Turning 51 didn’t make me smaller — it made me clearer.

In this birthday episode of Pandora’s Box, I talk honestly about age, identity, and the quiet shame society teaches us to carry about getting older. I share stories about my mom and grandma, the women who showed me that age is not a limit — it’s a legacy. This is my first birthday without my mom, and instead of shrinking, I chose to show up louder, truer, and fully myself.

We talk about:

• Why age is just a chapter, not a sentence

• How society gets age completely wrong

• What it means to stop hiding who you are

• And why every year you’re still here is something to celebrate

If you’ve ever felt pressure to downplay your age, your story, or your joy — this one’s for you.

Until next time. Say the weird thing. Say it loud.
This is Pandora’s Box — and I’m just fucking Joy.
