Happy Birthday to me! 

Today I turn 44 — and if I’m being honest, this isn’t where I thought I’d be.

Not in the way that makes me feel regretful, but in the way that reminds me just how unpredictable life can be. I’m still navigating so much uncertainty — in my fertility journey, in how life continues to unfold in ways I didn’t expect, and in the quiet spaces between what’s hoped for and what’s still becoming.

And yet… I’m proud.
I’m proud of how I continue to show up.
I’m proud of the woman I’ve become.
And I’m deeply grateful — for the people in my life, for the clients I get to support, for the growth, for the softness I’m learning to lean into, and for the resilience I sometimes forget I have.

This birthday, I’ve been reflecting on what I want to carry with me into this next chapter. Here are just a few of the lessons I’m holding close:

 You can trust yourself — especially when the path isn’t clear.
 Rest is not something to earn — it’s something you’re worthy of now.
 Slowness isn’t failure.
 You are allowed to outgrow what once made sense.
 There is still time. There is always still time.
 Joy can live in the same breath as grief.

So, here’s to 44.
To holding complexity with compassion.
To choosing presence over perfection.
To continuing to believe that good things are still coming — even when I can’t quite see them yet.

Thank you for being here, for walking this path alongside me in your own ways, and for reminding me we’re never really doing this alone.

XOXO,

Beth
