Ready for 35: A Year of Confident Cultivation

As I step into my 35th year, I feel a deep sense of excitement and anticipation. Today is my birthday and I’m home soaking in the gratitude over this past year which has been one of immense growth, self-discovery, and bold decision-making. I’ve spent the last 12 months fine-tuning my vision, deepening my personal and professional work, and stepping into a version of myself that is more aligned, ambitious, and expansive than ever before.

Looking Back at 34

34 was my year of laying new foundational beliefs. I started my acupuncture practice, expanded my knowledge from fertility/perinatal care to aerospace and aviation medicine, and leaned into my unique cosmic/witchy, integrative approach to wellness. I launched some new projects, refined my expertise, and strengthened my confidence in stepping into bigger arenas.

It was also a year of deep personal reflection. I continued my journey of self-healing, connected more deeply with my body, and embraced the lessons that came with balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and personal ambition. Through all of this, I have become even more certain that my path is unique, powerful, and meant to inspire transformation.

Welcoming a New Era: 35 to 40

There’s something about entering this next five-year cycle that feels incredibly potent. I see my 35-40 as the era where I work confidently to bring my biggest dreams to life. This is the chapter where I stop questioning whether I’m ‘ready’ and instead claim what I know is meant for me. Cultivating a deep trust in the Universe and myself unlike ever before.

Some of my biggest goals for this next era include:

  • Reapplying for NASA’s astronaut candidate program – a dream that I am stepping toward with full confidence.
  • Hearing back from the IIAS-02 Suborbital Research Flight and actively working toward making space medicine a reality in my career.
  • Scaling my acupuncture and integrative wellness practice to not only serve more families but also elevate my business into something even more expansive.
  • Growing my email list to reach more people with new courses, books, and teachings.
  • Starting my pilot’s license training, further integrating my love for aviation and medicine.

This is the season of going all in.

Stepping into My Power

The past year has been about preparing the soil. Now, it’s time to plant and nurture the seeds of everything I have been working toward. I’m no longer waiting for permission, for the ‘perfect time,’ or for the stars to align. I am aligning myself with what I know I’m meant to do and trusting that the right opportunities will unfold as I take action.

35 feels like the start of a bold new era—one where I am fully stepping into my expertise, power, and purpose. I’m ready.

Here’s to the next five years of expansion, transformation, and achieving the impossible. ✨
