Last week, I was celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday when she asked the group for a piece of advice from those of us who have already walked through that decade.
My answer? Follow the nudges.
Pay attention to the tiny things that pique your curiosity and actually follow them. Because when you do, it leads you down a path you could never have scripted for yourself and honestly, one that usually far exceeds anything you could have “planned.”
I never actually intended to pioneer a path outside of the societal norms. There was no grand manifesto. It was just a slow combination of accepting where my life was at and following my own curiosity.
That curiosity is exactly what led me to:
🚐 Living and traveling in a van.
🧘🏼♀️Leading retreats around the world.
💻Building my own creative business from the ground up.
💛 Finding and marrying my person in my 40s.
None of those things were on my original roadmap, but they are the best parts of my life today.
I say this to encourage you…if you’re feeling stuck or like you have to white-knuckle your way through a specific 5-year plan, this is your sign to loosen the grip.
Start paying attention to what is drawing you in right now. What are you curious about today?
You don’t need the whole map. You just need to follow the next nudge and see what’s waiting for you there ✨
