39. Turning 50: Why Time Flies & How to Slow It Down

Every day comes with its surprises, reflections, and lessons, and my 50th birthday came with even more than expected.

In this episode, I share the story of my incredible surprise birthday celebration, a shocking revelation about the Golden Girls everyone needs to know, and why I still feel somewhere between the ages of 25 and 40 in my head. We’ll also dive into why time seems to move faster as we age and, more importantly, how to slow it down.

Key Takeaways

• The Science of Time Perception: Why the years feel shorter as you age and how new experiences can help you hold onto time more intentionally.
• Feeling Younger Than Your Age: The mental disconnect between your physical age and how old you feel.
• How to Slow It Down:
  • Seek out new experiences to create more memorable moments.
  • Let go of the belief that you’re "too old" to try something new.
  • Take small, intentional steps toward the life you truly want…now rather than someday.
