At 30, I had zero dollars saved, no career. A body I didn't recognize and I was single. I'm 33 now. Let me tell you what happens. Hey there, I'm Shane and welcome to confession of a little more. Here are my credentials. I was the girl that no one looked at twice until literally last year. Well, everyone else was in their Hall of Glory era at 20s. I was feeling insecure trying so many identities to figure out what Shane looked like and was just not comfortable on my skin. The weight loss, the nose job and internal glow up, all came way later than I wanted it to. In true light glower fashion. And the biggest thing that felt my internal glow up was becoming comfortable being alone, which I didn't learn until my 30s needs to be solved. But the one that still sends me into a MTB spiral is I'm 33 in the starting over. She's back in grad school while her friends are getting promoted to senior roles or buying home and I'm just out here racking up the dust. So, it's safe to say my finances don't look like anything I thought they would buy now. And I know what you're about to say, screw the timelines we're all on our own journey, but when you're home alone, I'm 1000000 looking at your bank statement. We get another. Thank you for applying, but at this time email followed by an engagement announcement. You just can't help but feel like you've done something wrong. But someone who is secretly obsessed with successful Girl is in the uncomfortable figure it out part right now. And the goal isn't to quote on-quote figure it all out cuz like isn't something you figure out. It's constantly evolving. I'm just hoping to build a more solid foundation. AK can we just not be broke for a second please? So this is confession of a late bloomer. Meet the community the glow up, the rebound, the powering it all out at 33. If any of the sounds like you, you're in the right place. And PS, this was very raw and vulnerable of me. So if that's the type of content you want to see. Follow for more because vulnerability and reality is one thing I'll promise you.
