More Like You is One!
October is a milestone month: I turned 51, More Like You turned one, and my memoir Girl in the Spotlight turned two.
In this birthday-themed episode, author Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming joins me to reframe birthdays as a personal holiday—a spiritual, reflective day that belongs to you.
Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming is the author of How to Have a Happy Birthday, an award-winning book and companion workbook, and a birthday coach. If you love your birthday, dread it, or feel complicated about it, this conversation offers a grounded way to plan a day that’s meaningful and designed just for you.
What we cover:
- Birthdays as a personal new year and a spiritual day that’s truly yours
- The difference between outsourcing birthday joy vs. taking ownership
- “Birthday Eve,” simple spiritual rituals, and creating a birthday altar
- Navigating expectations, surprises, and party pressure (including guest lists)
- Helping kids choose celebrations that fit their personalities
- What to do when your birthday falls on a holiday
- Aging, visibility, and shifting the cultural narrative around getting older
- Grief, heavy seasons, and how to honor your day when life is complicated
- Planning ahead for your birthday (like a real holiday) without over-engineering the joy
