My birthday hit a little differently this year. Not because of my age (34 is wild to me, I know), but because of the time I spent reflecting on everything this year brought to the surface for me. I took time this year on my special day to sit with my thoughts and I crafted a list of the 34 lessons I've learnt along the path of my life.

In this episode, I’m not giving you a highlight reel or a polished list of feel-good advice from my 34 years on this planet. I took some time to reflect on some of the bigger lessons that stood out to me, the ones I continually go back to.

I’m going beneath the surface-level for this one and sharing the real stuff — I've chosen the 10 lessons that changed the way I live, love, and move through the hard seasons of my life.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt behind. For anyone sitting in the in-between — where the path doesn’t make sense yet, but you know you can’t go back to who you were. It’s the episode I wish I could’ve listened to at 24. When I was trying so hard to become “somebody” that I forgot who I already was.

We talk about healing without closure, protecting your energy like currency, walking away from breadcrumb love, unlearning timelines that never belonged to you, and what it really means to become your highest self without chasing perfection.

If you’re in a messy chapter — rebuilding, rethinking, or just trying to figure out what’s next — don't miss out on this episode. It’s brutally honest. It’s reflective. And it’s a reminder that you’re not behind.

Press play. Let it land. And if something speaks to you, I’d love to hear it — message me anytime over at @thrivingbeyondpod on Instagram.
