Why "Act Your Age" Is the Dumbest Advice I've Ever Heard

What does "acting your age" even mean? For many of us, it was code for conforming, shrinking, and making others comfortable. As we grow, we learn that external rules matter less than internal truth. This video is about trusting your inner guidance, choosing authenticity over expectation, and giving yourself permission to live honestly.

You don't need to fit a mold.
You deserve to feel free.

In this powerful episode of Master Your Life, Kate sits down with Tim Arkell, Executive Director of Friends of Mahima, to talk about hope, courage, and the life-changing work being done to restore young girls who are survivors of trafficking, exploitation, and abuse.

Tim shares how a personal connection to the stories of trafficked children led him and his family into this mission-driven work and how faith, community, and compassion fuel his unwavering positivity even in the face of dark realities. Together, they explore the holistic restoration process at Mahima Homes in India, the importance of showing up to serve, and the many ways anyone can get involved in making a difference.

This episode is a reminder that even small acts of courage, generosity, and presence can create transformational change.

No One Warned You About This Part of Getting Older

Bodies change—yes. But what doesn't get talked about enough is the freedom that shows up after 50.

You stop carrying things out of habit or guilt.
You ask better questions.
You care less about how things look and more about how they feel.

You stop pretending.
You stop overexplaining.
You start trusting your inner knowing—and your own pace.

This clarity doesn't come from an easy life. It comes from experience, loss, perspective, and learning what's no longer yours to carry.

You're not fading.
You're not behind.
You're traveling lighter now.

And honestly? That might be the best part.

You know the moment. A comment. A look. A "joke." Nothing dramatic, and yet it stuck.
In this video, I talk about how small comments can shape the way we show up for decades, why we adapt instead of arguing, and what it really means to live undeterred rather than edited.

If you've ever gone quiet after a comment…
If you've ever stopped yourself without knowing why…
This one's for you.

Winter Solstice: A New Beginning

Winter doesn't need to be loud or frantic, even if we've turned it into that.

In this video, I'm talking about the Winter Solstice as a real turning point. The darkest night of the year. And the moment the days begin to get longer.

I share a childhood memory of winter, the pace, the togetherness, the calm, and why I'm choosing to bring that same energy into the new year. Less pressure. Less proving. More connection. More joy.

This isn't about fixing your life or reinventing yourself.
It's about deciding, honestly, what you want to carry forward and what you're ready to leave behind.

If you're entering the new year craving clarity instead of chaos, this conversation is for you.
