1️⃣ I did a Life Audit and rated each area of my life from 1-10.

I looked at my health, relationships, work, finances, environment, identity, friendship, play, rest, and personal growth.

2️⃣ I looked closely at my lowest scores.

Not to judge myself, just to notice where my life is asking for attention.

I asked:

What’s working?
What’s not?
What am I avoiding?
What am I tolerating?
What is draining me?
What is energizing me?

3️⃣ I chose one domino area.

I picked the area most likely to create a positive ripple effect through the rest of my life.

4️⃣ I designed one tiny experiment.

Not a permanent commitment. Not a massive overhaul. Just one small change I could test in my actual life.

5️⃣ I got over my fear of being seen and started this account from 0 in July. I’m documenting everything along the way, so I can enjoy this journey with you. 🤍

You don’t have to solve your whole life today. You only need to see it clearly enough to choose your next step.

i have 10 months to create my best life by 40.

i’ve spent most of my 30s in survival mode. i lost both of my parents, became a mom, moved across the country twice, went back to school, changed careers. and once things finally settled, i expected to feel like myself again. instead i just feel disconnected from who i am and what i even want anymore.

so i’m doing something about it. this is episode 1. follow along. 🤍

7 months until I turn 40, and these are my first 4 experiments for my physical health and rest.

They’re built to fit inside my real life (work, content, motherhood, homeschooling), not an overwhelming plan.

1️⃣ Blackout curtains in the bedroom. I’ll compare my Oura Ring sleep data and how rested I feel before and after.

2️⃣ Taking supplements again. I stopped a long time ago, so I’m seeing if I notice a difference in my energy.

3️⃣ A gratitude journal and a nightly prayer and meditation routine. I used to meditate regularly and it changed my life. Bedtime is the most realistic time for me.

4️⃣ Exercising 3 times a week. This is the hard one. I’m making it as easy as possible by starting with the Ladder app and guided workouts at home.

I’ll be documenting everything for the next 4 weeks. These are just my own experiments, not medical advice.

Which one would be hardest for you?

Not another overwhelming plan. This is the 5-step system I’m using for my Best Life by 40 journey (swipe).

Start with the Life Audit, pick two areas, run small experiments, make room before you add anything new, and review every week what’s working and adjust where needed.

I’m starting before I know how the story ends.

I took an honest look at my life and realized that while there is so much I love, there are also parts of me I’ve neglected and parts of my life that no longer feel like my own.

So between now and my 40th birthday, I’m becoming my own client.

I’m using practical psychology, honest self-reflection, and small, realistic experiments to improve my health, rest, friendships, family life, identity, work, and sense of purpose.

No overnight reinvention. No blowing up my life. Just one intentional change at a time.

If you’re somewhere in the middle too, follow along. Let’s see how much our lives can change.

Perfectionism has probably cost me more opportunities than failure ever has.

It can feel responsible. If I research enough, plan enough, prepare enough and wait for the right moment, maybe I can protect myself from making the wrong choice, being judged or regretting what I do.

But the certainty I’m waiting for never actually comes.

And the real cost isn’t only the unfinished projects or goals I haven’t reached. It’s all the time I’ve spent watching my life from the sidelines because I didn’t feel ready to participate in it yet.

So now, when I notice myself getting stuck, I ask:

What is one imperfect action I can take with what I know today?

Send the email.
Post the video.
Try the class.
Do the ten-minute workout.
Make the good-enough decision.
Let yourself be a beginner.

You don’t have to eliminate every trace of fear before you begin. You build readiness by showing yourself that you can take action, learn and adjust along the way.

Where has perfectionism been keeping you on the sidelines?

I have 8 months to create my best life by 40.

Once I saw it on paper, it was very clear what needed to change, but I’m deliberately not starting with my lowest score.

As a working, homeschool mom, my energy has been completely depleted. I haven’t worked out regularly since I was pregnant with my son 8 years ago, have no strength, and haven’t been to regular doctor visits since COVID.

When you’re running on empty, trying to force social plans or hobbies just feels like another overwhelming task on your to-do list.

Physical health and rest are my DOMINO areas. When I start feeling physically stronger and get real sleep, that creates a positive ripple effect into every other part of my life - my confidence, my patience, and my energy to actually enjoy my days.

In Episode 3, I’m breaking down the initial experiments I’m testing to rebuild my baseline.

I used to think I needed a finished plan before I could begin rebuilding my life.

But at 39, I’m realizing that clarity often comes after you start—not before.

Losing both of my parents in my 30s changed my relationship with time. It made me painfully aware that we can spend years waiting for the right moment, the right circumstances, or the version of ourselves who finally feels ready.

I don’t want to do that anymore.

So this year, I’m paying closer attention to what makes me feel alive, what no longer fits, and what I want the next decade of my life to hold. I’m trying small things. Changing my mind. Letting people witness the unfinished parts. Learning how to become my own client.

I don’t have my “best life” completely figured out. But for the first time in a long time, I’m intentionally creating it.

What are you doing differently now that you know will shape your next decade? 🤍

what to do when you’ve lost touch with your own voice:

step 1: get quiet for 2 minutes. not meditate. not journal. just sit with nothing. no phone. no noise. most people can’t do this without anxiety, and that tells you everything about how disconnected you’ve gotten from yourself.

step 2: ask yourself one question. “what do I actually want right now?” not what makes sense. not what other people would approve of. what do YOU want. the first answer that comes up before your brain edits it? that’s the real one.

step 3: notice where you feel it in your body. your gut, your chest, your throat. your body has been trying to tell you the answer. you’ve just been too busy asking everyone else to hear it.

step 4: journal. write out how you’d like your life to be, look, and feel if no one else was making decisions for you. handwriting opens a direct line to the subconscious. once you get into the flow, you may be surprised what comes up for you.

try this when you have a quite moment and come back and let me know how it went. 🤍

you’re not a mind reader. you just play one in your head.

your brain is constantly writing stories about what other people think of you. the problem? none of them are true.

this is one of the most common cognitive distortions i see as a hypnotherapist, and once you learn to catch it, you stop giving away your peace to a narrative you made up. 🤍

save this for the next time you spiral after a conversation.

Sometimes the crisis isn’t turning 40.

It’s realizing how many years you spent being useful, dependable, productive, and needed while becoming increasingly disconnected from yourself.

That realization can feel uncomfortable, but it can also be an invitation.

You don’t have to reject the life you built. You can start noticing where you disappeared from it and gently make room for yourself again.

What part of you have you been missing lately?
