Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me. This week I'm turning 36 and that puts me closer to 40 than it does to 30.
How is that possible? I feel like I can't be older than 26. For my birthday I knew I wanted to incorporate a fun podcast episode using the number 36 and so I put out the vote to all of you and although you were absolutely no help at all so...
since all of the four ideas were so close in vote totals by the end, there was one that had literally one more vote than all the others. And that was 36 things I want to do in my 36th year.
So let's go. Hey there friend and welcome to the joyful flamingo podcast. I'm your host Emily Schreiber.
Schreiber, and I am obsessed with empowering women to tune into themselves, to zoom in on their own well -being. So in turn, they can lead their most vibrant, aligned,
and joyful lives. (upbeat music) I wanna create a tsunami of self -discovered, self -loved, and self -understood women to show up in this world unapologetically and joyfully,
and to pass the torch on. on for generations to come. If any of that feels aligned with your vibe stick around. I'm so glad you're here. Now, let's go find our joy.
Hey, hey, hey, joyful flamingo flock. Happy day to you. Welcome to the show. And a happy day to me. Well, not quite. My birthday isn't actually until Sunday,
but this is my birthday episode because we only come to you. you on Wednesday. So I feel like it's my birthday week. It's totally a thing, right? Here we are in my birthday week. And first of all, you know,
I got to say really truly, thanks for nothing. I'm joking. I was actually quite overwhelmed with the amount of responses and votes on my Instagram when I asked you to help me decide,
you know, which of these podcast themes should we go with for my 36th birthday? birthday? Then I started getting stressed out because all the votes were coming in and they were all equal. Like literally they would go up in increments of one and one and one and then they'd all go back to equal again.
And then I'm like, oh gosh, how am I gonna choose? Everybody wants different things. But then there was in the very last minute that the poll was up. Well, I say minute, it was probably like the very last hour.
One theme surpassed all the other. by like one or two votes. It was very, very close. But I thought, OK, that's the one I'm going with now. It looks like I've got some other episode ideas to put in the queue for the upcoming quarters.
Well, as I do my planning, so I guess you did help. But man, I was stressed out for a little while there. The one that we're focusing on today is the idea of 36 things that I want to do in my 36th year.
And this idea. idea was inspired by a friend of mine her name is Eva and she did something similar hers was a list of 30 things to do before 30. It was so amazing to see her knock off all those things throughout the year and then she posted a picture of herself a year apart basically from each other and her list had been all checked off and accomplished and I just thought there was something really neat about
that. And so I thought. to myself I want to make a list like that I want to make a list of 36 things I want to do in my 36th year. My list might not be exactly what you're expecting so let me explain.
I feel like I've always lived life pretty fully you know when I was in my 20s I did some really cool crazy things I lived in France for a little while I then taught internationally in Dubai I traveled to it.
Oh gosh. I don't even know, like, 10s and 10s of countries. I'm not even sure how many. I camped with Masai warriors in Tanzania. I drank goat's blood. I visited the city that lies on two continents,
which is Istanbul. And I did some really, really cool exploratory things. And then after that, in my late 20s, I started to lay my roots down, you know, I bought a house, I got married,
I crafted my art as a teacher, I started to... a business. And now, now I'm in my thirties, I have two insanely incredible daughters and we've found a groove,
Mike and I in this whole parenthood thing, at least it feels like that right in this very second. Ask me in an hour, maybe not so much, but right now it feels like we've got a grasp on it.
But I feel like in my thirties, I've been finding so much joy in just one. really simple things. And as I started to reflect on that as I was writing this episode,
I really found that incredibly beautiful. Just like thinking of all the simple things that bring me so much joy. This list you're gonna hear today, it's not a list that's like travel solo across Asia or climb Mount Killy or,
you know, all those types of things. This list is filled with the type of things that... that are simple enough that we feel like we don't need a list for them. We feel like we do them regularly,
or at least we should, but we don't. And so we actually should put them on a list. Those are the types of things I'm talking about today. And quite honestly, I'm really excited to share it all with you. Do me a favor.
