This week’s episode is a special one—it’s my 48th birthday, and it’s also the halfway point of the year. So I’m pausing to reflect on the intentions I set back in January and check in on how things are going.

In this solo chat, I’m sharing what I’ve learned in the last year—from launching this podcast and investing in my own growth, to family trips and therapy revelations. 

I also talk about how my word of the year is going, trying out new fitness routines, and how I’m working to protect—and project—my energy.

🎁 And I have a little birthday favor to ask you… help me reach my birthday goal of 48 5-star reviews for my podcast and I will enter you to win a special prize from me! Listen for all the details!

 

I cover:

✔️ My 2025 intentions and how it’s going so far

✔️ Perimenopause, therapy breakthroughs, and changes to my fitness regimen

✔️ What I’ve learned about energy, mindset, and FUN

✔️ Why taking time to pause and reflect is a non-negotiable for midlife women

✔️ A giveaway to celebrate turning 48 (and how you can win!)
