When the Milestone Isn't Your Age

We're taught that birthdays only count when they're culturally considered milestones. Forty. Fifty. Fifty-five. Sixty. Anything in between, you are supposed to let quietly pass. This year, at fifty-four, I did something different. Not because of my age, but because of who I am becoming. And it brought up far more than I expected. If you have ever wanted to do something for yourself + felt that quiet pull of who do you think you are, this episode about taking up space in your life is for you. WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER •       Why a milestone of being can matter more than a milestone of age. •       The part of taking up space that almost no one talks about. •       What receiving help has to do with the life you are trying to build. •       How to collect the no's without making them mean something about you. •       What I said when someone told me I couldn't do it my way.   REFLECTION QUESTION Let go of the cultural programming + the way you are supposed to be. What is one thing you want to create for yourself?   QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE "It wasn't a milestone birthday in terms of age. It was a milestone in my way of being."
