How do you cope with restarting at an older age. I'm in my mid thirties and I am retraining jn a different country. It is so hard to accept being so low and so dependent on others when I'm already in a more senior position back home.
I love this! I've been struggling with finding meaning, identity and purpose in my life with being a SAHM for several years and children now at full time school, I've been feeling lost on what's next. I've been looking into studying nursing but at almost 45 years old thought I may be too old to study and start a new career so thank you for sharing and reassuring me you are never too old!
Your voice is so soothing! I was so lost in my 30s. I wanted a relationship so bad and to have children. It didn't happen. I was in the wrong relationships where the guys didn't want kids. In my 40s I decided to do it alone. I didn't have time to wait for the right guy. I gave birth to my first child at 48 and am currently pregnant at 50 with my second child.
I too was married at 30 and we had no children. We tried. Then a divorce. In my 40's I really want a family and children. But heaven forbid I get that gift. I couldn't be a mom myself. It's hard. And you are an amazing and strong woman. I wish you luck, health and happiness.
Yes!! My mom just had a baby at 46, and it’s so clear that she was finally ready for a kid. She was never there for my brother and I, I hardly saw her in my life. But I am so happy for her to finally find what career she wants and to be with a man she sees herself with forever and a baby girl. She would tell me when she was young she always wanted a daughter. We’re really in a new age, with so much health technology, we’re a lot healthier longer if we make the right choices and have access to some of the technology.
I just turned 38 yesterday and it's my first birthday without both my parents on this earth😢 and I really wish I could call them and congrulate them and thanking them for everything.
I’m 39 and have been feeling a little like society thinks my best years are over when I hit 40 but I feel like I’m only just beginning. I’m in the best shape of my life, started my business last year and feel so comfortable in my skin now vs my 20’s. Your video has made me think differently so thank you.
Happy birthday! I absolutely love your messages. As a 32 year old woman in college, I agree. It's never too late and we are all going at our own pace. 🔥🔥❤
I'm 31 and also in college! It is always ok to learn and continue learning. A lady I met who is in her 50s recently told me that she wants to take some classes in community college someday. :) it always feels nice knowing that at any age its just ok still. Nothing is ever too late.
@@melissaholcombe3958 Curious how would you feel about an almost 45 year old in your studies, really considering going back to school to study nursing but worried about being judged for being too old by the 20 somethings in my class 😅
@@rebeccas7366 I understand exactly how you would and will feel, but it is important to go after whatever can better benefit your life and no matter what any stranger thinks you have to listen to your heart and know this is for YOU and we still have a future as long as we are still alive no matter our ages.... GO FOR IT and DON'T LOOK BACK!
Im in my mid 20, but honestly all I want in life is to live peacefully and comfortably near nature. Watching the sunset and going to a daily walk near a forest or mountains is my dream.
Life didn’t start for me until the day I turned 30 during the Pandemic. In this order: During COVID I honed my cooking skills, learned to read and speak French, Traveled to France (and French Canada twice!), changed careers from retail to tech (started working for a well known tech giant as an engineer), most importantly I finally learned to verbally set boundaries and make requests. And happiest of all- I met my now husband! ❤ A man committed to hard work & financial gains, inner personal growth, better communication, and building a happy family. All this since 2020! I’m only 33!
i saved and invested for decades to live a NOT GIVING A DAMN lifestyle! I'm 58. I don't work and do whatever i want. I do love dating women in the mid twenties and being their suga_daddy! Seeing them by the pool in a bikini is what LIFE IS ALL ABOUT! When they hit 30...time to move on. NOT GIVING A DAMN lifestyle!

I am 40 , literature professor from Serbia, very slim, no wrinkles at all, a vegetarian for 12 years and i look like a doll! I don't care about aging! I love my life! Enjoy❤
Im 36 single and with a 9-5 job that even tho it doesnt pay that much it brings me joy bc I love helping ppl out. Sometimes it isn’t necessary to make a lot of money or be successful at somethin to feel like you have a good life or that you have ‘made it’. Just be happy you have the necessary things and a little extra to enjoy life. Focus on your health bc thats the real wealth in life and find a purpose like helping others to feel fulfilled🥰
Hey there! I am happy for you. I liked the fact that you have a job with decent pay that makes you happy and stress free. Out of curiosity, if I may ask what kind of job are you into? Have a great day ahead:)
@@Nila0608 Hey thanks! Im a CNA right now and soon will take classes to be a Physical therapist or Occupational therapist. I work at a rehab center.. Its a tough job but very rewarding when you can help so many ppl in a difficult time of their lives.
I am 36, divorced with a 8 year old child. Still figuring out my life so I think we all were scammed by society that by 30s you settle down. We never settle in fact always evolve ❤ Happy Birthday dear 🎉
I don't think society tells us to settle down by age 30. In fact, it tells us to be selfish and to love ourselves, etc. Those things are counter to settling down. Our internal biological clocks tell us to settle down by age 30 😂
@@Fitmomlyfe. In the 70s/80s, a person will be settled in life with their husband/wife, and children by 30. In 2024 you have women in their 30s wearing cat-ear headphones and spending all their spare time streaming on TikTok. And men are wearing trousers that are so tight they look like leggings! The Western world is a failed society!
I'm 30 and I'm glad to hear someone else going through a similar situation like me. Lately, I have been thinking about going back to college or study a master's degree, but it is confusing. After months of looking for an answer, I realized that most of my motivation to study was to gain a better "status" in society. I thought studying was going to make me feel better about myself, but in reality, I was just trying to please others. Once I noticed that I took time alone to reflect and realized that I didn't want to go back to college. I want to keep learning in my own way: attending short courses, seminars, or reading books. Letting go of the pressure society puts on us is a good place to start if we want to create a more meaningful life.
Your video got recommended to me and honestly I need this lesson. I’m turning 38 this year and I feel so panic about not being married or having children yet. I keep thinking I’m so behind. I loved your energy and spirit. The best is yet to come 💜💜💜
Me too!!! I want babies but I'm scared and feel so unprepared. I'm scared if I wait to long my body will betray me. It's a hard knocked life for a 38yrs old out here😂😂😂
@@reviewranger4202I feel you. I’m married and childless! You are not alone, I don’t believe it’s universal rule that all woman must be brave to give birth! ❤
I'm on the opposite end. I'm turning 37 this year and I fell pregnant at 18 had my first child at 19! I was DEFINITELY not prepared and because of my own personal experience > I feel like being unprepared for a baby is the best way to go about it. I just HAD to endure and go through it. And now with my soon to be 18yr old, we are so close and my family of 4 are all so close! I think back to my 19s and it was really bad, I couldn't have been prepared at all but shit happens and you make it work.
