This is 50

Kirk Sheppard is turning 50 and reckoning with a lifetime of hiding, control, and desperately wanting to be seen—on his own terms.

This podcast follows his threshold year: separating what to keep from what to leave behind. Featuring "Under the Hood" self-care check-ins (car metaphors for inner work), "Worth the Read" book discussions, and "Walk Me Through It" conversations with others navigating their own thresholds—plus honest reflections on vulnerability, therapy, creativity, and the terrifying prospect of dancing in public.

This isn't a guide. It's a journey. You're invited to ride along.
