Welcome to This is 40!
Our very first guest Bommy Lee could not have represented the spirit of this show any better: she has lived all over the world, has had a very exciting career as a journalist at the International Herald Tribune, followed by a career in startups.
She’s also a hard core runner, and for those of you who identify with being able to escape for just a little while and run to clear your mind, this will resound beautifully with you!

Bommy checked all the boxes, as she said, fulfilling the traditional definitions of success: great schools, sought-after career, amazing marriage, great kids… so she wasn’t expecting her world to shake when she hit 40.

But it did. And she started “the questioning” or so-called midlife crisis.

Join us to listen to Bommy's inspiring voice as she explains how she brought down her very own life, brick by brick, and built it back up piece by piece to meet her very own her standards, and not ones dictated by society's vague definition of success.

Bommy also touches on so many of the pain points we can experience as women. If you’ve ever wondered how life might look if more women became career superstars while their husbands took care of the kids – Bommy’s that person!