@@wawahalssorry for my bad english, i just want to say don’t convince yourself that, a woman having children and raising them is the best thing ever, having a job with high come will not get you the happiness you looking for, you will end up lonely regardless all you need is a man, because god created men for women, and women for men, men bodies is created to work hard in that way, and that is why let the women take care of the kids, and giving emotional support to the man, and taking care of the house and family, that is the sweetest job in the world, you will be able to enjoy life without worrying about income, because that’s not your job to worry about
Your 30s are amazing - you're still beautiful and you give less fucks. Take chances and spend time learning about yourself. Take chances. Men make it seem like you "hit the wall". You don't. 30s are better than your 20s also cause you're making good money. And like she says, not everyone grows old. Getting older is a blessing. You evolve and grow. You won't be the same person, you get better! It's actually amazing
@@jewlzn7130 when the creator said 2not everyone gets old", I felt it so much. I lost my little sibling this year, he was just 15 and he will never get old. So to me, ageing is a privilege and a blessing.
Happy Birthday! I turn 38 on the 20th of this month and I am so happy. Last year I was very sick and it made me change my mind about age. I am happy to be living.
Hi! i also turned 38 last Monday, April 15! Cheers to us, girls! I thought you were just in your late 20s Poppy! Thank you for your inspiring and motivating videos! I love watching everything you post!❤
You are extremely gorgeous and beautiful, young and youthful. I'm glad that single women in their 30s are making more content. We should also remember that this moment that we are living is the youngest that we will ever be. When we are in our 60, 70s and beyond, we will WISH we were in our 30s and 40s, because we will realise how young that was. So we should be happy with where we are in life, and don't allow the society to dictate what is old, what is expired, what is useless, what is hopeless. As long as we are alive, there is hope, for everything, for all our wishes and desires.
Signs of aging, wrinkles, body changes, etc. ALL of it is a guarantee in life if you continue to live so accept it and keep rolling. Every stage in life has its gifts as well.
I am almost 25 and I already feel old and like I wasted so much years of my life since 2020 due to struggling with my mental health since Covid. I’m only now getting much better. I’ve quit my studies, couldn’t get a job due to my mental health, still live with my parents and only now I’m starting to get on my own two feet. It’s hard. Hearing you talk was very soothing for me
You're not alone, I'm going through something similar. I feel that since covid my life has never been the same, it messed everything up. Don't lose your hope and believe in yourself no matter what!
Thankful that I watched this. I am turning 37 in a couple of weeks and I should say, 30s is the highlight of my life. It is definitely much better than in my 20s.
Gurrrlll, I know 38 is young but you look way younger!!! Aging like fine wine. I can relate to this vlog, I also turned a year older 2 weeks ago and I feel grateful! It’s a privilege indeed. ❤
Happy belated birthday!🎉 I will be turning 39 on April 29th and to be honest I am actually excited about it. And you are correct a lot of people do not live to see our age, thats why I show gratitude and not complain about anything. I do not have friends and my parents have passed on, so I am healing even more each day and praying to have authentic friendships one day.
I’m 29 and I’m going to 30 this year. And omg when I say I need this truly you don’t know. Thank you so much for this video. I was starting to feel like wtf am I doing. I lived in LA for 6 years after I graduated college and now living at home and life was just falling apart. But Im restarting bc the life I used to live I realize I want a different reality. I just know my 30’s it will be amazing!
I’m 38 too! I moved to Japan a 24 and lived there for 11 years. I moved to Korea 2 years ago at the age of 36. I’ve not had a typical life so far but I stand by my choices. I agree with you that so many people have this mindset that life ends at 30. But that’s all it is- a mindset.
Hi. May I ask you a question if you don't mind? I am 37 female. Thinking about moving to Korea or Japan. Can't decide. I am single and have no kids. Which country you liked the most Korea or Japan? I guess visa situation is harder in Korea to stay for long term but in Japan is easier with work visa right? I am not native English speaker so in terms of job probably it would be harder even with English teaching jobs...
@@ZhannaZhumabayeva-jq8ot if you had your education in an English speaking country you can teach English yes in Japan or Korea, but if not you will need another skill. Japan has a technical skills visa to fill gaps in a bunch of industries that Japanese people don’t want to do/ because of the small population. The jobs include technical, nursing, manual, cleaning etc… there are a lot of people on this visa type from Vietnam and Nepal but there are people from many other countries too. Go google SSW Japan visa. Japan is also suffering a lack of computer engineering skills and is hiring foreigners for coding in their growing tech industry. I know all this because I worked in an employment agency my last 3 years I. Japan. As for Korea, I don’t have as deep as knowledge of industries for foreigners sorry. Both are comfortable to live in but to say one thing about each country that is to its benefit, Japan is clean and Korea is warm hearted!
That’s awesome! I’m 38too, I moved to Korea at 36 with 2 kids! People thought we were crazy. I’m so thankful I get to live, even if it’s way different from the standard.
Sounds like my story! I’m 38 next month and moved to Taiwan to teach since I was 24 and still here 😅 for me it’s really my home away from home with Canada being my first home ❤
Happy birthday 🎂! Listening from Belgium. It's conforting to see that 38 can look young. I live and work in very caucasian area and white women at 38 look and feel as if they were 48... when you hear them talk about their (2) kids, it's as if everything was terrible hard. I'm Rwandan and I look 25 while I'm about to turn 38 ... So refreshing to see your video.
im 42 going on 43 this year most people think im in my early 30s because i take care of myself, i eat healthy workout throughout the week, and i dont have any kids, i feel better now than when i was in my mid 20s, but with more knowledge on life, The one thing i learned as a 42 yr old man is that you never stop learning in this life, and look forward to the coming years, Age with Pride
Same, turned 28 a few days ago z people think I’m 20. No kids, workout, read everyday, feeling great. I’m gaining so much knowledge. Hopefully I’ll be like u when I turn 43.
I'm 46 and couldn't be happier with this age. You know what you want as a women and honestly I think women look their best at these ages. You yourself are beautiful 😊. Happy birthday lady. Enjoy everything life has to bring you.
You are such a wonderful soul, I can feel your peace and love radiating off the screen. So happy that I found your channel, and so thankful for the internet and how it brings people together, even if they live far away from each other.
That's the wonderful thing about the Internet, it still amazes me at times! His name is Drizzle and honestly he can make me laugh, happy, angry, feel loved and annoyed all in one day 😂
I'm turning 38 next september!! My 37 birthday was terrible too and when I reached 36 I was really upset I felt that I'm almost 40without doing alot in my life and the downs that I had were alot alot to count ,, but I recognize that I survived alot too , and I'm still standing and I'm not easy to be broken❤
I’m 38 ❤almost 39! Thank you for this video. You are so accurate and I’m grateful that you reminded me that it’s a blessing to be turning this age and I can continue to reach important milestones.
