Loved reading this as someone in her grinding era... honestly looking forward to 40s and found some gems for myself here like questioning if thoughts are coming from ego or intuition and the idea of consuming like the French 💕

Bone broth instead of collagen powder! Someone I trust turned me onto Brodo and suddenly I’ve become that person who mail orders broth from NYC 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love this list so much! Thank you, Meghann! Consuming like the French: something I aspire to do daily.

Yes to this list. I’m not letting myself buy any clothing from Amazon again and instead focusing on more quality items.

Yes, I always (sadly) found the stuff from Amazon ended up in the giveaway pile

This is a wonderful list Meghann. I’m 38, I always appreciate when someone a few steps ahead drops their knowledge. My minimalist self loved “pick the best, skip the rest” and get good at conflict, that’s a good reframe!

Moving, going back to my inner artist, choosing connection over consumption 💖 Loved this piece! Already started at 38, the standard ways of living no longer make much sense.

There are some gems here, with a good portion of humour. I really appreciated #14. Thank you!

I am about this age and happier than I’ve ever been. I can’t wait to see what 55 will bring 🤩

Just became a dog mom in my mid-40s and so happy to read 3 and 4 especially (but all of these are terrific)!
