Every year brings new challenges, breakthroughs, and insights that shape who we are and how we navigate the world. My 37th year was no exception. As I reflect on the past year, I realize how much I’ve grown—not just in business, but in life, relationships, and self-awareness.
This past year has been a journey of flow, boundaries, fun, support, and values-based living—all lessons that have helped me step into a more aligned and fulfilling life. In this episode of The Success Diaries, I’m breaking down my top five takeaways from my 37th year and how you can apply them to your own journey.
Life Lessons from Turning 37
1. Flow Over Force
I’ve learned that trying to control everything only leads to stress and resistance. Instead, embracing flow—trusting the process, surrendering to timing, and allowing opportunities to unfold naturally—has created more ease and success in both my business and life.
Lesson: Success doesn’t always come from pushing harder; sometimes, it comes from letting go and trusting that the right opportunities will align.
2. The Power of Boundaries
This year reinforced just how essential boundaries are. Whether it’s protecting my time, energy, or emotional well-being, I’ve learned that saying no to the wrong things makes space for the right things to flourish.
Lesson: Setting clear boundaries isn’t about shutting people out—it’s about honoring yourself and what you need to thrive.
3. Prioritizing Fun
As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get caught up in the constant grind of business. But this past year taught me that fun is just as important as productivity. Making time for play, creativity, and adventure has made me more energized and inspired in every aspect of my life.
Lesson: The more fun you allow into your life, the more joy and inspiration you bring into your work.
4. Leaning Into Support
One of the biggest shifts I made this year was learning to receive support instead of always being the one offering it. Whether in business or personal life, having the right people around you makes all the difference.
Lesson: You don’t have to do everything alone—building a strong support system is key to sustainable success.
5. Values-Based Living
Everything became clearer when I started making decisions based on my values rather than external expectations. Aligning my business and lifestyle with what truly matters to me has brought more fulfillment than ever before.
Lesson: When your choices reflect your values, life feels more intentional, meaningful, and aligned.