This video could not have come at a better time. I just turned 30 this January and since then Ive had this cloud come over me that my best years were behind me. I lost a lot of friendships over the years, and ended my longest friendship in December after a pretty hard breakup in November. It was a tough year to say the least. Worst of all, I couldnt see any light at the end of the tunnel for my life going forward. It is so comforting knowing that maybe there are still things ahead that might make life worth living. Thank you, and that one 51 year old viewer for giving me a glimmer of hope
I can relate to this so much. I just turned 30 in February and I felt the same. I also had a hard breakup in November / December and it’s been really tough. I feel lost and confused and hopeless. Some days are better than others. It’s comforting to see that I am not alone in feeling this way and that there are things to look forward to that make life worth living. It can be hard to see the light at times. Especially in our darkest moments but this video and all the comments give me hope ❤ You are not alone. This is just one season of your life.
As I'm aging, I'm becoming more confident 🎉 in my life choices, developing strong identity, likes, dislikes, following my hobbies, and all. Loved it. 🎉 good talk ❤
Hi Poppy! Thank you for this video. Ngl I'm a little bit crying after watching this video haha I'm 25 and sometimes it feels like my friends are ahead of me. I sometimes find myself wondering if I'll be able to achieve my goals and have a successful life in the future. But it changed after I watched this video. It feels like I'm being comforted by an older sister saying, "Relax, everything's gonna be okay". That's exactly what I need right now ❤
I am 33 and working towards building a better life. I am thinking about my life as i age as i have a goal of being a centennial. We arent much different in age, but i appreciate your perspective. We are so lucky to grow older!
This has been weighing heavily on my mind since i turned 33. I was completely lost in my 20s. Health issues, unable to find and keep a job. Chasing girls and partying. Mental health problems. It wasnt until i turned 30 that i finally got a full time job. My first entry level software job and I feel so ashamed and behind. And its made me depressed. I wish i had the mindset i had now back in my early 20s. I dont know wtf happened. Its like the blindfolds are off and ive been hit by realization and reality that im behind. Im 33 now and it feels like my life is over. This wasn't the life i pictured for myself. I thought id be better than i am now but im not. Please I'd love some encouragement
I’m 33 as well and suffered very badly from depression and anxiety most of my life. I threw away so many opportunities to get ahead in life because of it. I graduated from high school yeah but never finished a degree. I always wanted to work in the medical field but did not feel as if I had the capacity to study at a university level to completion as my focus shifts very easily and so I spent 12 years in a retail job working part-time that I began to loathe towards the end. I wasn’t the partying type but very introverted and socially awkward. I dated many people who were not the one, and even now I still wonder if I’ve found the right person as we seem to have more off days than good. But now I am in the medical field assisting doctors and it’s a fulfilling job and I enjoy it. It’s not full time and it’s not exactly my “dream” job but I am hoping to reinvent myself. You’re not alone and you’re not behind. We are told to choose our life path when our brains are still developing and some people were still unsure of what they wanted back then. I was one of those people. And so are you. But you are not alone and we will be okay, don’t worry. :) You got this. ❤
As a fellow female navigating her 30s too, I agree-it's so easy to get absorbed in all the negatives of aging. I love how your message is to just to be grateful and enjoy every moment, love your positivity and thank you for sharing your radiant light. Happy belated birthday!
I'm 39 and starting to get used to things not turning out like I had imagined/hoped, and I am ok with that. Every new day is a blessing from God and another opportunity to make the world a better place and to keep our own egos and issues in check.
I’m 33 and now going back to college to pursue a culinary career. A lot of my friends would say that’s a little late, and maybe in the past I would agree. They’re all at stable jobs, married with kids, have their own houses, etc. But not me, I want to pursue and do something what I want rather than do something for higher pay and be miserable. It’s never too late to go for your dreams.
I don't why I cried while watching this video. But I have so much realization about Ageing. It is hard looking at myself in front of the mirror, those wrinkles and fine lines on my face. Youthfullness doesn't lasts forever. Thank you fot this video. It's very encouraging. Have a good day.
I am turning 30 tomorrow and I feel like this video found me like a sign from the universe. You are radiating such elegance and wisdom! Thank you for this, truly. My 20's were so chaotic and this video felt like the soothing hug I needed. It was reassurance that even though I did not accomplish what I sought in my 20's, that is okay. Happy belated birthday!
happy birthday! your advice helps in so many ways. i'm 24 y/o and already 2 years into my career. i feel like i'm wasting the "best years" of my life to my job and long term relationship. a part of me is wondering if i'm trying to grow up too early, because everyone tells me that your 20s are the years you should be having fun and making stupid decisions. it feels good to know that my best years have yet to come.
Lovely to hear your story. What I’ve gathered in my 50years is to be unapologetic about the Aging journey. Never too old to dream a dream and never too old to level up our aspirations. I’m just as excited for this next season as the days of yesteryears.
I had a big break up on my 35. Start a new career, running out of cash, and feel so lost 😢 this month I am 37. My life is the best that it can be. I have new business, I rebuild my savings, and start dating again. Belief it or not my confidence is at its peak RN. It's because I understand more about life and become wiser. Life is a wonderful gift, let's enjoy it and do good things to our last day on earth ❤
Were all just souls on this earth experiencing what it feels like to be human. Society puts all these pressures on us for hundreds of years. Hitting certain benchmarks in life arent really important. Its just about being happy within ourselves and growing as people and forever learning. It took me a long time to figure that out. Im 42 and raising my 9yr old nephew. My life doesnt look like how my teenage self thought it would. But I feel like times are changing. We can all embrace unconventional lives. We dont need the cookie cutter life our mother's or grandmother's had. ❤
I'm 32 going to be 33 soon and your video made me realize how life can be and cherish the people we have still in our lives and how we have to appreciate life more ❤️ it's a blessing
I’ll be 38 on my birthday as well. Happy birthday. I’ve learned so much this past year and I changed in so many good ways. I’m so grateful to my family and I finally realize I deserve to take up space in the world. I hope this year is great and I can be a positive influence to people around me.
Yo happy birthday Poppy. Thanks for sharing your day with us, and providing some more excellent wisdom. I'm 36, and essentially in the same bracket as you, so I really relate to a lot to what you're saying in this video, and your other videos. Completely 100% with you on the importance of taking care of oneself as we get to this stage. I feel like I'm finally at a place where consistency with my fitness will soar. Wish I had caught on long ago, but better late than never. I remember you talked about 90 days in your last video, and I'm looking forward to that milestone. Anyway, I appreciate all that you do, and your words are helping more people than you know. You're beautiful inside, and out. That bread looks good by the way. Cheers.
Poppy I have just discovered your channel by stumbling across this wholesome video. I’m in my early 30’s and you have given me so much hope and encouragement this morning, I feel like I’m watching an older sister. Please make more videos. Love from London, Uk 🇬🇧 🤎🤎
Happy birthday 🎉! Just look at the difference you’re making and lives you’re touching by sharing your wonderful insights. It’s proof positive that the best is still to come. (P.S. I’m Dutch too! 🇳🇱 Gefeliciteerd!) 😂
Thank you for sharing your experience from one 30 something to another. I've recently had a wake-up call about my eating habits that have carried over from my 20s. I used to be able to eat junk food and not think much about it. Now, I'm working to fix my relationship with food and not just eat something because it tastes good and is comforting. Just changing what I eat for a few days has made me feel more energized.
