    23 Things I've Learned in 23 Years of Life
    Nov 26 2024

    In this reflective episode, I share 23 life lessons I’ve gathered over my 23 years. From the importance of embracing change and setting boundaries to the simple act of putting your shopping cart back, this list touches on personal growth, self-compassion, and advocating for others.

    We dive into topics like harm reduction, challenging biases, and the myth of equal opportunity while also tackling lighthearted truths—like why ranch doesn’t belong on pizza. Whether it’s learning to love yourself unapologetically or realizing the value of reaching out to loved ones, these lessons are a mix of the serious and the playful, offering something for everyone to connect with.

    Tune in for some wisdom, laughs, and maybe even a few lessons you’ll take to heart!
