71. When Did Wanting More in Life Start Feeling Wrong? | Life in Your 30s


Listen Later

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how the desire to grow, change, or dream bigger somehow gets heavier as we get older — especially in our 30s. The expectations, the timelines, the pressure to “have it all figured out”… it can make you feel selfish or unrealistic for wanting something different at this age.

In this episode, we talk about why life doesn’t move in a straight line, how everyone’s timeline looks different, and why it’s actually okay to want more no matter where you’re at right now. I share real-life reflections, the fear of taking risks, and what it means to choose yourself without guilt.

Consider this episode your permission slip to want more in life, and to put your own needs first 🧡
