Today is extra special because it’s my birthday! 🎉

In this episode, I’m diving into birthdays, age, and the incredible journey of life. I’ll share a beautiful download I received from the universe just two days ago while driving. Plus, I’m giving you the inside scoop on why the number 22 is so meaningful to me. It all started with my soulmate dog, Honeybee, and a magical moment we shared during her final days.

I’m reflecting on the amazing experiences and growth I’ve had this past year. From moving across the country with one of my best friends to reconnecting with old friends and launching this very podcast, it’s been an incredible journey. I’ve been blessed with deep, soul-fulfilling friendships and new professional milestones.

I’ll also talk about redefining middle age and embracing the changes that come with it. It’s all about feeling empowered, excited, and ready to take on whatever comes next.

And guess what? I had a divine revelation about my next big project! Tune in and find out what it is!
