30 Lessons I Learned by 30

10/07/09

lessons I learned by 30 Tomorrow I proudly turn 31! Entering your thirties seems like a rite of passage. The reality of doing so is shaped by your perception. Now, I can proudly share 30 lessons I learned by 30, but that wasn’t always the case. 

Like most, I spent the later half of my twenties in fear of my thirties and the first six months of my thirties in mourning. From the age of 25, every birthday felt like a ticking time bomb. When 30 approached, I thought my life was over. Strange, because if I had chosen to embrace my thirties, I would have seen that my life was just beginning. 

Today, I feel better than ever. Moreover, I’m truly amazed by how far I’ve come in the past six months. In celebration, I thought I’d share some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

26. Do something for the greater good

27. Create a vision board

28. Love fearlessly

As a full-time working mom with no nanny or family As a full-time working mom with no nanny or family nearby, my mom crew saved me this week. 

It was the first week of Summer break, our usual sitter is away all Summer and most camps haven't started yet. I needed childcare while I worked. 

My mom friends came through. They hosted playdates, shared their nannies and sent me information about classes their kids were doing so I could piece together an active and engaging week for Valentina before her camp starts next week. 

Next year I will hopefully plan better but this week reminded me of how grateful I am to have these friends. 💚💋💕
