You may already have ideas for your strength/mobility, but if you don't I highly recommend Megan Dahlman's programs to you. I am your age and tend to handle things similarly to you. I started with her Jumpstart 30 program, but if you are pretty active you could probably start with Get Strong 30. It has lots of mobility and strength and she has the credentials to back it up. My back had been hurting me and when I worked out my knee would hurt, but she takes you through very basic and builds on it. It has been really helpful for me. Just want to share. Happy New Year to you and your clan ❤
Sweetpea. If you are turning 40, you are already IN your 40th year of life. A baby turns 1 after completing its first year of life.
I’d love the link to some of the educational resources you mentioned. Like MIT.
We fostered to adopt 3 of our 7 children. Being that 2 of them were children of alcoholics, we chose not to have alcohol in our home. Then one day I went to have a drink (away from kids) and felt the Lord say put it down. Not for you. Done! Don't miss it. Don't need it. Saves money too!
I'm 72 and don't feel any older than I did when I was 40. I might move a little slower :) , but still feel the same. Have a very Happy New Year!
I didn’t plan to stay for the full video, but your last point was especially great. That paradox is what makes you uniquely you and why I took notice of your content. So few of us can be summarized so simply. Fight against the algorithm! 😊
Angela: I haven’t had any alcohol since 1981 and I have not missed it (or desired it) at all. Good for you for choosing to give it up😻
30 and 40 is the age when you worry about what everyone thinks about you..by 50 you don't care..if you stop worrying about what everyone else is doing you will be much happier and successful
I am 48, and I don't care. I am not a people pleaser. I have to please God and keep Him first place ❤️
@savebees she has zero time to worry about what anyone else is doing. That’s not anything she is concerned about. ❤
@@shannongrantham813 I truly wish that was true. But when listening to her that does not seem to be the case. I hope everyone can find peace within themselves and stop worrying about what everyone else thinks of them.
I’m 37 and haven’t cared for a few years
I am 42 and I find each year I care less and less about what others think. It is so freeing!
Honey i am 82 and i don't feel old. Maybe because of watching you keep up the good work
Living in the gain and not in the gap. This hit me hard. I'm turning 40 in Sept. Now I know I have to live in gratitude and be proud of myself and how far I've come with what I've achieved. God bless you Angela and thank you for enlightening us
My Dad has always said, "anticipation is better than realization" 😂 it's (most of the time) true!! It used to really bug me, but now that I'm older, I realize the wisdom behind it haha
I really enjoyed and felt a connection with your video today! At 65 I am trying to figure some things out about what I truly enjoy so that I can find moments of joy and success in my every day life. I’m a full time caregiver to my husband with Parkinsons, have 6 kids spread out over the U.S. with their families and I’m trying out how to best do my 4th quarter!! I’m still in great health physically, but struggling in other aspects. We have similar interests and ideas. You gave me some things to think about…thanks 😊
I’m totally with you against the algorithm! I love to sit in my chair and crochet all day long with classical piano music but also thinking about how long I have to train to start rock climbing and counting the days until the next metal concert 🤭😁
I'm turning 40 this year too! Something I tend to look for when seeking general wisdom is whether other generations are on board with a concept. I absolutely love that your content, including this video, is resonating with many age levels. ❤
Angela, you never disappoint... Seriously!! I just turned 40 in August and so many of my goals and thoughts are shifting as well. I definitely do not fit into a box either... My interests are varied, and I think of it as well balanced. 😊 So many points in this video really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing what's on your mind, my friend! I wish you all the best for 2024. 🎉❤
You may not have a college degree, but you are one of the smartest people I've listened to lately. I enjoy hearing your various thoughts....I am not an algorithm person either!!!!
We love that you don’t fit in a mold. Toss it off. We all love you !
Great video. I just turned 70 2 days ago, and I DON'T feel old! Be good to yourself. Everything in moderation has always been motto.
Yes!! I love the paradox. Thanks for always pushing back! ❤️
I have always loved these types of videos from you. Screw the expectations of you, the boxes people put you in. Love you!
The variety of your channel is what makes it so much fun! I think it's the strength of it. To heck with algorithms!
My favorite channel on CZcams. Thank you so much!!
I’m 62 and i get on the floor and get up w/o holding on to anything!😳. Someone told me being able to do it is a good sign for mobility longevity. So far so good! Such a great video. Thank you for your thoughts.
Thank you! This resonates with me. Keep the videos coming.
One of my favorite videos from you! Here’s to intentionality and pushing back against neatly curated boxes to exist in!😊
Outstanding. Thanks for making this effort to bring up the paradox and DIY university. Resonated so much!
Absolutely loved what you shared towards the end! I want to live in the “both and” too 💗
I really love this video! Thank you!
