This week I turn 50. Instead of balloons or cake, I’m marking this milestone by sharing five truths that feel carved into me now. Call it my 5 for 50. These are the lessons I’m carrying into this next decade—about boundaries, embodiment, reciprocity, friendship, and trusting the timing of my life.

If you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, I hope you hear yourself in these truths. And if you’re younger, I hope you take them as reminders to claim your life sooner rather than later.

In this episode I share:

Why I will no longer overexplain myself
How my body, not the clock, sets the pace for my life
The line I’ve drawn around reciprocity in relationships and work
The honest truth about not knowing how to be a good friend until later in life
Why I am no longer comparing my timeline to anyone else’s
