i’m 32 and i’m not afraid to admit...
i spent 10 years climbing in a career that doesn’t fulfill me - the thought of continue to grow in it bores me
i am working through undoing the damage of spending my whole life as a people pleaser; shrinking myself and denying my own feelings and desires for the sake of being “good”
i am still struggling to overcome my scarcity mindset with money and constantly feel behind from not investing much/enough in my 20s & having major student loan debt we are still working to payoff 11 years after graduating
