Ep 269 Another Trip Around the Sun

In this episode, I reflect on something personal, poignant, and increasingly precious: what it means to celebrate another birthday; not as a tally of years, but as an intentional pause to honour hindsight, insight, and foresight or as I call them - reflections. As someone who’s lost people far too soon, I simply can’t buy into the anti-ageing narrative. Ageing, to me, is a gift; one I intend to honour with gratitude, self-belief, and purpose. I share stories of those who nudged me out of the shadows, helped me peel back layers of self-doubt, and opened doors to a life that feels truly mine. With each trip around the sun, I grow more reflective. I’ve come to see that living on purpose doesn’t mean hustle; it means alignment. And celebrating your existence isn’t vanity, to me it is sacred. Let's live more fully, tread more softly, and refuse to let fear or comparison rob us of the life in our years. Shall we?   ** Key Points ** Ageing is a gift, not a problem  Self-belief is layered, but lasting  Purpose is quiet, aligned, and powerful   #Introverts #PurposefulLiving #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
