Turning 30 is a pretty big deal and as the good little student I am, I wanted to use this milestone to reflect on what my twenties taught me, how I’m different, and how these lessons could help you too. In this episode, you’ll learn 10 things I’ve changed my mind about, including important mindset shifts that are vital for your academic success. I’ll share with you 10 pieces of advice for my 18-year-old self that would have greatly increased my happiness and set me on the path to awesome personal growth earlier. Finally, I’ll walk you through 10 ways that my life has changed from aged 20 to aged 30. How I’ve changed and the important factors in my growth, development and academic success to date.