Love your energy. You're literally just beginning life in the best way. You're beautiful, refreshing, and I love to see it! Happy birthday Poppy. Here's to a wonderful season of growth and peace. ✨
Happy belated birthday! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'm turning 37 next month. No relationship, kids or pets. I suppose life only gets better from this point on. All the best.
How encouraging is this?! I too turn 38 this year. It’s something about that number that feels very…mature. Lol! It’s unbelievable how fast time has flown. I am, however, very grateful for my life and looking forward to what’s to come.
I just turned 28 couple days ago. I’m healthy, workout, read daily and take care of myself. I’m learning to really enjoy this journey and to be easy on myself, and love myself. Thank you for this upload.. gives me hope to know life isn’t over in your 30’s..
Okay I absolutely needed this. I’m 29 and turning 30 in November; I moved to a different city for a job and got in a relationship too soon after moving here that ended up ending this past Feb. Now I’m also planning to resign on Monday from my job because it’s just too toxic and awful for me to deal with. I’m scared at the idea of everything being over at 30 but this video gave me a lot of hope in a time of a lot of darkness. ❤
Day before yesterday I turned 36. Last several years I was like ... refusing to accept that I am aging, and as if becoming 35 is end of the life. But today I am more grateful.
i am more and more grateful each birthday. i have not had a child. but i know that my mom was forever changed when she burthed me and gave me all she could always. ive mended so much during pandemic.
Thank you for this video! I’m in my last year of my 20’s and haven’t accomplished anything I would like yet and am looking forward to my 30s. Been working on myself for the past several years and I know everything takes time as well, and I have been learning to be patient 😭
And I definitely agree you can change at any time and definitely in your 30s. I’m going to be 38 in June. This decade I have gotten a good job. I learned so much about myself and the world. I’ve become a better person, calmer and kind. I’ve learned gratitude. I work with the elderly and I’ve even become a better caregiver and I’m learning more about each decade of life. There’s so much to learn. Life is delicate and beautiful. Aging is difficult in seeing our loved ones get older, life changes, etc and we can always look at older people and worry about the future. But I don’t worry so much anymore. I see how I’ve changed and give myself credit. I see the future and know it’s not a give- in at all. But if I have it, it’s a blessing and I’ll hopefully be able to continue to be the best possible version of myself.
Hi I got depressed and had a panic attack when I was in 29 about to turn thirty. I was depressed for about 2 years. I feel so much better now. Thank you for your videos. You are saving lives. ❤
Thank you for this, Poppy. Your videos really inspire me as I am now 34 and really feeling like I’m ready to take my life to the next stage. I’ve been traveling and figuring myself out but now all I want is my own place and my dog ❤
I will turn 38 on may and a year and half ago i was single living in my parents house and now i live with my boyfriend and i was sure that im not going to be in a relationship ever again so remind yourself that it's never too late to find love and be happy with yourself because we the only one that have no choise but living with ourselves from the beginning to the end❤
I loved this. Life in my 30s has been hugely improved vs 20s and for that I am grateful! We have a similar outlook to feeling lucky to reach an ever higher age - the women in my family all die young :(. I AM lucky! I am lonely, though. I'll be 35 on Thursday and almost all my friends are married or in LTRs. My cat suffices most of the time but I'm beginning to accept I'll not find a life partner, and that is okay. I'm not entitled to it.
I'm turning 35 this June and I'm panicking deep down because I'm just 5 years away from turning 40. I feel like I'm so behind in life. I really feel so anxious thinking about it. I'm so happy I found your channel. Everything you're saying is so relatable.
I feel you that was exactly how I felt last year turning 37. But you know what, I'm in a much better place than 12 months ago so really nothing to be anxious about. Just focus on being you, you are a beautiful human regardless of the numbers ❤️❤️
I’m 53 and I just graduated and am starting over in a new career.. never stop learning and growing!
I love this SO much. As someone who has seriously been struggling with my career/purpose in life , this is so reassuring ❤
How do you cope with restarting at an older age. I'm in my mid thirties and I am retraining jn a different country. It is so hard to accept being so low and so dependent on others when I'm already in a more senior position back home.
I love this! I've been struggling with finding meaning, identity and purpose in my life with being a SAHM for several years and children now at full time school, I've been feeling lost on what's next. I've been looking into studying nursing but at almost 45 years old thought I may be too old to study and start a new career so thank you for sharing and reassuring me you are never too old!
This is so damn cool! Congratulations!
Amazing, congratulations 🥳 my 👩🎓 graduation ceremony is on Friday. I am 38 and spent nearly 20 years in my past career! ❤
Your voice is so soothing! I was so lost in my 30s. I wanted a relationship so bad and to have children. It didn't happen. I was in the wrong relationships where the guys didn't want kids. In my 40s I decided to do it alone. I didn't have time to wait for the right guy. I gave birth to my first child at 48 and am currently pregnant at 50 with my second child.
What ? Really ? That’s incredible. I didn’t know it was possible. Thanks for sharing ❤
I too was married at 30 and we had no children. We tried. Then a divorce. In my 40's I really want a family and children. But heaven forbid I get that gift. I couldn't be a mom myself. It's hard. And you are an amazing and strong woman. I wish you luck, health and happiness.
Yes!! My mom just had a baby at 46, and it’s so clear that she was finally ready for a kid. She was never there for my brother and I, I hardly saw her in my life. But I am so happy for her to finally find what career she wants and to be with a man she sees herself with forever and a baby girl. She would tell me when she was young she always wanted a daughter. We’re really in a new age, with so much health technology, we’re a lot healthier longer if we make the right choices and have access to some of the technology.
Wow! God bless you!
Congrats! I love this story so much 👏👏👏
I just turned 38 yesterday and it's my first birthday without both my parents on this earth😢 and I really wish I could call them and congrulate them and thanking them for everything.
So sorry 🥹 praying for you
@@BeastorFail Thank you.
Im sorry for giving you a virtual 🫂 I lost my dad, and that's hard in itself ❤
I'm so sorry. May God bless you ❤ He loves you! ❤
Same. I feel you ❤
I’m 39 and have been feeling a little like society thinks my best years are over when I hit 40 but I feel like I’m only just beginning. I’m in the best shape of my life, started my business last year and feel so comfortable in my skin now vs my 20’s. Your video has made me think differently so thank you.
