I have never felt more comfortable with aging and more comfortable with the age that I'm at.

I have never felt more comfortable with aging and more comfortable with the age that I'm at.

more comfortable with what I'm choosing to do today than ever before and it's made me really, really reflective and it's made me want to talk about this experience of birthday anxiety that I've had for so long and all the stress that usually comes with gaining another year, gaining another year of life, getting another year of experiences and I want you to Note that I did not say getting older.

I like to position it as something that we are given, something that we are gifted. So this year I'm in New York City. I've been in the US for like two and a half weeks for work, for work being this podcast and for Mantra, of course, doing some like amazing recordings with some incredible guests that are coming out soon.

And by being in New York, I know a few people, but honestly, like I don't have a huge, broad, wide group of friends here. My boyfriend's back in Australia, all my close friends, my family are back in Australia. So I couldn't do like a big thing this year. I couldn't do like a big party. I couldn't like celebrate with my closest loved ones. And you know what? I think that's part of why I feel...

so serene about it like my plan is to go to a diner tonight and I'm gonna get breakfast for dinner and I'm gonna do my little birthday routine which I'll talk about later in the episode that I do every single year and I have never felt more excited about it like I said before this experience has not always been the case and I am sure for many of you who are listening you are

Who you are, what you've learned, and also who you want to become. Like, you're very focused on the future. We're getting older. What if things don't work out the way I want? I have less time. I feel like my body is aging, even though if you're in your 20s, like, you're still really at the peak of your youth, but... All of these feelings and this contemplation is naturally very paralyzing.
