Hello, daddy gang.
Welcome back to another episode of call her daddy.
I am so excited for today's episode because, as many of you know, I recently just turned 30 years old.
And I have a lot that I want to talk about today because my perspective on turning 30 is so wildly different from what I thought it would be when I was younger.
30 years old sounded so freaking old.
And then when I got into my twenties, I think I really viewed the number 30 as, oh, that's probably like.
That's kind of just like, when the fun ends, like, this is where it all ends.
You turn 30 and it all changes.
And I will be honest, I found myself in my twenties getting slightly anxious each year that I got closer to that number.
Because when you think of 30, it feels like there's this connotation that comes with it and an expectation of once you hit 30, you essentially need to have everything figured out right.
Everything needs to be settled and lined up.
And if you don't have every single aspect of your life in order by 30, you're fucked.
And through this show and therapy and talking with my girlfriends and just growing up in general, I have learned that, truly, that could not be farther from the truth.
But I'm aware, obviously, that our perception of aging as women is so warped and so fucking negative.
We all feel it.