❤Yess it's only just begun🙌✌️
I am 37 and in very similar situation as yours :)
As a 46 yr old...girl...40s are still YOUNG
Happy birthday! I absolutely love your messages. As a 32 year old woman in college, I agree. It's never too late and we are all going at our own pace. 🔥🔥❤
YAY starting school again at 28! We got this !!
I'm 31 and also in college! It is always ok to learn and continue learning. A lady I met who is in her 50s recently told me that she wants to take some classes in community college someday. :) it always feels nice knowing that at any age its just ok still. Nothing is ever too late.
@@melissaholcombe3958 Curious how would you feel about an almost 45 year old in your studies, really considering going back to school to study nursing but worried about being judged for being too old by the 20 somethings in my class 😅
@@rebeccas7366 I understand exactly how you would and will feel, but it is important to go after whatever can better benefit your life and no matter what any stranger thinks you have to listen to your heart and know this is for YOU and we still have a future as long as we are still alive no matter our ages.... GO FOR IT and DON'T LOOK BACK!
Me too!! I’m 32 and in college
42 next month and just made into the TH-cam partnership program. Never too late to start❤Happy 🎂 Birthday

Im in my mid 20, but honestly all I want in life is to live peacefully and comfortably near nature. Watching the sunset and going to a daily walk near a forest or mountains is my dream.
Life didn’t start for me until the day I turned 30 during the Pandemic.
In this order:
During COVID I honed my cooking skills, learned to read and speak French, Traveled to France (and French Canada twice!), changed careers from retail to tech (started working for a well known tech giant as an engineer), most importantly I finally learned to verbally set boundaries and make requests.
And happiest of all- I met my now husband! ❤ A man committed to hard work & financial gains, inner personal growth, better communication, and building a happy family.
All this since 2020! I’m only 33!
I love this for you, what an amazing story! 💞
i saved and invested for decades to live a NOT GIVING A DAMN lifestyle! I'm 58. I don't work and do whatever i want. I do love dating women in the mid twenties and being their suga_daddy! Seeing them by the pool in a bikini is what LIFE IS ALL ABOUT! When they hit 30...time to move on. NOT GIVING A DAMN lifestyle!

It is the man that makes the woman look much younger and happier.
Im 36 single and with a 9-5 job that even tho it doesnt pay that much it brings me joy bc I love helping ppl out. Sometimes it isn’t necessary to make a lot of money or be successful at somethin to feel like you have a good life or that you have ‘made it’. Just be happy you have the necessary things and a little extra to enjoy life. Focus on your health bc thats the real wealth in life and find a purpose like helping others to feel fulfilled🥰
Hey there! I am happy for you. I liked the fact that you have a job with decent pay that makes you happy and stress free. Out of curiosity, if I may ask what kind of job are you into? Have a great day ahead:)

I am 36, divorced with a 8 year old child. Still figuring out my life so I think we all were scammed by society that by 30s you settle down. We never settle in fact always evolve ❤ Happy Birthday dear 🎉
I don't think society tells us to settle down by age 30. In fact, it tells us to be selfish and to love ourselves, etc. Those things are counter to settling down. Our internal biological clocks tell us to settle down by age 30 😂
@@Fitmomlyfe. In the 70s/80s, a person will be settled in life with their husband/wife, and children by 30. In 2024 you have women in their 30s wearing cat-ear headphones and spending all their spare time streaming on TikTok. And men are wearing trousers that are so tight they look like leggings! The Western world is a failed society!

I'm 30 and I'm glad to hear someone else going through a similar situation like me. Lately, I have been thinking about going back to college or study a master's degree, but it is confusing. After months of looking for an answer, I realized that most of my motivation to study was to gain a better "status" in society. I thought studying was going to make me feel better about myself, but in reality, I was just trying to please others. Once I noticed that I took time alone to reflect and realized that I didn't want to go back to college. I want to keep learning in my own way: attending short courses, seminars, or reading books. Letting go of the pressure society puts on us is a good place to start if we want to create a more meaningful life.
but girls live an easier life than boys tho
Your video got recommended to me and honestly I need this lesson. I’m turning 38 this year and I feel so panic about not being married or having children yet. I keep thinking I’m so behind. I loved your energy and spirit. The best is yet to come 💜💜💜
Me too!!! I want babies but I'm scared and feel so unprepared. I'm scared if I wait to long my body will betray me. It's a hard knocked life for a 38yrs old out here😂😂😂
@@reviewranger4202I feel you. I’m married and childless! You are not alone, I don’t believe it’s universal rule that all woman must be brave to give birth! ❤
I'm on the opposite end. I'm turning 37 this year and I fell pregnant at 18 had my first child at 19! I was DEFINITELY not prepared and because of my own personal experience > I feel like being unprepared for a baby is the best way to go about it. I just HAD to endure and go through it. And now with my soon to be 18yr old, we are so close and my family of 4 are all so close! I think back to my 19s and it was really bad, I couldn't have been prepared at all but shit happens and you make it work.
@@reviewranger4202 so accurate 😂😂😂
@@wawahalssorry for my bad english, i just want to say don’t convince yourself that, a woman having children and raising them is the best thing ever, having a job with high come will not get you the happiness you looking for, you will end up lonely regardless
all you need is a man, because god created men for women, and women for men, men bodies is created to work hard in that way, and that is why let the women take care of the kids, and giving emotional support to the man, and taking care of the house and family, that is the sweetest job in the world, you will be able to enjoy life without worrying about income, because that’s not your job to worry about
I'm turning 30 next year and I can't wait. I really believe my life will be better in my 30s.
30s is the new 20s
Your 30s are amazing - you're still beautiful and you give less fucks. Take chances and spend time learning about yourself. Take chances. Men make it seem like you "hit the wall". You don't. 30s are better than your 20s also cause you're making good money. And like she says, not everyone grows old. Getting older is a blessing. You evolve and grow. You won't be the same person, you get better! It's actually amazing
@@jewlzn7130 when the creator said 2not everyone gets old", I felt it so much. I lost my little sibling this year, he was just 15 and he will never get old. So to me, ageing is a privilege and a blessing.
You are going to enjoy your 30’s. You can’t pay me to go back to my 20’s . Good luck Darling ❤️

I can't believe we're literally on the same page! Hope you've got something nice planned for your birthday. Here's to us thriving at 38 🍾
Hi! i also turned 38 last Monday, April 15! Cheers to us, girls! I thought you were just in your late 20s Poppy! Thank you for your inspiring and motivating videos! I love watching everything you post!❤
@@memesuperstarph6431 cheers to us April girlies 💕
You are extremely gorgeous and beautiful, young and youthful. I'm glad that single women in their 30s are making more content. We should also remember that this moment that we are living is the youngest that we will ever be. When we are in our 60, 70s and beyond, we will WISH we were in our 30s and 40s, because we will realise how young that was. So we should be happy with where we are in life, and don't allow the society to dictate what is old, what is expired, what is useless, what is hopeless. As long as we are alive, there is hope, for everything, for all our wishes and desires.
