🤔What if you're not behind in life?🌍

For anyone whose ever looked around and felt discouraged seeing everyone adulting in life this one is for you ....

Hola Amigis 🌞

We’re back on a roll, and this week’s pondering is simple but hopefully get you thinking bigger:

What if you’re not behind, but exactly where you need to be?

I know—sounds optimistic, right? But let’s be real: the feeling of “being behind” is universal. That creeping sense that *everyone else* is hitting life milestones while you're… floating, floundering, or forging your own weird, beautiful, unconventional path.

But here’s the truth: you are creating your own path

And that takes time, intention, and so much courage.

🌱 Your Timeline Isn’t Broken

Maybe you’re the one breaking generational cycles, redefining what stability means, or choosing healing over hustle.

Maybe you’ve chosen a career over kids for now or forever.

Maybe you’ve gone full nomad (hi, let’s be friends) instead of planting roots in a house with a picket fence.

Or maybe you have followed the expected timeline… but it doesn’t feel aligned.

That’s valid, too.

The point is: different doesn’t mean wrong.

🧠 Shifting Out of “WTF Am I Doing?

This episode is for anyone who’s felt the existential

“What the fuck am I doing?” moment.

If you've been spiraling in comparison watching people get engaged, buy homes, build families or six-figure careers while you're just trying to figure out what to eat for dinner… this is for you.

We’re moving from:

Woe is me ➡️ Bold Next Steps Forward

We’re talking:

- Perspective shifts that actually help

- How to embrace your timeline not the one Instagram and society feeds you

- Stepping into that ✨delulu energy✨ but grounded with purpose

- Asking yourself: What do I truly want vs. what I’ve been taught to want?

So tune in on youtube and anywhere you listen to podcasts!
