Another Year, Another Transition: A Birthday Episode

In this episode of Transitional Objects, Bridget & Laura talk about birthdays as markers of time, of change, of who we were and who we’re becoming.

For a lot of people, birthdays don’t just bring cake and texts. Instead, they bring reflection & pressure, forcing you into taking inventory of your life or celebrating how far you have come.  

We get into the way birthdays can stir up unexpected emotions like why your body might feel off, why your mood shifts, why things you thought you’d “moved past” suddenly feel close again. The stories we carry about where we thought we’d be by now. The people who are missing. The versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown (or maybe haven’t yet).
