The Over-40 No

We are in Venus retrograde. She is resting deep beneath the earth, and perhaps that is an invitation for us to do the same. To pause, look inward, and ask honestly what is working and what is not.

This month I want to share something I have been sitting with and writing about for our membership community. It is about a shift I have noticed in myself, and I suspect you will recognize it too.

I am calling it the Over-40 No.

At some point in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, something changes in the way we relate to our time, our energy, and our obligations. Our tolerance for energy-draining situations, relationships, and commitments does not just dip. It completely evaporates. For a long time, I mistook this for being grumpy, impatient, or just plain tired.

It is time to reframe this.

You are not difficult. You are becoming aware and efficient.

Your spirit and your soul have finally designated your peace of mind as a premium commodity.

This month, inside the MBDY Social and Movement Club, we're exploring what it means to stop treating boundaries like an exhausting defensive chore and start celebrating them as the ultimate act of midlife wellness.

If you're not yet a member, this is a good month to join. The weekly emails go out every Sunday, and they go places like this. Find more information HERE.

With love and gratitude,
