TRANSCRIPT:
If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a bit, this is an episode I’ve been dancing around. It’s been on my mind since my 30th birthday last month.
In classic birthday routine, I was reflecting on the past year.
And it being a milestone birthday, the passage of a decade, I was reflecting on all of my 20’s.
I looked back on my 20’s and it made me sad. I tortured myself.
I think this is common because there aren’t many great examples of how to live a truly fulfilling life, and we’re spoon fed the idea that we need to go to college, get a degree, get married, buy a house, have a baby, while also getting a steady job, making money, saving for retirement…
It’s a lot of external markers that we’re shown as success.
Because of my confusion on how to make myself happy & what my life was supposed to look like, I had so many pockets of...
Hating myself, abusing myself, second-guessing myself, being unsure about my direction, and dealing with depression and anxiety.
I put myself through so much pain when I didn’t have to at all.
But just being on the other side of it & being so clear in my vision and clear of the future and happy with where everything is at and where everything is going…
It’s just so clear how much torture I put myself through that was really unnecessary.
And that brings us to the point of today’s episode:
Building a successful business on a f*cked up brain.
