    When I turned 30 two years ago, a lot of good changes happened that also, oddly, was paired with a lot of sadness. I was really lost, and even depressed, and I grew frustrated with myself. Change is difficult, but here’s how to rethink change and be excited to change your life. If you’re in a season of life where you feel like you have to start over or you’re literally back to “square one”, just remember that you’re never FULLY starting over, because now you get to start from experience :)

    This is so comforting, Maya. I'm also a teacher, but I'm from the Philippines. I'm married with no kids and I'll be turning 40 in 2 years, but it always feels like I'll turn 30 yet again. Thank you. Your videos are so heartwarming and inspiring ❤

    I love this, Maya. Thank you for allowing us to experience your transformation over the years. I am believing in God for our "now" and trusting Him with our "next". 😊

    I’m 38 and have also started over, I suppose closer to 40 than 30. Walked away from a 6 year relationship. Had to leave behind almost everything I owned and truly start over. Thankfully I was able to stay with my parents for 2 years. New career/job this year. It’s well challenging. I miss so about my past work (but I’m physically unable to do that job). ❤ accepting these limitations my body has set for me post brain injury… ugh it’s frustrating but i have found a lot of joy in living a slower more intentional life I suppose. The Lord took my need for stability & routine and was like let’s mix this up a bit!
    Too many clicks in the editing. (Sorry just my feedback)
    Thanks for sharing your journey!

    When I was coaching my athlete at Crossfit. I told them you deserve to know what it feels like to not be given up on Monday after I watched your video Sunday evening! You are very inspiring and I think your honesty and kindness encourages a lot of people and God really doing great things through you! I start my clinicals next week for occupational therapy and I’m kind of nervous! I’m just praying and trusting that God‘s taking me this far so he’ll take me all the way if it’s his will.

    I just quit my job as a high school teacher after 7 years. I LOVED being a teacher but over the years it was so emotionally and physically draining and things kept getting worse (behaviors /demands etc), I couldn't do it any longer.

    I am leaving a job I held for almost 12 years on the 28th of this month. I decided to rest for a month or two. I am afraid to take this risk but I am tired and unmotivated so working in this situation would be unfair to an employer. I am 56 and I am quite unsure if I am doing the right thing. Thanks to this video. It’s helpful.❤❤❤❤

    Watching this touched my heart, Maya! I too began as a teacher and had similar feelings of dread walking into the classroom, and I too felt all the happiness AND sadness mixed in at my recent wedding! For me it was joy because I got to commit to my spouse, but sadness because of that reordering of priorities for my family of origin, and "cleaving" from my parents. I am now in the mental health field and am so grateful for the redirection, because all those difficult moments in teaching ultimately led to a much better fitting job. Thank you for sharing your story so candidly!

    Thank you for sharing Maya! I feel so motivated by what you have just shared. I am in the same situation, where I moved country to be with my long term bf. Lots of changes happened. I got married and I had to work in a different environment - same job but different demographics of patients. Your sharing has always grounded me back to knowing that God has something installed for us and we just have to trust in Him. Thank you!

    Maya, I've just started going back to school to change careers! I've been in libraries for 10 years, but I've decided to switch to early childhood education. I got a master's in library science, but I've kept getting rejected, even by my own workplace, again and again. So I've been applying to jobs and interviewing and working on school again, and it's so overwhelming trying to keep up with that, along with my health and fitness goals and my personal hobbies. I'm turning 31 in August, so this video is coming to me at the right time. I've been feeling so sick of my current job, even though I used to love it, and the change is scary, but I have support that makes me feel like I can do this

    Hi, Maya. Thank you for sharing this. I am in my 30s, unmarried, and looking for a job and it is all so overwhelming at times. I am learning to lean on God and trust that he is in control. Watching this video reminded me that God has the best for us and He is building us up in every way during these 'waiting' periods.

    The education field has become toxic for workers who have their passion exploited. Being in an emotionally charged environment w/ no protection or feeling safe leads to burn out.
    “Teaching” is a role that can take on many forms. Thank you for sharing your experience for newbie educators.

    Hi Maya, thank you so much for sharing. I stayed at my work for 15 years with the same feeling. That was waaaaat tooo long... but I started over at 40. I let go my boyfriend we where almost 20 years together and we lived together 14 years. But it wasn't right. But I was so happy. I lived alone for the first time ever and it opened a whole new world. Happiest time of my life. 😅

    Not sure if you heard my thoughts. I've been watching you since 2020, your morning routine. But lately I've watched a lot "starting over at 30s" because I'm too scared of "what if i failed?". i'm still 23 years old but idk why these thoughts came to me. but thanks Maya for the sharing 💓 you're one of my lifeline.

    In June, I left my primary job as a physical therapist which I have been for seven years now. I'm 32 and married. My parents are probably perplexed about me leaving the job considering the cost to get that degree. However, I paid my loans off in three years after lots of grinding 50-60 hrs of working in a week. I needed rest and realized maybe I don't want to be a PT the rest of my life. My husband is graciously very supportive despite our decreased income now, however he has a happier and more energetic wife now!
