Hey y'all, and welcome back to another episode of This is for Us. I'm so glad you're here with me today. This week’s episode is one that hits close to home for me. After asking for your topic suggestions on Instagram, one of you sent in something that truly resonated with me: the struggle of prioritizing your career and professional life when society pressures us to get married and start a family.

This is something I’ve personally dealt with and have seen so many women in my life navigate. In this episode, I dive into how to trust your own timeline, the importance of living life on your own terms, and why you shouldn’t let societal expectations dictate your path. Whether you're single, married, childless, or have a house full of kids, this episode is for you. We're all on different journeys, and it’s time we start celebrating our individual paths instead of comparing them to some made-up standard.

Key Takeaways:

• Trust Your Timeline: Only you know what's right for you. Don’t force anything because you think it’s “normal” or what society expects.

• Live for Yourself: Pursue your own dreams and build a life you love. If someone comes along who adds to that, great—but you don’t need to rely on anyone else to create the life you want.

• No Decision is Wrong: Every choice we make builds the life we're meant to live. There’s beauty in learning from every experience, even those that don’t turn out the way we expected.

• The Grass is Green Where You Water It: Don’t compare your life to someone else’s. Focus on making your life as fulfilling as possible, right where you are.