I started following you for homeschooling tips and then I realized your channel is so much more than that and I love it! I love that you can have a farm and also give tips about fashion and truly exemplify what a 2024 homemaker can be ❤
Praying you have a wonderful year! I'll be starting my 6th decade this Spring. Thankful for each day. I feel young. . most days! LOL Staying active in every way is so important .. . and let the little things go .. . Happy early Birthday!! I love being a young and healthy grandmother. . .such a huge blessing!! You got this!
So true! The planning is so much more fun. Also, I love when you talk about the reality of biology.
I enjoy your talks, tips & advice so much. I love it Renaissance mama ❤
Love the video, thanks for sharing.
I love it when you rant with such passion and make so much sense. You be you xxx we love ya and we all relate to different parts of your personality and love what you share with us. “Angela the Paradox” is my hero !!!!
love this! going off the "better story" -- i think it can be more than just choosing what story you want to make going forward, but also what story do you tell yourself. it is a very powerful exercise, in my experience, to examine the story that we are creating around the circumstances. for example, we don't know what people are actually thinking so we create stories to fill it in. This often leads to self-deprecating and limiting beliefs or assumptions about other people. it actually connects to your last point too!!
Floating between the lunch tables. Yes. I loved that because it's very me and that felt nice to hear that I should be comfortable in that. Another awesome video Angie, thank you!
Love your last point so much!! I'm also choosing to embrace the nuance and complexity of life ♥ I'm a stay-at-home mom who makes bread but I also love metal music, horror novels, and D&D! Many things can be true at once and it's in those places that I find the most joy.
Hi Angela, I so resonate with your last point of embracing the paradox! I love your viewpoint on that one. Feel like I used to have the same problem and it is very freeing in a way to hear the “you can be both…and…” solution from you!
Loved this video and listening to your reflections. Happy New Year - I hope it’s a good one!
Yay for 1984! I am turning 40 this year too. Going through a lot of the same thoughts. I’m one step ahead of you because I never had a single drink, but 3 steps behind because I’m in much worse physical shape😂 I have lots of work to do. Learning a lot from you. Thank you and happy new year! ❤
I’m a mesh of all things, I guess a Jill of all trades. Growing up on a farm and then living in urban areas for 20 years there’s a good blend of both worlds to be. Now that I’m back in the country building a farm with my family I am where I’m at my best.
Just because you’re on a farm raising animals and growing gardens doesn’t mean you should just forget about your appearance. For women we really need to feel pretty about ourselves and if putting on some makeup before cleaning out the chicken coop is what you wanna do, then go for it! 😊
Many blessings and Happy New Year, Linda
Always love your videos! I would recommend pilates for core strength. It is a game changer, it can really help reduce aches and pains. It also can be modified for all levels of fitness and can be done at home with minimal equipment.
Thank you for this video. It’s been on my heart to quit alcohol even tho I’m an occasional drinker. I’ve felt convicted for a while. I thought about it this morning. You were the extra push I needed. Same with all the other things. I need to start exercising, cut back on sugar, and I want to be on fire for the Lord. I too have thought about how I want to feel/appear when I’m elderly. Thank for this video and inspiration! Happy New Year! 🤍
Wow you are spot on with the overwork idea. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing since 2020. How weird!! I’m going to focus on that this year as well.
Angie you are my people, I have never felt like I fit in to any clear box so I love that you share all your different interests. We homestead but don’t fit the typical archetype at all. I watch homesteading content and skincare content back to back most days. I believe differences and complexities should be celebrated and embraced. Also you have a pole dancing mouse in your office so if I was ever in any doubt of you were my people that cleared it up 😂
Thank you-love your videos. I am 62 work full-time as a paralegal. I have three grown children and two grandchildren. I went back to college at night and got my degree and paralegal certification when I was 42. Its never to late to start school! Looking forward to your videos for 2024! Happy New Years to all!
That’s wonderful! I’m your age with kids and grandkids too!
I love that you have varied interests! We live very differently (no kids, not married, no farmland) but I love seeing what you’re up to and into. Stay true ❤to
Sooooo many take away nuggets in this one. Thanks!
Angela, this is weird to say. But you’re like the mother I never had. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I pray that you have the best year ahead of you. 💕
Thank You so much for sharing your thoughts and wisdom with us!
I'm a mom for three little children and I'm turning 30 next year. I'm very inspired by You!
My ultimate goal next year is to become more calm person, to manage my anxiety better. Because also the thought of having regrets I'll be having when I'm older of not putting in the work - makes me disappointed and sad. (Hope I make sense, English is not my native language).
