Turning 40 can feel like the greatest dread in a woman's life, but Khloé Kardashian has done a lot to reframe our perspective on this remarkable birthday. This week, on June 26, on the podcast, our beloved host celebrates her 41st birthday in style. Beginning in her 39th year, Khloé started talking about her 40s as a fresh new start and about how this was going to be her decade, and in doing so, has helped a lot of women move beyond dreading this age to embracing it. This week's podcast discusses the emotional work required to reach a space of healing, allowing for the embrace of new adventures. It also explores how different the podcast would have been had she done it a decade earlier. Finally, a big surprise mid-podcast occurs when her children join her to celebrate her birthday.
You must take time to heal the wounds of the past before you can move forward
Our favorite host, Khloé Kardashian, delves deeply into the need to heal from our past in order to create space for future endeavors. If you feel like your self-esteem has taken a hit from life, then know that you are not alone. Khloé candidly discusses how the trials and tribulations of her thirties really affected her self-esteem, and that this situation does not fix itself. Whether it means going to the gym, journaling, going to therapy, or taking time out for yourself, our host emphasizes the need to 'do the work. ' On any healing journey, some or all of these components will be necessary in order to create space for the new to emerge. The truly relieving thing about Khloé's approach to turning 41 is that she really loves her 40s, and this creates space for all women to embrace a decade that used to carry shame for many.
The podcast would have been so different if it had happened a decade earlier
Khloé takes time out to reflect on how different the podcast would have been had she done it a decade earlier. She discusses how it would not necessarily have been better or worse, just different. The timing has allowed for a different focus for the podcast with a much calmer energy. Khloé ponders the fact that the podcast would have been way more chaotic had it happened ten years earlier. The wisdom that comes from heartbreak, trauma, and motherhood means that the podcast has taken a very different approach than it may have before all of the events of her thirties.
The children surprise Khloé to celebrate her birthday
The lights go out, and neither the viewer nor Khloé knows what is happening, when suddenly five children emerge, Khloé is joined by her daughter True, her son Tatem, as well as her nieces Chicago (daughter of Kim Kardashian), Dream (daughter of Rob Kardashian), and Psalm (son of Kim Kardashian). The children have a mini dance party, eat popcorn, and join in the podcast to ask Khloé questions about life, her birthday, and a lot of silliness. This sweet birthday celebration reminds us that family is everything, and the innocence that the children bring to the show is truly adorable!
