Mar. 2, 2023 FREEING JOURNEY Your 40s Are Actually Amazing — Here's Why You hear people complain a lot about aging, and for lots of very good reasons. (When did my knees get so flakey???) Well, it's not all bad, says Katie Bingham-Smith. In fact, it's actually pretty great a lot of the time: "It took me a while to get here: a place of doing what I want because I know it's good for my soul and well-being. And the timing is not a coincidence, either: The feelings of FOMO and paying too much attention to what everyone else was doing faded into the background sometime around my 39th birthday, right as I segued into my 40s. And it's been a freeing journey ever since." She's got plenty of great points, and as somebody still on the cusp of her 40s, I found it pretty encouraging. Do you agree?

"But the fact is, middle school (again, so cruel!) and the rest of her life await to make her question her love." She wants more for her girl, and so she's taking action now to build her up.
