Ep 4: the view from 28

[VIDEO VERSION AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE] 

Birthdays: they can be magical, complicated, or sometimes… just plain weird. In this episode, I’m getting real about my own relationship with birthdays — past and present — the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

From awkward celebrations to meaningful moments, I explore why the gift of aging is something we don’t always stop to appreciate, but should. Because growing older isn’t just about blowing out candles — it’s about perspective, resilience, and embracing the messy, beautiful journey of becoming.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about your own birthday, or just need a reminder to see aging as the privilege it truly is, this one’s for you.

✨ Let’s celebrate progress over perfection, together.