Yes to all of this!
Signs of aging, wrinkles, body changes, etc. ALL of it is a guarantee in life if you continue to live so accept it and keep rolling. Every stage in life has its gifts as well.
As someone who is turning 31, this reassures me that everything will always work out for me.
Same. Be turning 31 soon. Sometimes it makes me sad, but watching this video, I'm grateful for life. @akin... Happy 31st birthday in advance 🎉
I am almost 25 and I already feel old and like I wasted so much years of my life since 2020 due to struggling with my mental health since Covid. I’m only now getting much better. I’ve quit my studies, couldn’t get a job due to my mental health, still live with my parents and only now I’m starting to get on my own two feet. It’s hard. Hearing you talk was very soothing for me
You're not alone, I'm going through something similar. I feel that since covid my life has never been the same, it messed everything up. Don't lose your hope and believe in yourself no matter what!
@@irinashkliarenko1372 Thank you 😘

You are so welcome!
Thankful that I watched this. I am turning 37 in a couple of weeks and I should say, 30s is the highlight of my life. It is definitely much better than in my 20s.

Happy belated birthday!🎉 I will be turning 39 on April 29th and to be honest I am actually excited about it. And you are correct a lot of people do not live to see our age, thats why I show gratitude and not complain about anything. I do not have friends and my parents have passed on, so I am healing even more each day and praying to have authentic friendships one day.
Four more days until your birthday 🎉😊
@Ediiorab111 Yesssss! I know right, I'm so happy 😊.
Yay! I hope you have a wonderful day 🥳
I’m 29 and I’m going to 30 this year. And omg when I say I need this truly you don’t know. Thank you so much for this video. I was starting to feel like wtf am I doing. I lived in LA for 6 years after I graduated college and now living at home and life was just falling apart. But Im restarting bc the life I used to live I realize I want a different reality. I just know my 30’s it will be amazing!
i turn 24 in 2 days but i am committed to embrace my age and keep learning and living. Life goes on.
Please tell me you’re not feeling old at 24.
I’m 38 too! I moved to Japan a 24 and lived there for 11 years. I moved to Korea 2 years ago at the age of 36. I’ve not had a typical life so far but I stand by my choices. I agree with you that so many people have this mindset that life ends at 30. But that’s all it is- a mindset.
Hi. May I ask you a question if you don't mind? I am 37 female. Thinking about moving to Korea or Japan. Can't decide. I am single and have no kids. Which country you liked the most Korea or Japan? I guess visa situation is harder in Korea to stay for long term but in Japan is easier with work visa right? I am not native English speaker so in terms of job probably it would be harder even with English teaching jobs...
i feel like 30's is when you should started getting serious with what u wanna do in life.
@@ZhannaZhumabayeva-jq8ot if you had your education in an English speaking country you can teach English yes in Japan or Korea, but if not you will need another skill. Japan has a technical skills visa to fill gaps in a bunch of industries that Japanese people don’t want to do/ because of the small population. The jobs include technical, nursing, manual, cleaning etc… there are a lot of people on this visa type from Vietnam and Nepal but there are people from many other countries too. Go google SSW Japan visa.
Japan is also suffering a lack of computer engineering skills and is hiring foreigners for coding in their growing tech industry. I know all this because I worked in an employment agency my last 3 years I. Japan. As for Korea, I don’t have as deep as knowledge of industries for foreigners sorry. Both are comfortable to live in but to say one thing about each country that is to its benefit, Japan is clean and Korea is warm hearted!
That’s awesome! I’m 38too, I moved to Korea at 36 with 2 kids! People thought we were crazy. I’m so thankful I get to live, even if it’s way different from the standard.
Sounds like my story! I’m 38 next month and moved to Taiwan to teach since I was 24 and still here 😅 for me it’s really my home away from home with Canada being my first home ❤
Happy birthday 🎂!
Listening from Belgium.
It's conforting to see that 38 can look young. I live and work in very caucasian area and white women at 38 look and feel as if they were 48... when you hear them talk about their (2) kids, it's as if everything was terrible hard.
I'm Rwandan and I look 25 while I'm about to turn 38 ...
So refreshing to see your video.
Hello and thank you! Huh cool to know you're also 1986 baby :)
im 42 going on 43 this year most people think im in my early 30s because i take care of myself, i eat healthy workout throughout the week, and i dont have any kids, i feel better now than when i was in my mid 20s, but with more knowledge on life, The one thing i learned as a 42 yr old man is that you never stop learning in this life, and look forward to the coming years, Age with Pride
Same, turned 28 a few days ago z people think I’m 20. No kids, workout, read everyday, feeling great. I’m gaining so much knowledge.
Hopefully I’ll be like u when I turn 43.
I'm the same age, no kids aswell. Love the energy of this message. So true. Sending love to you for a continued happy life 😊💜🙏🏽
I'm 46 and couldn't be happier with this age. You know what you want as a women and honestly I think women look their best at these ages. You yourself are beautiful 😊. Happy birthday lady. Enjoy everything life has to bring you.
Same here.😊

I'm turning 38 next september!! My 37 birthday was terrible too and when I reached 36 I was really upset I felt that I'm almost 40without doing alot in my life and the downs that I had were alot alot to count ,, but I recognize that I survived alot too , and I'm still standing and I'm not easy to be broken❤
I love this. I'm 32 and feel like you're a big sister giving valuable life advice. I appreciate this and yes, that lipstick shade works :)
I’m 38 ❤almost 39! Thank you for this video. You are so accurate and I’m grateful that you reminded me that it’s a blessing to be turning this age and I can continue to reach important milestones.
This video could not have come at a better time. I just turned 30 this January and since then Ive had this cloud come over me that my best years were behind me. I lost a lot of friendships over the years, and ended my longest friendship in December after a pretty hard breakup in November. It was a tough year to say the least. Worst of all, I couldnt see any light at the end of the tunnel for my life going forward. It is so comforting knowing that maybe there are still things ahead that might make life worth living. Thank you, and that one 51 year old viewer for giving me a glimmer of hope
I can relate to this so much. I just turned 30 in February and I felt the same. I also had a hard breakup in November / December and it’s been really tough. I feel lost and confused and hopeless. Some days are better than others. It’s comforting to see that I am not alone in feeling this way and that there are things to look forward to that make life worth living. It can be hard to see the light at times. Especially in our darkest moments but this video and all the comments give me hope ❤ You are not alone. This is just one season of your life.
As I'm aging, I'm becoming more confident 🎉 in my life choices, developing strong identity, likes, dislikes, following my hobbies, and all. Loved it. 🎉 good talk ❤
Love your outlook ☺️ I'm currently 29 and starting to reflect and be greatful for everything
Happy Birthday...🎉🎉🎉, I turned 38 last 2 months ago, age is just a number as long as we enjoy our life.
