This week, I’m turning 40. And instead of freaking out about it (like my 20-something self thought I would), I’m sitting in a place of deep gratitude. In this episode of The Photographer’s Couch, I’m reflecting on the journey so far—20 years of marriage, three amazing boys, a business I love, and the messy, beautiful balance of motherhood and entrepreneurship.

I’m talking about what it feels like to reach this milestone, why 40 feels better than I ever imagined, and how gratitude can shift the way we look at both the chaos and the calm in our lives.

🔑 In This Episode I Share:

• Why 40 feels surprisingly peaceful, grounded, and right
• The life lessons I’ve learned from being a mom of three boys
• How 20 years of marriage has shaped me
• The journey of building a photography business from the ground up
• Why the mess and the hustle are worth being thankful for
• A reminder that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be full

🎂 Whether you’re approaching a big milestone or just feeling the weight of life’s busy seasons, this episode is a reminder that gratitude changes everything.
