THINK CONNECTION IS THE NEW CONFETTI? 🎊

As a fun, #onherterms-y way to celebrate my upcoming 40th, I’ve been hosting 40 real-time reconnection calls with friends, fam, clients, classmates... even a fave college professor and a digi-friend I'd only ever passed in the FB hallways.

I call it the Sparky 40 Project.

Each convo = lighting a candle on the cake. 🎂

So far: almost 30 down, 10ish to finish.

I’m extending the timeline through mid-August (bc Maycember is real), but honestly?

Low-stakes, agenda-free reconnection is a practice I'd like to maintain, indefinitely.

I could record a whole series on what this has stirred up, but for now we’ll start with an audio overview with a tiny dare for you tucked inside (like a color-changing spoon in a 90s cereal box):

🎁 The Gift of Connection: How I'm celebrating my 40th.

Explorations include, but are not limited to:

• 💎 Why your social circle might be your most overlooked legacy asset

• ✨ A quiet reason old friendships fade (and a simple way to bring one back to life)

• ❤️ How staying connected is good for your health and longevity #nanagoals

• ⚡️ A perspective shift to make birthdays (Mothers Days, Tuesdays) more enjoyable

• 👑 Why I’m officially done waiting to be celebrated

Listen here on Apple, or here on Spotify. 🎧

A BIRTHDAY DARE.

I've woven a simple challenge into the episode because I know someone's meant to hear it.

🧚🏻‍♀️ Somebody is gonna feel the nudge to reach out.

🥰 Somebody is gonna hear from someone they've missed.

⚡️ Something meaningful will come from all of the above.

Are you that somebody, {first_name}?? 👀

Let me know when you listen.

In either case: I'm grateful we’re on the planet at the same time.

It's not my birthday yet, but I'm already celebrating all of us who have one this year ;)

What a gift. 🎁

To birthdays and Thursdays,

P.S. Yesterday was my best friend Jadah Sellner's real birthday. If you haven't yet read her book, She Builds, fix that. It's one of the best whole-life (not just business) books out there. 10/10 recommend that you grab a copy for you and one for your bestie. 👯‍♀️ Report back.
