You may or may not be surprised by this, however I am 63 years old and have been a huge fan of your channel for a number of years. I appreciate your inquisitiveness into all types of self growth and never fail to learn something interesting from your videos. Keep doing what you do. You are making a difference.
The one thing I'd tell myself is "relationships are king." When I die, I know all of those sweet moments will flash through my brain and I'm determined to have as many as possible.
I'm turning 29 in January, and I completely agree with this list! And def giggled and nodded over getting an air fryer lol they truly are life changing, aren't they?
100% can relate to the boundaries tip regarding people cancelling plans and consistently being late! The funny thing is, I think people believe it's okay to do such things because they 'have boundaries' and 'put themselves first' 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Oh man. You turning 30 makes me think of how long I’ve been following you! ❤ Happy birthday beautiful! So many wise gems in this one. To many more years! 🎉
This was such a useful video, thank you!! Although my twenties are nearing their end 😬 I’d love to see a video diving deeper into some of these points, especially: what you do you get better at & stop thinking about your feelings & bias towards action ❤
Best thing I've learned all year: Boundaries are preferences with "if... then.." I have seriously struggled to understand this concept for years. thanks
love this, so many gold tips! It's such a beautiful journey, and always fun to look back and reflect. thank you for sharing, wish I had known more about waiting for emotions to clear + how to set healthier boundaries with myself at a younger age 😆
Your videos are so helpful. I've been following you for a few years and every time I come back to binge several of your videos, it just strucks me how inspiring your ideas are :) Thank you
9:38 - Do you have any ideas of how/where to "put yourself out there", especially for someone who does NOT drink or go to bars? I know volunteering is one option, but any other options?
Do you have any interests/hobbies? I joined a book club and a French speaking group a year ago (both free) and I've made 4 friends that I now catch up with outside the group.
I think you had a wrong understanding of what boundaries are - they are not about others, they're all about the person setting them and what steps they decide to take when those boundaries are crossed, they were never about forcing someone else to change their behavior i'm absolutely seconding the importance of relationships though!
I thinkkk I have a lot to say about this but in general, if the world reframed boundaries as preferences there would be more ease with ‘setting’ boundaries without it being a big deal or feeling like a difficult thing - is what I was trying to say. The internet is big on promoting the idea that there are ways people *should* and *shouldn’t* behave in relationships that I think promotes unhelpful resentment / a lack of radical acceptance. That kind of conversation usually involves talk of setting boundaries. I agree with your perception of boundaries. I just don’t think that’s how they’re often framed and I don’t think that that’s the mindset they always help to create. To be clear though - I’ve never perceived boundaries as forcing other people to change 💛 not my bag!! Ps awake @ night w stomach cramps!! Not usually up at this time dont concern!!
I didn't really understand what you meant by number 15 "Don’t make things happen, let them happen", could you explain it further? Maybe with an example if you have time to answer :)
I love this. However, I do disagree with needing an air fryer. I am a nutritionist and never recommend them. Hear me out. if you have an oven you do not need an air fryer. Using an oven is marginally healthier than an air fryer. So an air fryer becomes a waste of money. However, if you are someone that deep fat fry’s all your food, then yes an air fryer maybe for you. Don’t believe the chefs and celebrities that tell you an air fryer is healthier, it is not, they are all jumping on the bandwagon because it allows them to either sell their own brand or create recipes around air fryers. This is such a gimmick object. It really is not needed if you have an oven. The research that was done on the health of air fryers was only comparing it to a deep fat fryer.
You’re right that an airfryer is comparable to an oven in terms of health benefits. But it saves so much time compared to an oven, especially for small portions. No need to preheat an airfryer, and it gets homemade chips way more crispy than my oven does. I only use my oven now for things that can’t go in an airfryer.
Well I live in Europe and I have never found a sunscreen that I can tolerate in the nearly 31 years I’ve walked this earth 🙈. So I don’t go into direct sunlight. Not that there is much in Europe anyway unfortunately 🙈
Michelle, you are praying and you don’t know it. All those “May” statements are requests to a power bigger than yourself. I can see that in some ways you are not far away from discovering the power of the one God. It took me a long time to accept him, especially bc what I thought I knew was all wrong, and most Christians distorted the true message of Jesus. No one teacher compares in sophistication, depth, and meaning than Jesus Christ. He created Life itself. Christianity has stood the test of time and will never die out. I will continue praying for you, that you open your heart to Him. I used to hate these comments before Michelle, I thought I knew better. I am sending much peace and love your way.
Hey! I was raised with religion and decided that it wasn’t for me for a few strong reasons that I still agree with today. I’ll probably never lean towards christianity but your comment seems like it’s been sent with nothing but kindness and love - and I love that christianity has had such a huge positive impact on you 💛 I am sending you lots of good energy!

I'm 35, and let me tell you why I absolutely love being in my 30's: we're old enough to have the wisdom required to understand how young we still are.
Exaaactly

I keep my sunscreen in my car because that is when I remember I need it.
So good x
Bird by Bird! that's fantastic, thank you!
I am really glad it resonated!!! 💛💛💛
Michele did you move? New house? Looks great!!!
She made a video once about her booking Airbnbs sometimes in order to shoot her videos there

Takeaway: reality test your plan. Minimal required action vs. ideal
I always feel bad thinking sunscreen mixes with foundation and then your skin absorbs more of the foundation ? (even if it's organic and so on)
How am I supposed to not react to my feelings? I feel them 🙈. Can you elaborate on that?
Don't let how you feel control how you act. You can feel them but don't let them consume you.

When you have kids use those early years to attend playgroups and meet new friends! Avoid working 5 days. Nurture your kids while they are young.