Anyways... Thank You! Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Lowering my expectations- that one got me right in the gut. Holy crap! I could go on a full research paper reasons why right here in the comments section but I won’t. TY for saying that out loud cause I needed to hear it
Yes!!! It’s like my life is a big game by of “expectation versus reality”. The expectation of things is better than the actual event
I just turned 57 yesterday and have a new grand baby due in June. So blessed!!!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautifully said
I would love to hear (if you are willing/able) how you use the Pareto Principle to make changes to your homeschool rhythm and also examples of rules to bypass decisions regarding family time, invites, money, meals, homeschooling etc.
This was a really useful video. Thank you.
Many blessings!
Angela: Having taught college for years, I would encourage you to take college classes, yes!! You don’t need to pursue a degree, but pursue your passions and curiosity with online or inperson classes. The advantages of classes as opposed to just googling what you want to know: discussions with students and professors that allow you diversity of opinion, conflict resolution, finding out what you don’t know you don’t know!! Education is far more than imparting “information”.
As a 42-year-old undergraduate student I can tell you that some (most) classes are very painful to go through. It’s just a means to an end for me- a master’s program. There is an enormous gap in life-experience and knowledge between a 20-something year old and us mature students. I wish there was a better system for adult learners.
I definitely do not get to have discussions that diversify my opinions.
@@margiestewart265 Margie, I loved having mature adult students in my classes because they enriched discussion immensely. About 80% of my community-college students were aged 25 and over; they worked, managed families and pursued college courses. In my state university classes, at least 50% of the students were 25 yo and older. So, I am wondering in what type of school you are enrolled, and if you are taking any of your advanced “major” classes yet? The only time I’ve taught predominantly 20 yo’s was at a private university, and yes, they tended toward naïveté or immaturity. Grad school can be much more stimulating and enjoyable, but that also depends upon the type of school and degree program!
@@margiestewart265 I am sorry to hear that! What type of college do you attend? Are you studying a major like math, accounting, chemistry, etc. that entail little discussion and much more memorization and/or application?
@@margiestewart265 So sorry to hear that! Hoping that changes when you enroll in your Master’s program.
I cannnottt believe your turning 40 ... Mama . You look very younger, You must be happy , god bless you. I also cut out alcohol starting last month. Im only 22 but i decided its not useful in my life. Also trying ro cut down sugar because I'm definitely a sweet tooth i crave alot of sugar ... And want to be mire healthy. By the time im 50-60 i want to be still healthy. Now is when it matters leading up to that.
Thank you for such a thought-provoking and common sense video! I needed to hear what you had to say! BTW, I can bake bread and change out outlets and light switches!😂
Angela, I absolutely loved everything you said! Every woman should watch this video! Thank you for standing in confidence in your own beliefs! This is the Angela I fell in love with!
We have a lonliness epidemic in America. (Some may say its by design- but we need to rail against it). Angie- I pride myself on the fact that at high school reunions, so many classmates, well, at least three came up to me, and told me how cool and funny I was to everyone, even though I was “in the cool girls group,“ I would hang out with every single group of kids in high school… My daughter turned out to be the same, thankfully. Angela, you are one of my coolest friends I’ve ever had.
I loved this one!! I totally relate to most of these. I'll be 40 soon as well!
I feel the same way about "living in the both/and.” I have varied interests and really resent being put in a box or category. I don’t see why I can’t love classical music and opera at the same time that I love Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hinder; I love looking “girly” with all the makeup and pretty clothes, and digging a garden. I believe that quality makes us more interesting, and that we can get along with all different types of people because of it. I do resent the algorithms, too, because they only show me one piece of what I’m interested in. We’re multidimensional beings and computers are linear. They're a useful tool, and that’s all, and I won’t be defined by a program.
Both… And… Love it! ❤
I'm late to this video, but YES to your last point. I complain all of the time about how social media has made us believe that we're supposed to niche down as humans. We're allowed to be passionate about more than one thing and explore life to its fullest.
Good stuff!
I'm about to turn 39 so I completely loved this video!
Can you do another homeschool video soon? And share what you're reading with your kids now?❤️
Well done! I say rant about the niche s and algorithym s...! I love your honesty and humanity! I say carry on!❤
Im going to recommend 2 books by same author that can change your life- #1 most success producing reads you will ever read (for your career, finances, weight, loss, personal improvement..) “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big,” -Scott Adams talks about SYSTEMS over Goals, building skill stacks (I have been buying this book for every high school graduate that I know). ALSO, Scott Adams most recent book, “Reframe Your Brain.” (this book literally caused me to click a switch in my head and never have another cigarette for the rest of my life after smoking for 25 years.) Highly highly highly recommend both of those books. Thank you, Angela, for this great video.
What was the name of the podcast that spoke about rules to bypass decisions- or would you make a video just on that relating to motherhood, homeschooling, homemaker, etc.
Many Blessings!