100% agree! Happy belated birthday! 🎂
happy belated birthday! I'm turning 40 later this year and agree. continuous self improvement, discovery and gratitude are my guiding lights.
Hi Poppy! Thank you for this video. Ngl I'm a little bit crying after watching this video haha
I'm 25 and sometimes it feels like my friends are ahead of me. I sometimes find myself wondering if I'll be able to achieve my goals and have a successful life in the future. But it changed after I watched this video. It feels like I'm being comforted by an older sister saying, "Relax, everything's gonna be okay". That's exactly what I need right now ❤
I am 33 and working towards building a better life. I am thinking about my life as i age as i have a goal of being a centennial. We arent much different in age, but i appreciate your perspective. We are so lucky to grow older!
I’m about to become 30yo and finally decided to start my own YT channel which had been my dream since yeaaars ! Your video is very inspiring to me 😊
You can do this!
She's glowing. Everyone had their own story. Keep moving strong 🙏
As someone turning 39 this month, thank you. Thank you so much for sharing your honesty ❤
This has been weighing heavily on my mind since i turned 33. I was completely lost in my 20s. Health issues, unable to find and keep a job. Chasing girls and partying. Mental health problems. It wasnt until i turned 30 that i finally got a full time job.
My first entry level software job and I feel so ashamed and behind. And its made me depressed. I wish i had the mindset i had now back in my early 20s. I dont know wtf happened. Its like the blindfolds are off and ive been hit by realization and reality that im behind. Im 33 now and it feels like my life is over. This wasn't the life i pictured for myself. I thought id be better than i am now but im not.
Please I'd love some encouragement
I’m 33 as well and suffered very badly from depression and anxiety most of my life. I threw away so many opportunities to get ahead in life because of it. I graduated from high school yeah but never finished a degree. I always wanted to work in the medical field but did not feel as if I had the capacity to study at a university level to completion as my focus shifts very easily and so I spent 12 years in a retail job working part-time that I began to loathe towards the end.
I wasn’t the partying type but very introverted and socially awkward. I dated many people who were not the one, and even now I still wonder if I’ve found the right person as we seem to have more off days than good.
But now I am in the medical field assisting doctors and it’s a fulfilling job and I enjoy it. It’s not full time and it’s not exactly my “dream” job but I am hoping to reinvent myself. You’re not alone and you’re not behind. We are told to choose our life path when our brains are still developing and some people were still unsure of what they wanted back then. I was one of those people. And so are you. But you are not alone and we will be okay, don’t worry. :) You got this. ❤
Stop complaining about what you could've have done and start enjoying your life journey..
As a fellow female navigating her 30s too, I agree-it's so easy to get absorbed in all the negatives of aging. I love how your message is to just to be grateful and enjoy every moment, love your positivity and thank you for sharing your radiant light. Happy belated birthday!
I'm 39 and starting to get used to things not turning out like I had imagined/hoped, and I am ok with that. Every new day is a blessing from God and another opportunity to make the world a better place and to keep our own egos and issues in check.
I’m 33 and now going back to college to pursue a culinary career. A lot of my friends would say that’s a little late, and maybe in the past I would agree. They’re all at stable jobs, married with kids, have their own houses, etc. But not me, I want to pursue and do something what I want rather than do something for higher pay and be miserable. It’s never too late to go for your dreams.
I don't why I cried while watching this video. But I have so much realization about Ageing. It is hard looking at myself in front of the mirror, those wrinkles and fine lines on my face. Youthfullness doesn't lasts forever. Thank you fot this video. It's very encouraging. Have a good day.
It happens to all of us, and that's ok. You're not alone and you're beautiful the way you are 💖
I am turning 30 tomorrow and I feel like this video found me like a sign from the universe. You are radiating such elegance and wisdom! Thank you for this, truly. My 20's were so chaotic and this video felt like the soothing hug I needed. It was reassurance that even though I did not accomplish what I sought in my 20's, that is okay. Happy belated birthday!
My 20s were really chaotic too. My life has been alot more peaceful now.
happy birthday! your advice helps in so many ways. i'm 24 y/o and already 2 years into my career. i feel like i'm wasting the "best years" of my life to my job and long term relationship. a part of me is wondering if i'm trying to grow up too early, because everyone tells me that your 20s are the years you should be having fun and making stupid decisions. it feels good to know that my best years have yet to come.
Lovely to hear your story. What I’ve gathered in my 50years is to be unapologetic about the Aging journey. Never too old to dream a dream and never too old to level up our aspirations. I’m just as excited for this next season as the days of yesteryears.
I had a big break up on my 35. Start a new career, running out of cash, and feel so lost 😢 this month I am 37. My life is the best that it can be. I have new business, I rebuild my savings, and start dating again. Belief it or not my confidence is at its peak RN. It's because I understand more about life and become wiser. Life is a wonderful gift, let's enjoy it and do good things to our last day on earth ❤
Were all just souls on this earth experiencing what it feels like to be human. Society puts all these pressures on us for hundreds of years. Hitting certain benchmarks in life arent really important. Its just about being happy within ourselves and growing as people and forever learning. It took me a long time to figure that out. Im 42 and raising my 9yr old nephew. My life doesnt look like how my teenage self thought it would. But I feel like times are changing. We can all embrace unconventional lives. We dont need the cookie cutter life our mother's or grandmother's had. ❤
I'm 32 going to be 33 soon and your video made me realize how life can be and cherish the people we have still in our lives and how we have to appreciate life more ❤️ it's a blessing
I turn 30 this year. Thank you so much for your remarks and advices! Noted and will put into use in my upcoming 30’s. And, happy 38th birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
I’ll be 38 on my birthday as well. Happy birthday. I’ve learned so much this past year and I changed in so many good ways. I’m so grateful to my family and I finally realize I deserve to take up space in the world. I hope this year is great and I can be a positive influence to people around me.
I just turned 81. I just graduated MIT and I am so Excited to start my career at Apple. #GirlBoss
How timely to stumble upon this. I am turning 38 a week from today and I'm also in grad school. Subbed!!
Great video, I’m turning 35 in a few months. I was stressing out about getting older. Thanks for changing my perspective. ❤❤
Yo happy birthday Poppy. Thanks for sharing your day with us, and providing some more excellent wisdom. I'm 36, and essentially in the same bracket as you, so I really relate to a lot to what you're saying in this video, and your other videos. Completely 100% with you on the importance of taking care of oneself as we get to this stage. I feel like I'm finally at a place where consistency with my fitness will soar. Wish I had caught on long ago, but better late than never. I remember you talked about 90 days in your last video, and I'm looking forward to that milestone. Anyway, I appreciate all that you do, and your words are helping more people than you know. You're beautiful inside, and out. That bread looks good by the way. Cheers.
