35: From Party to Purpose: Making You Birthday Count


Listen Later

It is our Birthdays! Coach Sam and Coach Polly have August and September Birthdays back to back! So they decided to use this celebration episode to share new ideas around how YOU can use your birthday to spark a transformational pivot, instead of a party. 

Have you ever considered using your birthday as a personal "new year" ? Well that is exactly what your coaches advocate in this week's episode, as they share their insights on taking back your day of birth and using the annual tradition to self-reflect, access and recalibrate your life direction. Let's challenge the status quo of traditional birthday parties influenced by societal norms and family expectations, and instead use our personal power to make birthdays deeply personal and impactful.  

Imagine maximizing your next year of life with meaningful experiences and deep connections. Listen to Coach Polly deliver the value of quirky, low-cost adventures like visiting unusual tourist spots, making a 100 list or her planning of spontaneous RV trips. In this convo we place a spotlight on the fleeting nature of time, urging the pursuit of bucket list items while in peak health and stressing the importance of nurturing relationships. Coach Sam reflects on how many meaningful conversations you have left with loved ones, and urges you to make time for those invaluable connections with people outside of your daily routine. 

And lastly we assign some homework like the simple acts of sharing your travel wish list or writing a letter to your future selves. Your day of birth is the one day that you can truly say it all started. You unique path here on this planet in this one body and mind that powers your experience should be honored. We hope to inspire you now to fully own it. This episode is a celebration of self-love, empowerment, and the joy of supporting one another through life's big pivots. It's a reminder that every day is a new opportunity to find your awesome! 

-Coach Sam & Polly xoxo
