It’s our birthday week on Living Vividly, and we’re diving into the beauty (and sometimes the chaos) of getting older with counselor and speaker Melissa Bowen. From turning 36 to celebrating 50, we talk about wisdom, boundaries, gratitude, and why aging can actually be the most freeing season of life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ Why aging doesn’t have to mean “getting old”

🧠 How to reframe midlife from a “crisis” to a reconstruction

💬 The power of letting go of people-pleasing and setting boundaries

🌙 Why gratitude practices shift how you experience everyday life

💖 How to embrace your values and show up authentically at any ageIf you enjoy today’s conversation, don’t forget to subscribe, leave us a review, and share it with a friend. Here’s to living vividly at every age.
