Ep 82: Why 46 Feels Better Than 26 – A Birthday Reflection on Running and Life
Friday, 30 January, 2026
In this special birthday episode, I’m reflecting on why life at 46 feels better, fuller, and more aligned than life at 26. From early adulthood filled with comparison, self-doubt, and figuring things out, to midlife marked by confidence, clarity, and knowing who I am (and who I’m not), this episode is a celebration of growth, perspective, and becoming.We talk about how identity is built over time, why running and fitness look different (and better) in your 40s, how friendships evolve with the seasons of life, and why slowing down, savoring, and choosing alignment matter more than ever in midlife.If you’re in your 40s—or heading there—this episode is an invitation to reflect on how far you’ve come, what you love about this season, and what you’re dreaming of next.✨ Topics we cover: • What’s better about your 40s than your 20s • Confidence built through experience, not perfection • Running for joy, stress relief, and longevity • Letting go of comparison and timelines • Savoring this busy but beautiful season of midlifeThank you for celebrating my birthday with me. If this episode resonated, share it with a friend—and as always, make time to fill your own cup today.
