Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming is a birthday aficionado who is dedicated to helping people harness the transformational power of their birthdays so they can experience more joy, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives. Growing up, Tamar had a string of happy, sad and terrible birthdays until she realized that having a fulfilling birthday was entirely up to her. In her award-winning book How to Have a Happy Birthday, Tamar explores why birthdays matter, why they can be hard for many of us, and what we can do to fully put ourselves in the center of our day. She has also written an accompanying workbook, the How to Have a Happy Birthday Workbook was released in January 2025, published by Date Palm Books.
I literally canceled my birthday this year - told everyone "don't acknowledge it, I'm not celebrating." But guess what? It didn't work. I still felt terrible.
In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with birthday aficionado Tamar Hurwitz-Fleming, author of the award-winning book "How to Have a Happy Birthday," to explore why so many of us struggle with our special day and how to transform that relationship.
Tamar believes birthdays are the most spiritually powerful day of our year - the day we began our physical existence. Yet about half of us are what she calls "birthday avoidant," either dreading our birthdays or just not caring about them.
What we cover:
Why childhood birthday experiences shape our adult relationship with celebration
The connection between birthday avoidance and self-worth
How societal pressures around aging affect women's birthday joy
Practical strategies for planning a meaningful birthday celebration
Why buying yourself a gift is an act of self-affirmation
How to use your birthday as a portal for self-care and personal growth
What to do if your birthday falls on a major holiday

I am so much more conscious of what I am putting into my body and I actually feel really empowered and good about myself by saying no to the foods that are not good for me. At Dinner the other night, my husband and kids kept asking me to try one french fry or one bite of their dessert, and I just smiled and said 'no thank you'.
With 20+ post partum pounds, I was looking for a program to help me. I was blown away working with Leah. I lost 9 pounds, felt less tired and formed healthy habits that are now j7st part of my new normal.
My whole adult life I have struggled with eating healthy, never really feeling satisfied and giving in to very unhealthy choices. Leah is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and support when it comes to nutrition. It is because of her programs that I am FINALLY eating healthy on a regular basis! I feel the best I’ve ever felt, I have more energy, better sleep, less inflammation, better skin, and a better mood! Not to mention, I lost 11 pounds and the weight is continuing to come off!