I can super relate to all of these and most of them are also on my 2024 (leading up to 40) list. What are the odds? 🤔 Thanks for sharing!
Btw, I have always felt that by not “fitting in” anywhere particular, I have a greater opportunity of influence… you CAN be both-and. ❤️
Yes to living in the both and!!
We are more than one thing! ❤️❤️❤️
Over time I collected 40 items, some big, mostly small, cheap, free, some from charity shops, some stuff I already had.
Anyway I gave a huge box of 40 wrapped gifts to my sister, 40 days prior to her 40th birthday.
So she can open one gift per day leading up to her 40th birthday.
It was fun for me and fun for her.
I am 59, and my 40s were the best years of my life so far. Enjoy 🎉!
I would love it if you would share the details of how you are going to get healthier physically. I’d love to follow that and do the same things.
Omg where is the thumb snapping emoji!!!!????? You are amazing and totally spoke my language for 2024!!!
Oh!!! The cycle comment…huge!!! Big decisions must wait!!
I am in my early thirties and I am already on the mobility train! Yes!
I’m entering that year too! In like 20 days 😂 I said this is my year. My best year.
I am a woman with so many hobbies and interests that I have never been able to fully fit in with a group or anything. It makes it hard at times because I love gaining new skills and learning all the time. I also was a floater and always have been. . .getting along with everyone and being around everyone.
Those memes r true lol. 😂😂😂. Love this encouragement. Ty.
I'm a floater, too. I like my nails and hair done, but I also like hunting and fishing. I love sourdough, but also like me some Krispy Kreme. 😂 I have made peace a long time ago, that there's not a category I really fit into. Lol
based on your last goal and the one about learning new things outside of a traditional degree, i reckon you may enjoy this book: Think for Yourself: Restoring Common Sense in an Age of Experts and Artificial Intelligence by Vikram Mansharamani
Never put yourself in a box no matter who wants it. You have many facets so share where and when you want❤
Don't be apprehensive about turning 40, Angela. The forties have been awesome to me!! I am almost 48. God bless!!
I'm 65 years old, have 2 sons in their 40s and am raising my now teenage grandchildren. I have more energy than all of them. I eat well, sleep well and have a homestead complete with a garden!
This video is awesome! Degree or no degree, you're a very intelligent and interesting person.
Can you make a video on things you think are necessary to teach your kids or moments to try to have or any advice for kids 5 and 6 years old?
Hi, I have a 5 and 6 year old as well! I try to constantly teach them the steps towards the next thing leading to more independence and self sufficiency based on where they're at. The moments I try to have (or rather not miss) are the talks and questions that show what's on their minds. Just soaking in who they are as individuals. I love seeing their wonderment as they grasp new concepts and ideas. It's such a cool age! Enjoy them!
"floating between the tables"...more of us need to do so
At the part of the video with the "both/and" while putting on mascara in leggings and hiking boots. 😂 I tell my kids to be a person of interest (homeschooling thing), which means explore and enjoy different things.
Is there a good Canadian equivalent for Rocket Money?
I know how to do both and when I feel like it I do both :D
Every dollar budget app is free!!!
That's true with algorithms. I love the idea of being a full person
Isn't it wild they are remaking mean girls ... What I think of when you say lunch room separation
"Rage against the algorithm" should be the motto of 2024 😄
Be yourself. That’s why I like you.
We are at the same age, I've had a lot of the same thoughts as I approach my 40s.
You are my new favorite CZcams person... I make bread and can and get into productivity content AND home decor and makeup and fashion and drawing. I'm an feminist and an old fashioned feminine girly, I believe I am equal but very different than my husband and I'm happy to know he is stronger than me but sucks at multitasking. Vive le difference...
PREACH!!! 💗
BSF International is an awesome study above and beyond any other literary study. I invite you to focus your education in this direction.
Yesssss you and I are ridiculously similar. But you may be more fun haha . I used to be fun though. I want to be that way again ❤
Thank you Angela for sharing! You always crack me up 😆 yea rage agaist algorithms and the cave women thing 😅and about thinking about a big decision for a full cycle, I shall apply this to my life 😃 I’m going to try to lower my expectations of everyone, including myself, because you’re so right, it steals the joy.
I think 40 is a really important birthday, I too will be 40 this year, it's kind of a turning point, your not old so you definitely should not think of yourself that way, however you should by now definitely be in a much more mature, stable, and established mindset, much more confident in who you are as a person🤍🤍🤍 Just my opinion no one has to agree 😊
I turn 40 on January 18th. Yay, 1984 babies!
Babies you are!
Best physical condition in my life was starting age 40… not to mention the fullfillment and “drive,” (wink 😉 wink) in the bedroom went through the roof! 💃🏼
