30 Things I've Learned By 30
This is it. The episode where I reflect on three whole decades of wins, fails, and lessons — ranging from life-changing truths to random, hilarious realizations that hit me like a truck. If you’re a fellow overachiever, procrastinator, or someone just trying to get a grip (same), this one’s for you.
Spoiler: This episode is not 30 minutes, and you knew it wouldn’t be.
TOPICS & TANGENTS
— My YouTube lifestyle girlie era and how it inspired this list
— Why your body can’t tell the difference between nerves and excitement (because science)
— The life-changing power of “If you don’t ask, the answer is always no”
— How I would easily create a whole business around pubic hair design
— “Reach-out” vs. “reached-out-to” friends (you need to know which one you are!)
— Why rejection is just redirection (and why I’ve chosen to make lemonade out of bruised lemons)
— Why eating cheese when you get COVID is the most vile activity on Earth
— There are sooooo many more lessons in this episode — get cozy because it’s packed!
POINT OF THE STORY
What you’re not changing, you’re choosing. We have so much time, and you’re the one holding the pen — you get to choose how your story goes, even when life hands you bruised lemons.
