#11 In this episode of the I’m So Grown, Shatiya reflects on celebrating her birthday in Africa and embracing first-time energy as an adult. From taking her first 16-hour solo flight, to experiencing her first helicopter ride, first safari, first time sand-boarding, and more, she shares how growth shows up not as adrenaline—but as calm.

This episode explores how personal growth changes your nervous system, why desire requires movement, and how choosing to try things for the first time can bring joy, healing, and expansion. Shatiya opens up about trusting God through new experiences, receiving unexpected support while traveling solo, and why fear shouldn’t be the deciding factor when it comes to living fully.

If you’ve been craving adventure, personal growth, or permission to try something new—but fear keeps negotiating with your dreams—this episode will encourage you to let curiosity be louder than fear and honor expansion without pressure.

Topics in this episode include:

• First-time experiences as an adult

• Solo travel and meeting new people

• Overcoming fear and anxiety

• Nervous system regulation and growth

• Faith, trust, and expansion
