From chasing red flags to ignoring my own needs, to letting other people’s opinions drown out my intuition, I’m sharing the 7 mistakes I had to leave behind to finally start living with more confidence, more self-respect, and a hell of a lot more inner peace.
I’m sharing these not because I’ve got it all figured out (spoiler: I haven’t), but because I’ve finally stopped pretending I should. This episode is a celebration of growth and self-compassion, with honest talk about how embracing your own standards and boundaries changes everything.
In this episode, I’m spilling the beans on:
💋 The only regret I have in life and no, it’s not what you think
💋 How I stopped caring so much about what others think and started putting my own opinion of myself first
💋 The ongoing battle with people-pleasing and how I learned to say no without guilt
💋 The mistake I’m most proud to have stopped making (I think)
💋 The long-term impact of not being honest with friends (and how I broke that pattern)
💋 Why running from your problems only delays healing, and how to face them instead
💋 How setting your own standards for life and relationships creates true confidence
This episode is for anyone who’s ready to stop settling, start honouring their needs, and embrace imperfect progress in their thirties.
