The gap between our expectation of where we think we should be at 30 & where we actually are can lead us to a pretty dark place. Today - we’re going to tear down those expectations and get you back on your path, not the one you think you should be on, regardless of which milestone birthday is filling you with dread.
My guest today is Kate Berski - she’s on a crusade to
tackle 30-phobia after feeling the same wobble in her late twenties
but going on to find that her best years were ahead of her -
fulfilling relationships, growing a successful business that she
went onto sell for $150 million and finding true life
satisfaction.
