Today is a very special episode: I'm walking you down memory lane and sharing standout lessons I've learned during the last 50 years. Note, this list of 50 things shared in this solo episode aren't all encompassing. Most of the items I've included are from the last decade.

Reflecting on these lessons has been such a good reminder that life truly will always be a classroom and that it's never too late to learn really important things!

What to expect in today's episode:

1. A list of 50 things I've learned about God, health, rest, food and so.much.more.
2. Voice memos from our community, sharing things they wished they would have learned before hitting the big 5-0 and also some messages from the younger listeners, sharing their bucket list items to reach before turning 50.
3. Information about a fun challenge!

Celebrate with me!

Listen to the mini episodes over the next few days and participate with me by doing the small challenges I share about in each mini episode. Take a pic and tag me @gracedhealth and use the hashtag #5DaysTo50 so I can follow along as you do the challenges. Thank you for celebrating with me!

Thank you for giving me the space to share this milestone birthday. And a special thank you to those of you who answered the call to leave voice mails.
