Today is my 30th birthday. It’s crazy how old and far away 30 seems when you are 18 and graduating from high school.
As I reflect on my 20s, the biggest piece of advice I have for someone turning 30 is that you don’t have to have it all figured out. It might have taken me a few years to realize this but this thing we call life is a moving and changing situation. There is no right or wrong path or timeline of how long it should take you to accomplish a goal professionally or personally.
I accomplished more than I realize in my 20s. I graduated from college, landed a job in retail buying, bought a townhome, moved to Arizona to follow my husband, tried out another career in pharmaceuticals, moved back to North Carolina & now we find ourselves living another adventure in Seattle, Washington expecting our first baby in September. More important than all of that, I have made some incredible friends & have had supportive family along the way that have inspired me in different ways. I’ve had the chance to learn from each of them.
I am certainly not where I thought I would be when I turned 30.
