Listen Later

In this episode of My Unaesthetic Life, we delve into the personal story of how the year of turning 30 was one of the hardest years of my life. I share my experience of how I thought turning 30 meant feeling more confident in yourself and finally coming into your own, but I quickly realized that in order to get there, you have to shed parts of yourself that no longer serve you. I discuss how my mother-in-law moving in with my husband and me for health reasons changed my living arrangements, marriage dynamics, and peace of mind. I talk about how my marriage started struggling and my health both physically and mentally started suffering badly. I also share my struggles with depression, thoughts of suicide, eating disorder, physical health and how I had to make a choice to either deal with my problems, express to the people I loved the boundaries they were crossing to me, and take care of myself, or physically get so ill I die or mentally get so gone I die.

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • How to deal with life's changes and struggles
  • The importance of self-care and self-acceptance
  • How to express boundaries and have hard conversations
  • How to shut down things that are not serving you
  • How to navigate difficult situations and how to make choices to better yourself.
  • This is a raw and personal story of how I had to face my struggles and make difficult choices to better my life and well-being. It's a reminder that even when things seem hard, there is always a way to come out on the other side.
