94. Personal & Spiritual Growth Lessons from My Last Decade 🎂

“You have no idea how good it gets when you finally stop settling.”

This past Friday, I turned 39—marking my last year in this decade and over 11 years on my healing journey. My 28th birthday was the moment I consciously chose growth, self-discovery, and spirituality. And wow, what a journey it has been.

In this special birthday episode, I’m reflecting on five of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned in the past decade—the hard-won wisdom that’s shaped me into the person I am today. These aren’t just pretty Instagram quotes; they’re truths I’ve lived through navigating sobriety, personal growth, and stepping into my most authentic self.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re on the right path or felt like you’ve had to start over one too many times, this episode is for you.

✨ Why the right teacher will appear when you’re truly ready (and how to recognize them when they do) ✨ The real meaning of “wherever you go, there you are”—and how it impacts your healing journey ✨ Why starting over is a myth (and how to reframe the fear of change) ✨ How to release relationships that were only meant for a reason or a season—without guilt ✨ The key to finding your people (Hint: You have to show up as your most authentic self first!) ✨ Why climbing the wrong ladder faster won’t make you happier—and how to step into your zone of genius instead

Whether you’re deep in your personal evolution or just starting to question what’s next, this episode will give you the insights (and encouragement) you need to trust your path and keep going.
