Transcript

Nobody told me that 36 was going to hit like this. I've been in office for a month at my new job and I just want to talk about the adjustment for a second. Because while I love my new job so much to have been grateful to have it, but it's also been harder than I expected in ways I didn't anticipate. Waking up early again has been a little rough. My sleep has been off and I think part of that is just being 36. My body responds to change differently now. It takes longer to settle into a new rhythm and I'm still in that process. And my office is not fit anymore. My body has changed a lot and I think that's just what happens when you get into your late 30s. And frankly, I'm not used to it yet. Some mornings, that's just a lot to sit with. I also haven't figured out when to work. I'm still juggling the job, content creation, contract work and those pieces just haven't all come together yet. Job in this market is a blessing, take that. We're also allowed to go through the hard parts though. So I wanted to put it out there if anyone is in their 30s going through these changes, you're not alone.
