✨ “50 is the New 30 — And I’m Celebrating My Best Chapter Yet” ✨

Today, I officially turn 50.
And yet, in my heart, I feel as though I’m celebrating 30 — because this is exactly how alive, radiant, and unstoppable I feel.

Fifty used to sound like a midpoint. A tipping point. Something society expected to be met with shadows of nostalgia or melancholy. But I refuse those narratives. I am a rule breaker, a trendsetter, and this moment, for me, is pure celebration.

I love where I am in life.
I love every step that brought me here — the triumphant ones, the painful ones, the lonely ones, the exhilarating ones. I love the people who walked beside me, the ones who challenged me, the ones who left, and the ones who stayed. Each person was a sculptor of my soul.

Because the truth is this:
The biggest lessons in life come through people.

I am grateful for every encounter, every friction point, every mirror held up to me. I am still learning how to be better with people — softer when needed, stronger when required, clearer, kinder, more discerning — and equally, how to be better with myself.

Julia Castelli

So, this birthday is really a celebration of life — but also a celebration of you — the people who have shaped me, supported me, inspired me, challenged me, or even misunderstood me. You all played a role.

The greatest gift I hold today is not the things I have achieved — though yes, I smile at them:
✨ Two beautiful children
✨ A home I love in Wimbledon
✨ A brand-new car
✨ Over 70 countries stamped into my passport
✨ A life where red carpets, haute couture, and rare diamonds became real
✨ My first published book
✨ My first TEDx talk
✨ My podcast
✨ My voice speaking on stages around the world
✨ My mission helping people shine

But none of these are the true treasure.
The greatest gift is legacy — the ability to leave something behind that outlives me, something that sparkles beyond my presence — my book, my podcast, my posts, my stories, my tears, my breakthroughs, my laughter, my wisdom, my voice.

To know that my existence touches other hearts, that my transformation becomes someone else’s light — that is what makes my soul the happiest.

So if you are wondering what gift to give me… I have one request:

🎁 Help me reach my goal — touching 1 million hearts with my book
SHOW ME YOUR DIAMOND: A 7-Step Guide to Finding Your Inner Light

Get it for yourself.
Even better — gift it to someone who needs courage, healing, or inspiration.
Someone who needs proof that a girl from an unknown Bulgarian town can carve her destiny and walk red carpets with colored diamonds.

I’ll drop the link below.

So here’s to my 50th birthday —
my new 30 —
my most powerful year yet.

Thank you, God.
Thank you, Universe.
Thank you, my family, my friends, my clients, my partners, my community —
for shaping me into the woman I am today.

Julia Castelli

Let’s continue shining.
The best is not behind me.
It is now — and it is ahead.

With love,
Julia ✨


✨ Fifty is not an ending — it is a new dawn. Today I honour the blessings, the resilience, and the courage that have carried me here.
