Like what @Erin said below. I turned 40 in lockdown #1 in the UK. Decided to own my achievements (my PhD, which I received when I was 27, but never really advertised, and the fact I can lift more weight than any man I know) and ignore the criticisms that I'm not what people think of as feminine. Haven't had much of a chance to check the new attitude out. But it's working so far.

40 = caring much much less about what people and society think. Just a different vibe - I know me and I know what I want and need. Don't have it, don't care? Bye.

It’s funny, I was just having a shower thought the other day to ask some 50+ year old women to ask if they thought their 30’s or 40’s felt more like their prime lol. I’m only 37, so I have a few years to 40, but I don’t think it scares me... I feel like life keeps just getting better. I fear that with my aging that means my parents also age and they are by no means definitions of health.

Also wanted to add to the podcast list:

Honest To Dog - weekly dog training by a dog behaviourist. Great advice!

Sex With Emily - another weekly all about healthy sex conversations, exploration and embracing female pleasure.
