✨ What if your birthday could be the reset button you’ve been waiting for in midlife?
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, I don’t even recognize this woman anymore — this episode is your permission slip to stop dreading birthdays and start celebrating them. My guest, Tamar Hurwitz Fleming, author of How to Have a Happy Birthday, shares why birthdays are our most spiritually powerful day of the year and how to:
🎂 Break old patterns of disappointment
🎂 Ask for what you want without guilt
🎂 Stop birthday sabotage (yes, even the “mystery illness” kind)
🎂 Celebrate aging with courage instead of fear
It’s time to reclaim birthdays as an excuse to honor yourself, laugh a little louder, and take up space — because you deserve it.
