For some of us 30 is a new era of self-discovery and for others comes the sad realization that you’ll never be your younger self again. On this episode, we chat about the impacting opinions of others, negative self-talk, the many phases and fluctuations our bodies go through, and we unlock a NEW FEAR, the fear of turning 30.  But I’ll let you in on a little secret, entering your 30s is quite amazing!
