New Decade, New Rules

This is 40: Clarity, Growth & Becoming More Myself

39 and the last 12 months owe me nothing

Dear friends,

I’ve turned 40.

And while most people joke about entering the “over-the-hill” club, I feel like I’m standing on top of the mountain, with a view clearer than ever before.

The past year was nothing short of transformative. I’ve experienced shifts that cracked me open and taught me what I truly value. Some transitions were expected, others came with grief, and all came bearing the gift of deeper self-awareness.

I’ve redefined what success means—beyond titles, beyond expectations. I’ve re-centered my joy around presence, purpose, and the people who truly get me. I’ve realized that soft life and power couple energy can coexist. And maybe, just maybe, I’m stepping into both.

There’s a new rhythm to my life now. One that prioritizes peace over performance, clarity over chaos, and alignment over approval.

I’ve still got ambitious plans—don’t get it twisted. I’m building, I’m dreaming bigger, and I’m making space for love, legacy, and laughter in ways that weren’t possible before.

Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of this journey—seen and unseen. And to the version of me still becoming… I’m rooting for you.

Here’s to 40.

Here’s to becoming.

And here’s to all that’s yet to come.

With gratitude,

B.
