Thank you for sharing as I really enjoyed this read. Number 6 hits for me - I’m definitely trying to stop the audition for perfection. She keeps trying to sneak in, but I’m working on it haha
Yes. Yes. Yes. Almost like a switch was flipped as soon as I turned 50 I felt differently about everything. I really don’t care what everyone thinks of my choices…I love them. The house isn’t being cleaned as often and I am spending more time walking, writing, in the gym. I like who I am now more than any other time in my life!
Always enjoy what you have to say, but this one hit me hard in the very best of possible ways given a difficult lunch conversation with someone devoted to aligning their insides with what they believe everyone expects and I'm just so very done with that....and said it with kindness and also a "let's not fight over this. You have your way and I have mine. And mine works really, really well for me."
I also find that I apologize and take accountability faster and without as much self-loathing and resistance. I acknowledge it, make amends, and move on. I feel like this is a healthy way to model confidence with compassion for younger people coming along in their own journeys.

At 73, everything continues to get better as there’s so much more history, wisdom and smarts that go into who I am.
