About

I recently entered my 40’s and as cliched as it sounds, realized that LIFE felt different!

Firstly, I noticed a lot of changes physically. I’ve been blessed with a constant weight for the most part of my life (not counting the 2 pregnancies when I grew into a hippo and put on over 60 lbs each time!). But around the time I turned 40, I noticed that I actually put on weight. For the first time in my life, I put on weight without having another human inside me! I felt perplexed and puzzled. The lower belly expanded and the jeans started feeling tighter.

I had constantly felt like I had a good metabolism, but began to feel it slow down.

I also felt mentally exhausted like crazy!

Up until now, I never shirked my grocery shopping responsibilities but I couldn’t for the life of me get myself to go to the grocery store.

Not to mention the blah feeling with my spouse of 15 years.

Or the sudden acting up of growing kids.

Or the questioning of the big picture with my career and professional growth!

All the doubts and questions HIT me all of a sudden! In the days and weeks leading up to my 40th, I was not thinking about celebrating but almost wanted to hide and run away from it all.

I would be lying if I didn’t mention the feeling of sinking that seemed to engulf me.

What puzzled me is that none of my friends mentioned anything to me. Of course, everyone may have different experiences. But I wish in the numerous 40th birthday party celebrations or thereafter my friends had mentioned what to expect so I didn’t feel lost, confused and even sad and depressed to a certain extent.

That is why In Your 40’s is here! To be your friend and support system that tells you as is and provide the community of support that you can leverage as and when you need to make the 40’s, a fabulous time of your life!
