Hello, my name is Jane Nevins, and I turn 40 years old this April. And I have big feelings about this. As the first wave of “elder millennials” enters their fifth decade, we find a cultural script for this stage of life that is, well, frankly, a bummer. Most stories about people turning 40 are sad sack tales of missed opportunities, mourning their youth, and thoughts like, “Is this all there is? I thought it would be better! I thought there would be more!” Join me on this podcast and explore what being a newly minted 40-year-old means.

    4: From Stagnation to Creation: Turning 40 with Sara

    Is 40 the age where adulthood finally finds you, or do we just keep figuring it out as we go? In this episode, I'm joined by an extra special guest: my spouse, Sarah! In our conversation, we acknowledge the grief that comes up once you hit 40, the freedom of queerness in aging, and how Erik Erikson’s theories on generativity help reframe midlife as a time of creativity and opportunity. From mourning fading possibilities to finding surprising moments of growth and acceptance; we explore the tension between feeling “too old” and embracing the joy in new beginnings, even as we say goodbye to some old dreams. Whether it’s going back to school, rethinking career paths, or accepting our newfound wrinkles, this episode is all about embracing the messy and creative middle-life.
