I’m 35 & not afraid to admit…

1️⃣I’ve had products totally flop, and it crushed me. But in those moments I learned a lot about launching products so I could do better next time

2️⃣Posting on social media stressed me a little but I do it for the growth of my business.

3️⃣I’ve made so many mistakes while making products… even ones I’ve made 100+ times. I’ve learned not to beat myself up about it but it still annoys me

4️⃣I love watching animal documentaries then sharing all my animal facts with my husband

5️⃣ I’ve had some really tough battles with anxiety and depression, and sometimes I still have moments. But I know the only reason I made it through was God

... Read moreTurning 35 has brought about a period of introspection and growth. Many individuals in their mid-30s encounter similar challenges and realizations. It's common to feel the pressure of societal expectations, especially in terms of career and personal achievements. Entrepreneurs often experience highs and lows, and learning from product failures is crucial in fostering resilience. Alongside professional hurdles, mental health issues like anxiety and depression can creep in. Many people find strength through community and spirituality. Whether it’s through support groups, therapy, or personal reflection, acknowledging these battles can lead to healing. Sharing experiences online can help connect with like-minded individuals. Documentaries about nature not only educate but also offer moments of joy and curiosity, reminding us of the beauty in the world. As we navigate our 30s, it's essential to engage in self-care and cultivate resilience, knowing that setbacks are simply steps along the journey of life. Continue to embrace who you are at every age, share your story, and remember that growth often stems from the challenges we face.
