from Irina Lee On Energy | Mindset, Habits & Emotional Mastery · host Irina Lee

This week I turn 50.Reaching this milestone has made me pause and reflect on what truly matters in the next chapter of my life.What do I want more of?And just as important: What am I ready to let go of?Key idea: Transitions in life often feel uncomfortable. We like stability. We like knowing who we are, what our role is, and where we belong. But sometimes something begins to shift quietly beneath the surface — a restlessness, a loss of motivation, or a growing curiosity about what might come next.In this episode, I share some reflections on entering a new season of life and the subtle signs that change may already be underway.I also talk about the Hindu goddess Kali, who in mythology represents destruction and transformation — not in a negative sense, but as the force that clears away what is finished so something new can grow.If you have ever felt that something in your life is ending — or quietly evolving into something new — this episode is for you.Because sometimes growth begins exactly where certainty ends.
