Deep dives
Reflecting on Personal Growth
Throughout the year, I experienced significant personal growth, including moving from Atlanta to New York and then to LA. I overcame the fear of leaving my comfort zone and realized that my identity isn't solely tied to a specific city. This transformation has allowed me to embrace new experiences and explore different aspects of myself.
The Importance of Prioritizing Happiness
I learned the importance of prioritizing my own happiness and making choices that align with my values. This included making the decision to get off birth control and prioritize my well-being. It was a transformative experience that allowed me to connect with myself on a deeper level and make choices that truly reflect my desires and needs.
The Power of Building Strong Relationships
This year, my friendship with my podcast co-host grew stronger as we navigated major life changes together, like moving cities and making major career decisions. We supported each other and uplifted one another, reminding me of the importance of having a strong support system in life.
Embracing Change and Finding Happiness in Unexpected Places
I learned the value of embracing change and not being afraid to deviate from my original plans. Moving to a new city and experiencing different environments opened my eyes to new possibilities and brought me unexpected happiness. It reminded me that life doesn't always turn out the way we expect, but it can lead to incredible opportunities and personal growth.
The Importance of Letting Go and Not Holding onto Control
One of the main lessons discussed in the podcast is the importance of letting go and not trying to control everything. The speaker emphasizes that there are certain things that are beyond our control, and it is crucial to accept this and move on. By learning to let go, we can experience more freedom and peace in our lives.
The Value of Having Supportive and Genuine Friendships
Another key point highlighted in the podcast is the significance of having supportive and genuine friendships. The speaker emphasizes the positive impact that close friends can have on our lives, especially girlfriends. They discuss the joy and support that these friendships bring, and emphasize that it is never too late to make new meaningful connections.
Embracing Change and Taking Risks
The podcast stresses the importance of embracing change and taking risks in life.

They emphasize that even though change can be scary, it often leads to personal growth and new opportunities.
