LI• At 30, I went bankrupt with my first freelancing business and burned out at 32 with my second. Part of me is scared it could happen again.
• I never wanted kids, but sometimes I wonder if that’s because I’ve lived in survival mode for so long. I fear that by the time I feel truly safe and change my mind, it might be too late.
• I compare myself. A lot. The fitter girl at the gym. The friend who’s wildly successful and 7 years younger. I’m competitive, and I’m learning to notice these thoughts instead of letting them run me.
• I have no idea what even the next few months will look like. I don’t know where I’ll live, how I’ll earn money, or who I’ll be with. And for the first time, I’m learning to be okay with not controlling everything.
• I love my freedom, but I miss having a partner. I’ve been single for over a year now. Some days I worry I won’t ever find one because I like a quiet life and don’t socialize as much anymore.
• I still don’t know what my purpose is. And it worries me that I haven’t figured it out by now… everyone is doing something meaningful while I’ve mostly just been working to survive. It’s my 2026 goal to change that.
• I never believed in myself enough to fully go all in. I wanted to be a creator, maybe a coach, BUT I always chose the “safer” client work instead. And I burned out.
So this account is me doing it differently.
Starting over at 33. Betting on myself for once. And even though it’s scary, I’m taking my baby steps. 🤍
If you’re starting over in your 30s too - with your life, your business, or your Instagram - you’re not late. And you’re not alone.
Let’s do this together 🤍 Follow for more:
