43. A Chat With Friends About Turning 30!!

Today we are chatting about Turning 30 because yesterday was my 30th birthday and I have a lot of feelings about it. I feel like I’ve gone very back and forth between being excited to enter a new decade and being depressed about how fast life is moving and kind of getting caught up in feeling behind or feeling like my youth is over. I’ve been chatting with friends who are in this same transition around this time and it’s always an interesting conversation to see how everyone feels, so I reached out to my group text of the 7 girls I lived with in college who have all turned thirty in the past year — I’m the baby of the group and the last one to turn 30 this week. And I asked them if any of them wanted to jump on the podcast to chat through this topic, so today I’m joined by two of my college roommates, Jordan and Libby. Libby works in the corporate world in Ohio and is expecting a baby this year, Jordan works at a non profit in Texas, And I am based in Los Angeles area freelancing in the entertainment industry. I’m used to mostly having conversations with others who are kind of freaking out about turning 30 so it was somewhat surprising and refreshing to chat with two people who are actually feeling really great about turning 30 and it was a good conversation to snap outside of my entertainment industry bubble and remember that first of all, 30 is still young, and second of all, aging is a really beautiful amazing thing. So whether you’re feeling good or freaking out I hope you find today’s conversation relatable and encouraging.
