Success, redefined.

Hi, Reader,

For so much of our lives, "success" is/was a list of things we did for other people. We were the best bosses, the most present mothers, the reliable daughters, and the constant caregivers.

But as we navigate this season of life, I’ve been thinking: What if success is no longer about what we do, but how we feel?

Success at 50+ might look like:

  • The power of a "no" that protects your peace.
  • Picking up a hobby you’re "bad" at, simply because it makes you smile. I'm going to try embroidery and hope to make ornaments for my grandkids for next year.
  • Reclaiming your identity beyond the titles you've carried for decades.
  • Setting a boundary that allows you to show up for yourself first.

Success isn't a destination we’re still rushing toward; it’s the quiet joy of finally living our lives on our own terms.

What is one small way you’re redefining success for yourself this year? Hit reply and let me know—I’d love to hear from you.

August 6th, 2026 Prime Time Journey Hi, Reader,The other night, I woke up to the unmistakable sound of four very unhappy chickens. If you've ever had chickens, you know the sound. It's loud enough to send you flying out of bed, wondering what predator has found its way into the coop. We've had chickens for over twenty years (at one time, we had over 30 but we've downsized considerably). Over that time we've dealt with coyotes, raccoons, owls, hawks, and a few other uninvited visitors. More...
