9 Things I Wish I Knew Sooner About Life, Love, and Happiness

In this heartfelt episode, I'm reflecting on 9 life lessons I wish I could share with my 18-year-old self. Each "lesson" is a message of self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment, from self-worth and resilience to navigating early marriage and motherhood.If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, questioned your choices, or felt pressured by societal expectations, I hope you will feel comforted, gain perspective, and discover a renewed belief in your own journey. Whether you’re young or simply young at heart, this episode serves as a reminder that it’s never too late to embrace who you truly are.

I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives. The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time.
