Episode 14: Centering Liberation at 44
In this deeply personal birthday episode, I reflect on what it means to be seen, celebrated, and centered. Through stream-of-consciousness journaling, the wisdom of The Artist’s Way, and intergenerational dialogue with my daughter Emma, I reclaim joy and self-worth as sacred birthrights—not rewards we earn. If you've ever struggled with centering yourself, especially around your birthday or life milestones, this episode offers a gentle, liberating invitation to rewrite the stories that no longer serve you.
