This is 40 … When are you in the prime of life? Most would say your youthful 20s. But according to 39-year-old Brittany Allyn, it really begins at the age of 40. Brittany explains her theory in an Instagram reel, which has gone viral. She says when you’re 20, you've only been out of your teens for two years, so you're a baby adult. That would mean you don't reach 18, legal adulthood, until 38. By then, you're starting to feel a little more grounded and clear about who you are.
"We're told life peaks in our twenties, but if you look at it through the lens of adult years, you're really just learning to walk emotionally," she says. "I spent my thirties building, healing, and becoming, but I want my forties to feel like a deep exhale. This is the decade I get to live in everything I've worked for. And I'm excited to show other women that it only gets better from here.”
