How I Gifted Myself 12 Months of Dates for My 40th Birthday — And Why Every Woman Should Do This

When you're a single parent with no significant other and a two year old who can't exactly plan a surprise, you have to learn to celebrate yourself. In this episode I share how I gifted myself 12 months of experiences for my 40th year — from a Mediterranean cruise to a photography course around Edinburgh, an afternoon tea with a live harpist, and a scrapbookingretreat weekend.We talk about why self-celebration matters, how to plan your own dates on any budget, and why the dopamine of having something to look forward to every month is one of the most underrated tools for your mental health and wellbeing.Wheel of life downloadable: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wheel-of-life-154623364?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 5 day devotion to self-love - workbook:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkJoin my Patreon: https://patreon.com/SoulandScissors?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_l Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsHello forty Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLigksqyXAnMS-T-sfjwZE7A1n3sE-SViHShop:https://www.fresha.com/store/beauty-by-charlene-store-bxua8lgq?pId=2604457 Download my free 2026 reading list & workbook (Bookstack Diaries): https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5#selflove #selfcare #singlemum #personaldevelopment #40thbirthday #giftingyourself #womensempowerment #healingjourney#selfcelebration #mindset
