[Solo episode] Welcome back to "Through the Looking Glass!" To kickoff fall episodes, I wanted to kick things off with a personal reflection on turning 29. When I was younger, I had this vision of being a seasoned adult by this age, but here I am, still feeling like I'm just scratching the surface.
I share my thoughts on my childhood expectation of adult me and how that image has evolved for me in recent years.
I share my struggles with feeling like I was behind, and my journey with anxiety. In this episode, I reflect on my past and future expectations, impact of societal pressures on me, and the challenges I've faced in my 20s. Particularly I share the ups and downs of dealing with changes in your 20s and finding your place in the world. I speak about finding my path to being in tune with myself!
I talk about how my 28th year was a mix of surprises and tests. I share my lessons learnt on growing comfortable with external changes and changes with close friendships and relationships. I dive into situations where I needed to let go of people and things and how’s impacted my anxiety. Listen to the full episode to learn about how I tune out negativity and set energy boundaries to prioritize myself.
I reflect on achievements and struggles during 28 and how that has impacted my personal growth. I share the power of leaving comfort zones. I dive into how my go-go-go lifestyle led me to feel sad and drained. I acknowledge short fallings and coming to terms with societal and external pressure.
My quest to finding purpose and passions in life starts with letting go of perfection. I speak about my Virgo tendencies holding me back and how I’ve worked past my perfectionist attitude allowing me to take actions towards my long-term goals.
I wrap up the episode looking ahead on turning 30 next year and set 3 incredible intentions! So, here's to my 29th year—a year of peace, balance, and personal growth. I can't predict what this next chapter holds, but I'm excited to have you along for the journey.
