Wrong! It’s *your* year! And we are gonna celebrate you, not just the number. Forget the mid-life crisis stereotypes and embrace this chapter as a chance to double down on fun, adventure, and all the things that make you, well, you. Get ready for some serious celebrating because this 40th birthday is going to be epic!
