I spent most of my 20’s in school, falling in love, being insecure (about my body and talents) and carrying relationships that didn’t suit me.

Transitioning from your 20's to your 30's can be exhilirating and exciting all at the same time. Here are a few life lessons that I've learned.

I tried way to hard to maintain friendships with people who didn’t try as hard as I did.There’s something about life, with all of its twists and turns, that turns us into different people. For me, my 30’s have turned me into a better version of myself. Now I’m a confident mom who isn’t afraid of change (okay, well sometimes I still am).

After having children, I realized that I could no longer afford to pursue relationships that went nowhere. The free time I voluntarily gave up to spend with people had to be worth the time I was taking away from my family.

After having children, I realized that I could no longer afford to pursue relationships that went nowhere. The free time I voluntarily gave up to spend with people had to be worth the time I was taking away from my family.

My 34th birthday was last week,  I’m re-evaluating how I want to spend the rest of my 30’s.

  1. Move from passive to assertive. Stop letting people run all over you. You can still be kind & have the last word.
  2. Take care of your skin & invest in some sort of skin care.
  3. Don’t freak out about grey hairs. They appear everywhere, yes, even there. Cut them or pluck them.
  4. Pursue your passions. Is there something you’ve always wanted to try? Do it!
  5. Fall deeper in love (with yourself) & the things you love.
  6. Go on dates. Never stop looking forward to them.
  7. Turn your hobby into your side hustle. Find a way to bring in an extra stream of income doing something you love.
  8. Don’t be afraid of change. Change isn’t always a bad thing.
  9. Drop unstable relationships. Don’t pour into people who don’t pour into you.
  10. Try something new. Take a spin class. Learn to swim. Travel internationally.
  11. Take your mom’s advice. She really wasn’t out to get you, she wanted the best for you. In your 30’s, you finally get it.
  12. Set some time aside to slay. Be fabulous. Be that woman that makes everywhere turn their heads when you walk into the room.
  13. Dance in the car (or at home, in the shower, anywhere)!
  14. Share what you’ve learned in your 20’s with someone in their 20’s. This is probably the most important. Spread your knowledge to someone else.
  15. Know that your experiences, no matter how bad or good, do not shape who you are. Learn from them, grown from them, don’t let them define you.

Transitioning from your 20's to your 30's can be exhilirating and exciting all at the same time. Here are a few life lessons that I've learned.

    Excellent advice, no matter your age. I’m hitting 60 this month and making some of the same assessments as you are in your 30s… more power to you!

    Good tips, thank you. I’m 33 so could use this, especially No. 8. I really struggle with change.
