Our Story

Once upon a time, in the midst of her 49th year, Shennice Cleckley embarked on a mission that would soon become the heart and soul of "dear forties,." With a nurturing spirit that radiated warmth and an infectious sense of excitement for life, Shennice had an epiphany. She looked around and realized that many of her friends were about to step into their forties without a clue about what to expect. It was as if they needed an aging version of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" for this new phase of life.


This realization was the spark that ignited the "Dear Forties" podcast. Shennice, now 49 herself, felt a calling to share the wisdom she had gained and the truths she had discovered during her forties. It was about more than just doling out advice; it was about creating a community, a space where people wouldn't feel alone or isolated while navigating the sometimes tumultuous waters of their forties.


In "dear forties," Shennice and her special guests would not simply dole out advice but share real, unfiltered stories about the challenges, joys, and surprises that come with this age. Shennice was determined to peel back the curtain and reveal those life lessons that your mama might have missed or forgotten to tell you about.


And so, "dear forties," was born, a movement dedicated to helping people embrace and thrive in their forties, to laugh and learn from the experiences of Shennice and her guests, and to remind everyone that they were not alone in this thrilling, confusing, and transformative adventure called life in your forties.
