Turning 40: 6 Lessons My Thirties Taught Me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In April, I FaceTimed my sister to wish her a happy 30th birthday.She let out a deep sigh, smiled, and said, “I feel like I’ve been kicked out of the Playboy Mansion. I don’t know, sis. Turning 30 feels so serious. My circle of friends isn’t the same anymore, and there’s more than piss in the dating pool.”We both laughed, and I reassured her that what she was feeling was completely normal.