Poppy I have just discovered your channel by stumbling across this wholesome video. I’m in my early 30’s and you have given me so much hope and encouragement this morning, I feel like I’m watching an older sister. Please make more videos. Love from London, Uk 🇬🇧 🤎🤎
You have such a grounded perspective on life and it’s so refreshing. thank you for sharing ❤
Happy birthday 🎉! Just look at the difference you’re making and lives you’re touching by sharing your wonderful insights. It’s proof positive that the best is still to come. (P.S. I’m Dutch too! 🇳🇱 Gefeliciteerd!) 😂
Dank u wel!! Oh and hope you're looking forward to King's Day 😊
I’ll be 39 this year and it’s just a trip to almost be 40. I always thought 40 was so old. I’m trying to change my perspective about aging.
Thank you for sharing your experience from one 30 something to another. I've recently had a wake-up call about my eating habits that have carried over from my 20s. I used to be able to eat junk food and not think much about it. Now, I'm working to fix my relationship with food and not just eat something because it tastes good and is comforting. Just changing what I eat for a few days has made me feel more energized.
You are so beautiful, carrying all the glow and growth. Happy belated birthday!
I am currently 21 and I look forward to being such calm and so beautiful at 38 just like you.
Just turned 38 as well and reinventing myself 🙏🏻🙏🏻 i love your videos, thank you for motivating us ♥️♥️
Love your energy. You're literally just beginning life in the best way. You're beautiful, refreshing, and I love to see it!
Happy birthday Poppy. Here's to a wonderful season of growth and peace.
✨
Happy belated birthday! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'm turning 37 next month. No relationship, kids or pets. I suppose life only gets better from this point on. All the best.
I hope so too. Turning 37 in Oct too.
@@sunvavachi Happy birthday, Sunethra :))
I completely agree with you. Blessed and happy to be alive, healthy, and peaceful.
How encouraging is this?! I too turn 38 this year. It’s something about that number that feels very…mature. Lol! It’s unbelievable how fast time has flown. I am, however, very grateful for my life and looking forward to what’s to come.
Such a beautiful spirit and person. Inside and out. I wish you nothing but every success and happiness.
I just turned 28 couple days ago. I’m healthy, workout, read daily and take care of myself. I’m learning to really enjoy this journey and to be easy on myself, and love myself.
Thank you for this upload.. gives me hope to know life isn’t over in your 30’s..
Happy belated birthday hun❤🎉. I just touched 40 in Feb and only starting over
Okay I absolutely needed this. I’m 29 and turning 30 in November; I moved to a different city for a job and got in a relationship too soon after moving here that ended up ending this past Feb. Now I’m also planning to resign on Monday from my job because it’s just too toxic and awful for me to deal with. I’m scared at the idea of everything being over at 30 but this video gave me a lot of hope in a time of a lot of darkness. ❤
Day before yesterday I turned 36. Last several years I was like ... refusing to accept that I am aging, and as if becoming 35 is end of the life. But today I am more grateful.
Belated happy birthday Poppy🥰. I always think the aroma of baking is so cozy. Thank you for helping us feel hopeful and happy.
YOUR 38!!?!?!??!?! YOU LOOK LIKE 29 AT MOST
Yes I agree!!!
Or even 27
As a 29yr old myself she looks 34-36 to me. She does look good for 38.
To me she even looks 22 !! I’m 22 if she was next to me they would confuse her for my bestie !!
Right 😮
i am more and more grateful each birthday. i have not had a child. but i know that my mom was forever changed when she burthed me and gave me all she could always. ive mended so much during pandemic.
im obsessed, just found your channel! amazing to find creators that embrace aging - so refreshing!
Thank you for this video! I’m in my last year of my 20’s and haven’t accomplished anything I would like yet and am looking forward to my 30s. Been working on myself for the past several years and I know everything takes time as well, and I have been learning to be patient 😭
Why are you so pleasant to watch? Thank you for covering this topic. I'm turning 36 this year, and you seem so grounded and gorgeous. God Bless :)
as a recent graduate struggling with unmet expectations, this video has given me a much-needed hopeful perspective. thank you for that! ☺
And I definitely agree you can change at any time and definitely in your 30s. I’m going to be 38 in June. This decade I have gotten a good job. I learned so much about myself and the world. I’ve become a better person, calmer and kind. I’ve learned gratitude. I work with the elderly and I’ve even become a better caregiver and I’m learning more about each decade of life. There’s so much to learn. Life is delicate and beautiful. Aging is difficult in seeing our loved ones get older, life changes, etc and we can always look at older people and worry about the future. But I don’t worry so much anymore. I see how I’ve changed and give myself credit. I see the future and know it’s not a give- in at all. But if I have it, it’s a blessing and I’ll hopefully be able to continue to be the best possible version of myself.
This was so motivating and comforting to watch just re-emphasizing that life doesn’t stop at 30 and there is so much opportunity for growth✨
Hi I got depressed and had a panic attack when I was in 29 about to turn thirty. I was depressed for about 2 years. I feel so much better now. Thank you for your videos. You are saving lives. ❤
You are so elegant and I’m obsessed with your hair color!
Persistent thought throughout video: That's so nice. Love your energy and happy to hear about your warm, joyful experiences. Best wishes!
I’m turning 34 next month and this video is so comforting 🫶🏼
Watching your video. Calmed me sooo much. Thank you
Thank you for this, Poppy. Your videos really inspire me as I am now 34 and really feeling like I’m ready to take my life to the next stage. I’ve been traveling and figuring myself out but now all I want is my own place and my dog ❤
A dog will certainly change your life. They're hard work I'm not going to lie but the joy they bring is such an amazing feeling 🐶
I will turn 38 on may and a year and half ago i was single living in my parents house and now i live with my boyfriend and i was sure that im not going to be in a relationship ever again so remind yourself that it's never too late to find love and be happy with yourself because we the only one that have no choise but living with ourselves from the beginning to the end❤
I loved this. Life in my 30s has been hugely improved vs 20s and for that I am grateful! We have a similar outlook to feeling lucky to reach an ever higher age - the women in my family all die young :(. I AM lucky! I am lonely, though. I'll be 35 on Thursday and almost all my friends are married or in LTRs. My cat suffices most of the time but I'm beginning to accept I'll not find a life partner, and that is okay. I'm not entitled to it.
Happy Birthday beautiful❤I'll turn 38 tomorrow 😜😘
I'm turning 35 this June and I'm panicking deep down because I'm just 5 years away from turning 40. I feel like I'm so behind in life. I really feel so anxious thinking about it. I'm so happy I found your channel. Everything you're saying is so relatable.
I feel you that was exactly how I felt last year turning 37. But you know what, I'm in a much better place than 12 months ago so really nothing to be anxious about. Just focus on being you, you are a beautiful human regardless of the numbers ❤️❤️
It makes no difference. I freaked out turning 37 two weeks ago. It is what it is. You’re going to turn 35 regardless, God willing. Be thankful
