The last few weeks have brought a lot of loss into my life—family members, extended family, and friends. Some were expected, others were far too sudden and heartbreaking. Through it all, I kept hearing this phrase: live your best life. And I couldn't help but wonder, what does that really mean? What does it look like to truly live our best life, especially when life can be so unpredictable?

When we're young, "living our best life" might look like partying, chasing thrills, and living on the edge. Then, as we hit midlife, maybe it's about career success, raising kids, or building a solid foundation for the future. As we get older, though, living our best life shifts again. We start focusing on health, relationships, and finding more meaningful experiences. It becomes about aligning how we spend our time with what truly matters—our values, our purpose, our joys.

Living our best life isn't just about doing what makes us feel good in the moment; it’s about being intentional with our time, energy, and resources. It's about pruning out the things, habits, and even people that no longer serve us. Maybe those friends who were once fun in our twenties don't fit into our life anymore. Maybe that item in the house we've been holding onto for years isn't really bringing us joy. At some point, we all have to make the decision to stop wasting time or energy on things that aren't meaningful anymore.

This kind of shift requires maturity, confidence, and the courage to prioritize what really matters. And it’s not always easy—sometimes, it means confronting habits or relationships that we’ve clung to for a long time. But I truly believe that living your best life is about activating those dreams and desires that you’ve pushed aside. Maybe it's traveling to Greece or finally writing that book. It's not about making excuses. It’s about making those things a priority and figuring out how to make them happen.

So how do we go about it? I’m glad you asked, but the answers are in the episode. If you’re ready to find out YOUR best life and how to start living into it, listen in.
