17: Finding Wisdom as We Age | Reflections From My 43rd Birthday | Aging, Self-Compassion

There is something that happens when you stop dreading getting older and actually let it teach you.Turning 43 brought up a lot for me. Not in a crisis kind of way, but in that quiet, reflective way where you find yourself looking back at the woman you were and feeling genuinely grateful for everything it took to arrive here. This episode drops the day after my birthday, and it felt right to mark it with an honest conversation.This is a reflection on the wisdom that only comes from living it. The things I had to unlearn, the places I had to soften, and the truths that have quietly become the foundation of how I move through life now.☽ I TALK ABOUT:Personal growth and what the hardest seasons are really here to teach youSelf-compassion practicesPeople-pleasing and the cost it has on your identity as a womanSelf-forgiveness as the foundation of real emotional healingEmbodying love as your highest frequencySlowing down and what it means for women's wellbeing and presencePerimenopause and navigating it alongside your children's pubertyMindful living and how to stop going through the motionsThe Four Agreements and the mindset shift that changed everything〰️ ABOUT ME, KIRSTEN STOCKTONI’m a mother, intuitive, and soul guide who supports women navigating identity shifts, emotional healing, and feminine awakening.
