The Long Run, Who's Gonna Make It?

Nobody reaches the end of their life wishing they had pleased more people. Tami Jorden has spent hours in rooms with the dying, and what she hears instead, again and again, is this: I wish I had realized what actually mattered. In this solo episode of Butterfly Days, Tami unpacks the scorecard GenX and GenJones women were handed before they were old enough to question it.  She explains why it kept paying out just often enough to keep us playing for thirty years, why the thing we call a midlife crisis is really the reinforcement schedule breaking down, and why success is the very thing that hides the miscalculation.  Then she draws the line that changes everything: the difference between a life assigned to you and a life you author yourself. Tami introduces the second portfolio, the one nobody told us to build, with two holdings, contribution and kinship. Most women arrive at fifty five having never taken inventory of either. This is a clear-eyed, warm rally cry to put down the wrong instrument and start measuring what actually counts.  🦋 Subscribe to Tami Jorden's Substack and visit her website 🦋   🦋 More from Butterfly Days: Substack: https://tamijorden.substack.com/ Website: https://tamijorden.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamara-jorden-322918227/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1ASQDpGEUX/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/butterflydayspodcast
