After 55 years of living, building, healing, and growing (and yes, unlearning), I’ve collected more than a few hard-earned truths. In this special birthday episode, I’m opening up my journal and sharing 55 of the most important lessons I’ve learned — not just about business or nutrition, but about identity, mindset, reinvention, boundaries, and what it really means to live a fulfilling life on your terms.

 

Whether you’re 35, 45, or 65, this episode is for any woman who’s realizing that success, peace, and personal power don’t come from doing more — they come from finally listening to yourself. These aren’t Pinterest quotes or clichés — these are lived truths I’ve walked through, and I’m passing them on with zero filter and full heart.

 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE

• The mindset shifts that changed everything in my 40s and 50s

• What I’ve learned about emotional eating, body image, and midlife health

• How to redefine success without burning out or starting over

• Why boundaries aren’t selfish — and how to actually hold them

• The truth about reinventing your identity (and your career)

• How to stop outsourcing your worth and start trusting yourself

• Why grief and gratitude can (and often do) exist at the same time

• 55 unfiltered truths to help you design a radically fulfilling life

 

I hope this episode gives you permission to reflect on your own journey and recognize just how much wisdom you already carry. Whether one of these 55 lessons hit home or sparked something new in you, remember: you are never too old, too behind, or too far off track to come home to yourself.

If this conversation spoke to you, I’d be honored if you shared it with someone who might need to hear it too. These lessons aren’t just mine — they’re reminders we all need. And if it made you pause, reflect, or breathe a little deeper… then we’re on the right path.
