015 - How to Have a Happy Birthday (Really!) - With Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming

When was the last time you truly enjoyed your birthday?

In this uplifting and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming – writer, spiritual teacher, and author of How to Have a Happy Birthday. 

Tamar shares why birthdays matter more than we think, how they offer a unique opportunity to celebrate ourselves, and how we can reclaim joy in a way that feels authentic (even if you’re not usually a fan of birthdays).

We explore everything from birthday blues and self-sabotage to the power of ritual, boundaries, and reflection. You’ll hear why birthdays can be transformational – not just once a year, but as a blueprint for living with greater presence, self-love, and purpose.

Expect thoughtful insights, gentle challenges to your assumptions, and a renewed sense of what it means to honour yourself – not just on your birthday, but every day.
