We've all been there -- whether it's feeling pressure from family to get married and have kids by a certain age, or wondering when you'll have your dream career. Society's timeline expects us to hit certain milestones by certain ages and those of us who don't? Well, we're often left feeling old and like failures. How is it that at 31 I sometimes feel like I'm past my prime and will live the rest of my life out as an old maid? It's because we tend to use society's timeline for context.

There's another way.

In this episode, inspired by conversations with listeners (thanks for sliding into my DMs!) I'm offering you 3 ways to break free. It's never too late to start living life on your terms.

This episode is sponsored by Scrumptious Wicks. You can purchase Scrumptious Wicks candles at scrumptiouswicks.com and follow @scrumptiouswicks on Instagram for more:

• Hand-poured soy candles with unique scents inspired by food, family, and South Asian culture
• High quality ingredients like vegan soy wax, phthalate-free and paraben-free fragrances, lead-free and zinc-free cotton braided wicks. 
• Soy candles burn cleaner and last longer compared to traditional department store candles which often contain paraffin, a petroleum by product. 
• Clean design fits seamlessly into your decor

My personal favorites? The lavender and sandalwood or ginger and saffron, but you really can't go wrong and you'll be supporting a female founded, owned and operated (by a fellow South Asian woman, no less) business at the same time!
