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!

• 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
