40 Before 40: The Comeback Journey

Welcome! My name is Jaymee Grace and I am counting down exactly 101 weeks until I turn 40 on the 25th of April 2028. To celebrate this milestone, I have created an intentional project of 40 life-giving experiences, active adventures, and solo dates.

For a long time, past trauma, low confidence, and fear kept me stuck inside my comfort zone. My mind and body often felt too physically and mentally heavy to try new things out of fear of getting hurt. But I know there is an adventurous, capable side to me that is ready to break through.

This project is my way of actively rewriting the script. It is about stepping out of my comfort zone, rediscovering old sports I naturally enjoyed - like golf, bowls, climbing, and kayaking - conquering fears, and learning to practice deep self-compassion through intentional solo dates.

🤝 How You Can Partner With Me (The Boundaries)

I am working hard to fund this list myself through extra school relief teaching shifts. However, a few supportive people have asked how they can cheer me on.

I have broken my list down below into 'Buy Me a Coffee Tiers'. Supporting in any way allows you to receive something in return to say thank you :)

Buy Me a Coffee Rewards (The first 14 people to support get to choose an activity I can add to my list!)

1 coffee: Receive a special 'thank you' mention and shout-out on the blog post/next adventure.

3 coffees: Receive an exclusive behind-the-scenes photo or video of me actively completing the next bucket list task (e.g. a video from the summit of a hike) + the above items

5 coffees: Choose which bucket list item you would like to support personally + the above items.

7 coffees: Receive a hand written postcard + the above items.

10+ coffees: Receive a small souvenir + the above items.

Please note: There are absolutely no hidden expectations or strings attached here. In the past, I learned to worry that support always came with a debt. On this journey, that old script is broken. Your only return on investment is watching me grow, heal, and reclaim my strength.

To say thank you and share the joy, every single sponsored item is dedicated explicitly to that person. On the day of the activity, I will send you a photo or video from the event, or a hand written postcard directly from the finish line so you can see the milestone we achieved together.

Thank you for investing in my healing and being part of my comeback story!
