Fearless and Forty - Episode 14: Ending Maycember: Saying No, Finding Rest and Pool Days Ahead

In this episode of Fearless and Forty, we’re officially closing the chapter on Maycember. If you've ever felt like May is a nonstop rollercoaster of commitments, events, and emotional exhaustion—you're not alone! We’ve been there, too. As we reflect on the whirlwind that was May, we talk about the toll it’s taken—especially on our mental and emotional health—and how saying “no” to things can be so much harder than it sounds.
Join us as we dive into the challenges of balancing work, family, social obligations, and personal time—and how sometimes, the most important thing is recognizing when it's time to slow down. We’ll also share tips on how we’re learning to say no without guilt, and why embracing rest and setting boundaries is key to avoiding burnout.
With June around the corner, we’re looking forward to the slower pace of summer: diving into a good book, binging all the shows we’ve missed, and spending lazy days by the pool. It’s time to give ourselves permission to finally hit pause.
So grab your favorite drink, kick back, and join us for a much-needed chat about stepping away from the hustle and embracing the much-anticipated calm of June. #fearlessand40 #midlife #maycember