While you're listening today, like you take notes of any of the things that I talk about that you feel called to put. your focus on this year as well. Will you tell me what they are afterwards?
Maybe we could do them together some of them or maybe we can help each other accomplish some of them. I highly encourage you to make a list like this for yourself this year. Maybe do it right before your birthday too.
It's kind of like, I know we have the new year and that's where everybody makes these intentions or, you know, new year's resolutions or whatever they are. I really feel like your birthday is coming. of a cool place to do that because I feel like we get really contemplative.
Is that the right word? Or like we go inward right before our birthday, don't we? Or at least I do. So I really encourage you to do it. It was a really strangely intimate and calming exercise for me to do before I'm bringing it to you here on the mic.
I'm excited to dive in. Here we go. These are in no particular order, by the way. Number one, go on at least 12 interesting dates with my husband. Now that I'm saying that,
I'm like, it's not because he's not interesting. What I mean is not just go out for dinner with them, you know, maybe they're going to be day dates, maybe they're night dates, maybe they're overnight dates.
Oh, hubba hubba. Whatever they are, I want it to be something that we can adventure on potentially for the first time together. So, you know, we've got young kids in it. can be way too easy to stay at home,
drink a bottle of wine, watch a movie, eat a pizza together. And that's like our date night. And I have my air quotes up because like, although that's nice, I want to experience new things with this man.
We're growing together and we're sharing this life together. So I want to go on at least 12 interesting. I should So that's the first one.
Number two, I want to spend more time with my parents and my grandparents. Now that we've created our own family and, you know, we've got our young kids, just like I said before,
sometimes we get overwhelmed with, you know, the to -do list and the limited amount of time that we have to get it all done. I started reflecting. I was like, what's it all worth if you're not even enjoying your time with the people that you love?
the most? So I really want to be more cognizant this year of being in the presence of the people who came before me, who have so many stories and so much wisdom to pass on.
So number two, spend more time with my parents and grandparents. Number three, I want to lead a women's retreat. This one has been in my mind since the idea of the joyful flamingo came to fruition.
And I know that this year year is the year to make it happen. And I also know that there are some of you who have shown interest in one. There is so much power behind getting a group of women together to experience joy,
peace, health, and healing together. And so that has made my list. Number three, lead a women's retreat. Maybe it's going to be a day thing, a weekend thing, I don't know, but that's coming.
Number four, I want to bend. press my own weight just once like I'm not talking about reps and reps and reps I'm talking about one time if I can bench my own weight I would feel like the Hulk and I am in this era of wanting to be strong as fuck this show is labeled explicit so I am allowed to swear I really want to be strong like that's kind of one of my key priorities right now with my fitness is I want to
feel really strong. And so that number in my head makes me feel like, oh my gosh, I would be the shit if I could bench press my own weight. So before I turn 37,
my goal is to bench press whatever my weight is at that time. I'm hoping that I stay relatively the same way. Number five, walk 10 steps a day more consistently.
Here's a deal. I know this is all over the internet and I kind of hate that I want to be doing the thing that's also all over the internet is the 10 ,000 steps a day,
but I really truly love walking. I really do. And it gets me outside in the sunshine. It connects me with nature. It's a gentle way to love on my body and it's also a really easy thing to do with my family.
So it's like win, win, win, win. win. And I'm really good. I have an Apple watch. I'm really good at doing it like twice a week and being like, yeah, I hit my 10 ,000 steps, but I want to do it more consistently.
So that's number five. Number six, eat more protein. It has been a focus of mine for the past year, but I feel like I'm running thin on my ideas for how to incorporate more protein into my diet.
You know, I've got my protein shakes, which are great. I can open the fridge and pull it out. a slice of deli meat, but I'd really like to try and find some different options to add into my daily schedule.
And I find that when I do that, I have so much more energy and stamina for the day when I really focus on my protein intake. So that's another thing that I wanna do in my 36th year, eat more protein.
Number seven, this is a fun one. I wanna eat at a place that's called Au Noir with Mike. Mike. If you don't know what this restaurant is, let me tell you a little bit about it. This was actually the place where I confessed my love for my husband to my sister.
