My Countdown to Turning 50

A few weeks ago, I turned 48. Birthdays have never rattled me; I genuinely like myself more with every passing year. But this one stirred something. For the first time, 50 doesn't feel like someone else's milestone. It's close, and that realization made me sit with a question I'd never quite asked myself this way before: Who do I want to become over the next two years?

What We Cover

Why I let this question sit for weeks before recording

Reflecting on the losses and hard seasons that have quietly shaped the woman I'm becoming

Why I no longer believe resilience is a personality trait

The vision I wrote for myself at 50, and why the first thing I saw wasn't my business, a book, or a stage

My personal commitments between now and 50: strength training three times a week, weekly yoga, daily walks, and an honest look at my relationship with alcohol

Why after 26 years of coaching women, I'm convinced that weight loss is almost never what women are really chasing

How the Chaos to Calm Method is rooted in helping women come back to themselves, not become someone new

A simple reflection exercise I'm inviting you to try after you finish listening
