Description

This episode is my love letter to turning 40 — and to the woman who helped me do it with less fear and more fire.

As I step into this next phase, I’ve been thinking a lot about how our culture taught us to see women in their 40s and 50s: tired, stressed, and quietly disappearing. But then Diane Keaton came along and flipped the script.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The fear of losing relevance as we age
• How movies like This Is 40 (and Something’s Gotta Give) shaped our expectations of midlife
• What Diane Keaton taught me about presence, weirdness, slowing down, and pleasure
• Why I’m rewriting the rules of aging — starting with a fabulous hat

And of course, I’ll share the seven lessons I’m bringing into my forties, inspired by Diane herself.

So if you’re hovering around forty — or already in it — and you’re wondering what comes next, this one’s for you.