Not to him. I confess my love for him to my sister. We have gone out for dinner as sisters together in Toronto. It's a place called Onoir and it's this place where you are served in complete darkness and your servers are visually impaired.
So the experience is really, really interesting because you have no site. So you are experiencing your other senses at an enhanced version of it.
Right. So everything smells better. Everything tastes better because your site has been taken away and your servers lead you through your meal of explaining where your cutlery is, what you're eating, those types of things.
It's a very cool experience. At that moment, we were sitting in complete darkness. darkness, and I guess I felt very vulnerably open to share it. I remember saying to my sister, I think I might love Mike Shriver. The rest is history.
So as I was writing this episode, I thought, I want to go there with him. I feel like that would be such a cool full circle thing to do. Maybe it can be one of our 12 cool dates. So number seven,
eat at Oh Noir with Mike. Number eight, I want to sing more with Hot Hubs and his guitar. Music has always been a pretty big part of our lives and in the early days of our relationship,
we used to spend hours just sitting with each other and sharing new music that we'd found, like hours and hours of doing this. Also in the beginning stages of our relationship before we had kids and we had a little bit of extra time on our hands,
Mike played his guitar a lot more and friends, there is just something about that, man. voice that I cannot resist. And we don't sing often enough together. So this past weekend,
I actually was singing with a lot of my dear friends for one of our high school teachers retirement tribute. And it reminded me how powerful it is to sing with the people that you love.
And so I really want to do that more this year. I want to sing with Mike and his guitar. And I want to incorporate the girls too because they're Developing such sweet little voices, but oh my gosh.
I just you know when your kid sings you just like your heart melts So anyways eight sing more with hot hubs and his guitar number nine scroll less It's my vice when we went away on vacation this year I shut my phone off and I put it in a safe for the time that we were away and it was the best thing ever We used Mike's phone as a camera camera and,
you know, each night I would come back and turn it on briefly to make sure I hadn't missed any, like, important calls or texts from family, you know, in the off chance that something had happened back home. But then after I did that,
off it went and back in a safe, like virtually no screen at all. And I had this amazing conversation with my therapist when we got back, just explaining to her that I felt like it was so freeing.
To be away from people not. being able to just have access to you at all times. Although this isn't to do with scrolling because I shut off communication basically.
What I'm talking about scrolling is just that habit that we have that when we have a down minute we reach for our phone and I wasn't doing that on vacation because I didn't have it with me. So I found myself reaching for different things or doing other things and I just know that this year my phone is going to be used at certain times of the day for certain things,
but it's not going to be used as a go -to time waster in the depths of Scroll Land. Number 10, and this kind of goes in conjunction with number nine of Scroll S is read more because I realized on that trip that when I wasn't reaching for my phone after the girls were in bed or when I had a quick second when they were in the pool or whatever,
I reached for a book. book and I read fiction books for the first time in a long time and I forgot I love reading and I actually do have time for it if I'm not feeling that time with mindless shit so number 10 is read more number 11 I want to plant a more extensive garden last year we planted a bountiful herb garden we had a great crop but we like barely used any of it like we used maybe an eighth of it the
herbs because I remember standing at my garden box being like what am I gonna do? So this year I'm determined we're planting things that we eat on a regular basis cucumber tomatoes peppers arugula spinach greens and if we plant those and we're growing our own food and Planning it in a way that it actually gets eaten.
I feel like that will be very rewarding number 12 I want to have good old -fashioned dinner party I feel like our generation doesn't do this well, you know, whenever we spend time with our friends,
we go out for dinner. And when I'm reflecting on it, I'm like, of course we do, you know, we all have young kids, those kids happen to be sleeping at our houses when we're going out. We don't want to cook, we don't want to clean. So we go out.
I feel like the dinner party could make a comeback. And this year, I want to host some epic dinner parties. Who's in who wants to come for dinner? Number 13. I want to use my grandma's good china more.
