On the Last Day of My 40s
On the Last Day of My 40s:
Dirty Dishes, Big Dreams & Finally Seeing Myself Clearly
Today, I spent the last day of my 40s doing laundry. And dishes. And all the not-so-glamorous behind-the-scenes stuff that keeps a family running. No spa day. No champagne brunch. Just me, my to-do list, and the quiet hum of a household preparing for something big.
Because tomorrow—on my 50th birthday—I launch the Hey Jimmy book series.
And I didn’t just happen to pick that day. I chose it. Because this moment, this series, this version of me? It deserves a milestone.
I’ve spent a lot of years thinking I wasn’t enough. Not smart enough. Not creative enough. Not confident enough to make something of my own. But somewhere around 49, that started to shift. I stopped focusing on what I wasn’t, and started leaning into everything I am.
Turns out, I’m pretty damn amazing.
I’m sassy. I’m smart. I’m real. And while it may have taken me a little longer than some to believe it, I finally do. I believe what others have seen in me all along. And now? I’m ready to show up fully.
This launch isn’t just about a book. It’s about stepping out of the shadows I used to hide in. It’s about owning my voice, my vision, and my story.
So yes, I spent the last day of my 40s doing dishes. But tomorrow? I launch a legacy.
Watch out world. I’ve got a lot of time to make up for—and I’m just getting started.
