Caryn!! I love this so much. It sounds like you’re realizing the psychological benefits of stepping into your own, choosing the societal games you wanna play (or not), designing your life according to your own priorities, in a manner that is usually reserved for people in midlife. It makes me so happy to think you’re, what, giving yourself 20 more years of authentic life? And it’ll still get easier over time. How amazing and exciting. ✨ Sorry we didn’t get to meet in NYC, but if you’re ever in the Canaries… 🤗 and have fun in Peru!!
So much resonance with this and the small votes of your values and the life you’re building Caryn. I also want to still be fashionable while having dominantly comfortable clothes that make feel natural. I’m also going through a similar conundrum with my mom atm where I want to throw away my makeup bag I never use, yet I schlep it across the world with me just in case I feel like it’ll be necessary to fit in and have some nice extra boost of confidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you for this reflection! I am heading to Peru next week and I think I won't be bringing my makeup. I am giving my mum a few unopened ones too. What clothing brands have you found to straddle the comfort yet fashionable duo? I like Cos and would love to add to my repetoire by hearing your recs

"Now I see myself drawn to others who live in the quiet yet powerful self-knowing in line with my own unfolding." I agree, and I love this for you.
Love this!
