In this deeply personal birthday episode, I reflect on what it means to be seen, celebrated, and centered. Through stream-of-consciousness journaling, the wisdom of The Artist’s Way, and intergenerational dialogue with my daughter Emma, I reclaim joy and self-worth as sacred birthrights—not rewards we earn. If you've ever struggled with centering yourself, especially around your birthday or life milestones, this episode offers a gentle, liberating invitation to rewrite the stories that no longer serve you.

Where in my body do I still carry the grief of being unseen or unacknowledged?


What does it feel like to center myself, not out of ego, but out of reverence?


Where do I still flinch when loved?

What is one way I can intentionally honor the miracle of my life this week?
