This week’s justUS feels especially personal. Margo and Tashira sit down to name the transitions that come with big age—career pivots, family shifts, health realities, and what it means to chase new goals when the world expects you to “settle.” They talk candidly about the pressure to have it all figured out by midlife, and how that clashes with the reality of constant growth and change.
The conversation is equal parts vulnerable and practical. They share stories about saying goodbye to old versions of themselves, finding joy in new routines, and learning to trust timing rather than force outcomes. Margo talks about wrestling with burnout while still dreaming bigger. Tashira reflects on how her definitions of success and ambition are evolving. Together, they point out the myth of linear progress—life at a big age is more like a loop, with curveballs and second chances baked in.
Listeners will hear affirmations for honoring their current season: you don’t need to justify wanting more, or less. You can pursue a huge goal and still give yourself permission to rest. This episode feels like a permission slip to let go of timelines, embrace detours, and call transitions what they really are: proof of life.
