Episode 25 - Forty-Three

from We Weren't Told Hosted by Angel Beswick-Reid

I turned 43 yesterday, and it felt less like arriving somewhere and more like the moment on a sports massage table when a deep knot finally releases — painful, then unexpectedly lighter. In this episode we're: Revisiting what my 40th birthday looked like compared to yesterday, and what changed in between. Naming the ache of celebrating without my sisters there, and how joy and sadness sat in the same room all night. Unpacking why turning 43 feels like a knot releasing rather than everything clicking into place. Sitting with everything I thought I'd settled by 40 coming back up for examination instead. Asking whether the breaking apart in our 40s might actually be the work, not the failure. If this one hits close, go back and listen to Episode 7: Crashout Season — same terrain, different season. Grab your drink or your iced coffee, my friend. It's go time. Come say hi on Instagram 🫶🏽 @iamangelbr | @iamwewerenttoldpodcast