So this may seem strange, but my grandma recently moved into a retirement residence. So she sold her house and I acquired a lot of her amazing things and a lot of them are kitchen based and I'm obsessed with them.
I have a lot of her beautifully detailed china tea sets and I never use them because I mean I don't really drink tea. They're beautiful and it's it's such a shame that they're not being used.
So in my 36th year, maybe I need to like, I don't know, host a high tea party or something, but I want to use that beautiful China that my grandma gave me. Kind of a weird one,
but I'm here for it. Number 14, I want to try that curl and tint your own lashes set. Have you seen that set on Instagram? I mean,
it must know. know that I don't have lashes that curl because it suggests it to me all the time. And it's true, my eyelashes don't curl. They actually kind of point down and they're also blonde.
So I really do need some help in that area. And every once in a blue moon, I remember that I should go and get a lash tint and lift because my sister is actually this amazing lash artist,
but she doesn't live in town. So I don't get to her as often as I'd like. So I saw this thing. thing if she's listening She's gonna be like don't do it, but I feel like I want to use it once like in in a pinch to be like does it work I'm so intrigued by it.
So number 14. I want to try and curl my own I told you they were simple things Number 15. I want to take a dance class again.
I danced as a kid not very well But I love music. So dance felt fun to me too. And I probably haven't taken an organized class in like 20 years,
but I feel like it would be really good for my soul. And I'm talking about one class. I'm not talking about like a weekly class. I'm talking about one. So I feel like that would be fun. So this year is the year. Number 16,
I want a kayak or canoe with my family. I love being on close to or in the water. And I think I might be raising two more water babies as well.
We have a gorgeous river that's like a four minute walk from our house and we don't get on it nearly enough. I mean, it's not a river you really want to get in. but it's definitely a river you want to get on. So I want to take the girls kayaking or canoeing this year.
Number 17. Oh, this might seem like a weird one. Get dressed more. This is actually a big one for me.
And I know it seems weird, but I've been at home for five years, right? Yeah, I've been at home for five years with my babies and I've still got one more year to go because our littlest doesn't start full -time school until 2025.
That'll mean six years. And that's six years of basically not getting dressed for the most part. Yoga pants and a sweatshirt. And that's it. That's like every day.
But there's something, there's something to it, isn't it, about actually putting on clothes that make you feel good and it makes you just feel like you're killing it. it at life.
I'm getting dressed more as a 36 year old. Number 18, and this goes hand in hand. If I'm going to get dressed more, I want to stock my wardrobe with quality classic pieces that are sustainable and ethical.
I've kind of slowly been starting to do this this year. You know, I've purchased a few higher priced items, but that are also higher quality pieces of clothing that I haven't really digging that scene.
Over the past five years, I'd say I've been fairly mindful of fast fashion and how it's affecting our earth. So I've been getting really good at thrifting, but what I've been doing is thrifting other fast fashion clothing,
right? So even though I'm saving myself money and not buying new, I'm still buying cheap clothing. I'm finding as I'm getting older, I'm wanting to shift away from having lots of cheaper choices.
choices and transition into having less clothing, but things that are staples, you know, staples in my closet that are high quality will last a lifetime are sustainably and ethically sourced and can be mixed and matched in a variety of different ways.
So if you've got any brands like this that you love, be sure to throw them my way. That's number 18. Number 19, I want to regularly sugar my bikini. line.
Oh gosh, I'm remembering in this very second that my dad is my producer and he's listening to all of this. So sorry, dad, but I do. I really want to sugar my bikini line. I did this once before for our honeymoon and I really loved it,
but I never really thought about doing it again until recently because a friend suggested the place that she goes in town that she loves and I went before we went away this year and I really loved it. woman's work is amazing,
friends. I'm still reaping the benefits of her work now, like three weeks later. So I am making a regular service that's being done. Number 20, I need to book a mammogram.
I've had a sticky note on my calendar that keeps getting moved from month to month to month to month. It's time. I need to book a mammogram. It's getting done in my 36 years. Someone hold me to it.
