Hello, 40: A New Chapter - Solo Episode with Corie

Turning 40 feels like a good moment to come back to the podcast for a more intimate check-in.

In this solo episode, I reflect on where I’ve grown, where I’m still being asked to grow—especially when it comes to boundaries with family—and what feels exciting about this next stage of life.

I also revisit some of my old beliefs about turning 40. For a long time, I imagined it as the beginning of a downhill trajectory. Instead, I’m finding myself reclaiming this age with more groundedness, confidence, and hope for what’s ahead.

I talk honestly about the parts of the future that still bring uncertainty, including the desire my husband and I share to have a child and the thoughts that come up around my “biological clock.” How do I continue caring for myself while also becoming a mother? I don’t have all the answers, but I’m learning to trust the stability of my marriage, the life we’re building together, and the understanding that there is time for the decisions I want and need to make.

More than anything, this episode is a check-in with myself—and an invitation to recognize that growth doesn't stop at 40. Maybe this isn't the beginning of the decline. Maybe it's the beginning of becoming even more fully myself.
