This is 34 ✨
I remember in my 20s the concept of being in my 30s truly blew my mind and was “old”. That’s the thing about social conditioning, especially for women ageing. The pressure of your 20s to figure s**t out and get it right for when you hit 30. I don’t miss that mounting pressure I felt in my 20s where I felt like time was slipping past me every year, slowly building up as each year ticked full of complicated emotions. I now view my complicated 20s as the training ground, practice for the main event and my 30s so far have been by far the best years of my life. In my 30s I’ve really began to live authentically and understand myself, what I want, like, don’t like, what makes me happy, sad, inspired and not waste anytime on things that don’t serve me.
Chapter 33 did me well, my biggest growth year personally and professionally, big highs and low points. One thing I try to work on every year is my mindset and how I approach things, even the tough things that don’t make sense or cause pain. After the emotional outburst comes acceptance, I sit and think so what can I learn here? What’s the opportunity? During one of those moments my business was born.
Throwing myself into this year with an open mind, heart and gratitude, wondering what’s in store for me. Here’s to chapter 34, a year full of magic, hope, wishes, dreams, love, laughter lines, loss, grief, pain, anxiety, happiness and (hopefully) some travel. After all, isn’t that what this beautiful existence is about ✨