Number 20, I need to book a mammogram. I need to book a mammogram. I need to book a mammogram. I need to book a mammogram. I need to book a mammogram. Number 20, I need to book a mammogram. I need to book a mammogram. 21, this is fun. I wanna reteach myself how to knit and then teach it to my daughters. This is how it came about. A few days ago,
I was biking with my eldest daughter and randomly out of the blue, she said to me, "Hey mom, can you teach me how to knit?" And first of all, I was like, I have the coolest kid on the planet.
Like who asks that? And then I had to think to myself, oh, do I actually know how to knit? Turn it off. Turns out, I do. Well, I did. And I learned, I think when I was a teen briefly,
but I forget. So this year, I want to reteach myself so that I can teach her. And when I asked her why she wanted to learn, she said, Well, I'd really just love to make a cozy sweater. And that was it for me.
I was like, I am in, imagine a world where our kids make their own clothing. How fun. Okay. Number 22. 22, minimize things in our home. As we go through each stage of parenthood in this household,
I find that we accumulate so much shit. And my surroundings, my surroundings totally affect my mood. I don't know if anybody is the same way,
but it affects me. Since I'm both a stay at home mom and a work at home mom, I'm at home a lot. And this year, I really want to focus on decluttering many of the spaces in our home and minimizing the belongings that we have.
And the key culprits for us are toys, clothes and knickknacks, you know, kid knickknacks like what they got in a happy meal or at a birthday party or what they found on the road and brought home.
But then also knickknacks that we have as adults like that fricking an empty vase that sits there for nothing for decorations. My goal is to streamline, purge, sell, and donate.
Number 23, update my recipe box. I love baking, you all know this. And most of my recipes either come from my grandma and her recipe books,
or they've been passed on to me from a friend, or I found online and then I tweaked it to make it my own or whatever. And I have this really beautiful wooden recipe box, but it's a disaster. It's like so poorly organized.
This year, I want to update my recipe repertoire with another few key staples kind of in each category, and then organize them because I really feel like being in the kitchen is one of the things that my girls will remember doing with me a lot.
And I think that this recipe box will be something that they treasure, even when I'm gone, and I want to take really good care of it. it. So update my recipe box.
Number 24, learn how to make a fire and change a tire. I am embarrassed to say that if I was lost in the woods and needed to start a fire to keep myself warm,
or if I got a flat tire on the side of the highway, I would be probably out of luck. I have a very vague idea of what needs to be done for both of these things, but by no means feel confident.
in either of these areas. I don't know why these specific survival skills come to mind first, but I really want to learn how to do them stat. So learn to make a fire and change attire. Number 25,
continue focusing on my proactive health care. So, you know, in this year, because of the podcast, actually, I think I've been really diligent about proactively helping my health.
So that includes Cairo, massage, regular therapy sessions, naturopathy, and then also sunshine, nature, sleep, nutrition, exercise.
All of these things are incorporated into my lifestyle. And I feel better at 35 than I did at 25. So I know I'm doing something right. What I want to do in my 36 years, make sure that I don't lose track of that as I'm doing other things.
Continue focusing on that. Number 26, build up community for my family and for my kids. As they get older, they're venturing out into the world more,
they're learning new things, they're meeting new people, they're developing who they are and I'm starting to really see the importance of having an energetic, vibrant,
joyful, supportive community behind them. More than just their parents or their gr... or their aunties or their uncles I mean, I don't want to leave anybody yet like more than their family,
right? I want to create community for them of a place where they feel safe where they feel loved where they feel valued by others other than us number 27 Create a family set of core values So I don't know if you've listened to this episode But there was a parenting coach on the pod a couple months ago.
Her name was Jake light Willis, and she suggested instead of having household rules, she wanted to create a set of core family values. That's what she suggests you do.
And that your kids are part of creating that as well. I think our eldest specifically, she's five and a half. And I think she's at the perfect age to do this right now. So I want to do that this year is make a family set of core values,
which is basically like how we live life as a family here. Number 28, I want to perform again. It used to be such a huge part of my life,
entertaining people, making people laugh, singing, dancing, acting, being on the stage. I haven't done it in a really long time. And the podcast definitely gives that creative side to me.
