Get ready for a conversation with three ladies who all turned 30 this year. We’re talking about milestone birthdays, and particularly sharing the lessons we wish we knew before we were 30, as well as the lessons we learned in our 20s that we’ll carry with us the rest of our lives. Though we all turned 30 this year, I hope this vulnerable conversation around societal pressures and the paths our lives have taken because of the choices we’ve each made resonates with anyone at any stage of life.
In today’s episode we’ll talk about Turning 30 and what that looks like in a pandemic, learning to love yourself and then relearning to love yourself over and over again, and learning to say no for your own healthy and safety.
On the next episode we’ll continue the conversation of ego vs. spirit, answer questions submitted to Morgan’s IG stories, and talk about our favorite quotes and philosophies we’re planning on carrying into our 30s.
