Transcript

Shout out to those who are age 42 and turning 43 sometime this year in 2026. I turn 43 next month, and I am so excited mainly because ages 35 to 42 is the spiritual awakening period. This is a period where you are tapping back into your authentic self. You're expressing your authentic self. You're doing the work that you've always wanted to do. You're doing the passion that you've always wanted to do, and you're no longer living life just solely for others, but you're really living it for yourself. Embrace this period. You've earned it. It has not been easy. I'm gonna do videos later on breaking down each year from 35 to 42, but just know that if you're in this range of of your age, it's a beautiful period. Let things flow. Don't resist the changes, but you are becoming