But what it's missing is the like live portion of it for me. This year, I want to try and perform. in some way. Maybe it's, you know, public speaking on a stage or maybe it's, maybe it's doing a live version of an episode like a one woman show for people who live in Stratford or I don't know.
I just feel like I want to perform again. Maybe it's getting back into community theater. Gasp. Haven't done that in a long time. Who knows? But I do know I missed the stage. So I want to perform in some way,
shape, or form this year. Number 29, drink more. water. I am bad at this. Oh, I drink my green shot. I drink my fizz and my protein. I do those every day.
After that, throughout the day, I know I'm shite at drinking water regularly. So I think I kind of have to train my bladder for this one too. But I know it's a mess. That's number 29,
drink more water. Number 30, go skinny dipping with hot hubs. I mean... enough said. Am I right? Skipping over.
Number 31. Release some joyful flamingo merch. Oh, this one gets me excited. I have some really fun ideas of things that have been percolating in my mind for merch that we could launch at the joyful flamingo and I want to make it happen in my 36th year.
So get ready for that. That's number 31. We're getting to the end here, folks. Number 32. I really want to learn to like fish and seafood. I just really don't.
I haven't ever, like since I was a kid, I just could not. If there's something about the smell, I don't know. And it's horrible because Mike is the same way. So we are not seafood lovers,
which means that we never cook it, which means that our girls aren't exposed to it either. So I. I am determined, my family is laughing thinking it's never going to happen, but I am determined to find a solid seafood recipe I like this year.
So my inbox is open, ready for suggestions. Number 33, I want to attempt a no spend month. Have you ever heard of this concept before?
It's basically anything other than your monthly bills, your groceries, like your living necessities. you attempt not to spend any money on anything extra, anything else.
So no coffees and croissants, no new clothes, no services, no treats, no home decor, like whatever your spending vices, you get rid of it. I'm intrigued by this.
I think it would be a really good challenge. So I really want to attempt a no spend month this year. Number 34, I want to take more risk. I'm definitely risk averse.
Definitely. I think it's because I'm a chronic overthinker. But this year I want to try to get uncomfortable making choices that feel riskier to me.
35 go camping. I'm talking about tent camping. I am not talking glamping or even with an RV. I'm talking about real beware.
be one with the nature campaign. Maybe the kids are there. Probably not though. Maybe it's just me in hot hubs. Maybe it's with a friend or maybe it's in my backyard. I don't know,
but I do know that I want to do it. So go tent camping and then number 36. Again, these were in no particular order. So this actually feels very anticlimactic to end this one on number 36.
but it is what it is. So here's number 36. Focus on my posture. Is that weird? Maybe it's weird. I am Slouchy McSloucherson's over here and I know that my posture and lack of it gives me horrible back problems and issues.
I know it's an issue. So ballerina posture for my 36 year, that is number 36. Oh, that's such a weird one to end on. I should. have reordered it, but I told you no specific order.
I would go through and repeat all of these for you, but there's 36 of them. It's already been long enough. Go back and listen to them if you need to, and I might post a little recap or something at some point on Instagram.
But here we go. That was the 36 things. 36 things I want to do in my 36th year. They're not crazy, once in a lifetime kinds of experiences.
on this list. They're simple things. Simple things that can be done that I think are going to bring me immense amounts of joy. I had a lot of fun and I had a lot of deep moments brainstorming and considering all the things that I want out of this year for myself and for my family.
I hope there were at least a few ideas that made you go, "Oh, me too." If there were, share them with me. I'd love to know where we're similar or where we're different.
I'd love to know that too. If you come up with your however many things you want to do and however old you are list, I might just have to steal some of the ones you come up with for my next birthday list.
So share them with me. I really, really want to hear what you have to offer as well. That's it. That's all she wrote for today, folks, from one flocking flocky to another.
I am wishing you such a joyful day. Thank you for being part of the joyful Flamingo Flock. Until next time, when I'm 36.
