Happy Beyond 40
Are you 40+ and still trying to figure out what, who, or where you want to be, when you grow up? Then you are in the right place. This is Happy Beyond 40… Together, we are connecting with guests and listeners to discuss ways to live authentically while honoring our inner child, and genuine spirit, all while aging and adulting. Our intention is to support each other through shared stories, lived experiences and meaningful questions to help all of us uncover our paths forward. Beware of dry humor, sarcasm, vulnerability, and everything in between.
