as a portal, creativity as a life force, and story as the map that guides us home to ourselves. In this episode, I'm sharing 40 Things You Might Not Know About Me —a blend of the personal and the profound, from lessons on love, self-sovereignty, and radical ownership, to small joys like morning rituals and the comfort of old movies. It's a celebration of what it means to grow, to heal, and to keep choosing life again and again and again. Whether you're at a turning point yourself or simply in need of a little perspective and inspiration, I hope these reflections remind you that every story, including yours, is always unfolding.
