Birthday Reflections: Cheers to 40

This year is a turning of a chapter for me. I enter my 4th decade of life and it has made me very introspective. 

In TCM 42 is the next 7 year cycle, but for many of us (myself included) the changes heralded in at this next turning point start to show themselves a couple of years on either side of this transition. I am already seeing drier skin and increase in thirst. How I need to move my body has started to shift. The shifts are subtle right now but how I care for my body now will support my perimenopausal journey and the grace of the menopausal transition. 

In this week's episode you get the "musings of an old lady" reflecting on life, health and what really matters as I embark on my 40s and all the magic they hold.
