Feeling behind in life? Read this.

I'm shocked that this bothers women...⁣
⁣
TURNING 30!!! I just turned 30 at the end of August.
⁣
And honestly, I'm so excited to embrace 30! I've actually been telling people I'm 30 this entire year...something my husband (@fitnessshaman ) gives me crap for daily. ⁣🤣
⁣
Why do we, as women, believe some fallacy that there's a list of pre-reqs to turn 30??⁣
⁣
Nope, I don't have kids yet.

Nope, I'm not a homeowner⁣.
⁣
Nope, I don't have pets⁣.
⁣
Yup, I definitely made an entire career change and quit my "safe" day-job at 28-years-old.
⁣
Yes, I've got an amazing hubby, but Sean isn't the reason I am valuable as a woman. ⁣
⁣
F*** what society says you should be doing.
⁣
F*** expectations! Appreciate the hell out of your life, no matter where it takes you .

F*** "I'm so behind" mindsets. I hadn't touched a dumbbell a day in my life until age 26, I have zero business experience or degrees, and look at me now!
⁣
F*** "but my parents put so much pressure on me to do ____". You are the only person responsible for your thoughts, feelings, actions and happiness⁣.
⁣
What do you think my family said when I dropped out of grad school to become a Nurse Practitioner, and instead told them I was going to try and make money on Instagram? (mind you, I had $60,000 in debt at the time too...)⁣
⁣
And then only made $8,000 my entire first year trying? ⁣
⁣
Yeah, so stop making your choices based on approval from others. Approve of your damn self⁣👏
⁣
F*** "it's too late", you're only hurting yourself⁣.
⁣
I'm young as HELL‼️⁣
⁣
Barely 30% of the way through my life.⁣
⁣
I have endless opportunities and possibilities in my future, just like you!🤜🤛
⁣
I embrace every passing year and every passing day because it brings new opportunities to grow, learn, evolve, impact, mature, connect, and discover.✨⁣
⁣
You know what WILL make you feel old?

Watching year after year pass by while you're standing on the sidelines, too afraid to go for what you want... ⁣
⁣
Too afraid to deviate from "society's plan," ⁣
⁣
Too afraid of what others might think.
⁣
How about you start asking yourself what YOU think? ⁣
⁣
You as a human are capable of autonomous thought and belief. Consider this your permission to use them🙏
