Hi lovelies, I can't believe it but I just turned 38! I spent my birthday doing a lot of deep reflection and today, I want to share my thoughts with you about aging, maturing, and the experience of being a woman in her late 30s.
As I bake some fresh bread and run errands, join me for an honest and genuine discussion. Buckle up-it's going to be a real and insightful chat!

How do you cope with restarting at an older age. I'm in my mid thirties and I am retraining jn a different country. It is so hard to accept being so low and so dependent on others when I'm already in a more senior position back home.

I love this! I've been struggling with finding meaning, identity and purpose in my life with being a SAHM for several years and children now at full time school, I've been feeling lost on what's next. I've been looking into studying nursing but at almost 45 years old thought I may be too old to study and start a new career so thank you for sharing and reassuring me you are never too old!

Your voice is so soothing! I was so lost in my 30s. I wanted a relationship so bad and to have children. It didn't happen. I was in the wrong relationships where the guys didn't want kids. In my 40s I decided to do it alone. I didn't have time to wait for the right guy. I gave birth to my first child at 48 and am currently pregnant at 50 with my second child.

Yes!! My mom just had a baby at 46, and it’s so clear that she was finally ready for a kid. She was never there for my brother and I, I hardly saw her in my life. But I am so happy for her to finally find what career she wants and to be with a man she sees herself with forever and a baby girl. She would tell me when she was young she always wanted a daughter. We’re really in a new age, with so much health technology, we’re a lot healthier longer if we make the right choices and have access to some of the technology.

Life didn’t start for me until the day I turned 30 during the Pandemic. In this order: During COVID I honed my cooking skills, learned to read and speak French, Traveled to France (and French Canada twice!), changed careers from retail to tech (started working for a well known tech giant as an engineer), most importantly I finally learned to verbally set boundaries and make requests. And happiest of all- I met my now husband! ❤ A man committed to hard work & financial gains, inner personal growth, better communication, and building a happy family. All this since 2020! I’m only 33!

You are extremely gorgeous and beautiful, young and youthful. I'm glad that single women in their 30s are making more content. We should also remember that this moment that we are living is the youngest that we will ever be. When we are in our 60, 70s and beyond, we will WISH we were in our 30s and 40s, because we will realise how young that was. So we should be happy with where we are in life, and don't allow the society to dictate what is old, what is expired, what is useless, what is hopeless. As long as we are alive, there is hope, for everything, for all our wishes and desires.

I'm 30 and I'm glad to hear someone else going through a similar situation like me. Lately, I have been thinking about going back to college or study a master's degree, but it is confusing. After months of looking for an answer, I realized that most of my motivation to study was to gain a better "status" in society. I thought studying was going to make me feel better about myself, but in reality, I was just trying to please others. Once I noticed that I took time alone to reflect and realized that I didn't want to go back to college. I want to keep learning in my own way: attending short courses, seminars, or reading books. Letting go of the pressure society puts on us is a good place to start if we want to create a more meaningful life.

The jobs include technical, nursing, manual, cleaning etc… there are a lot of people on this visa type from Vietnam and Nepal but there are people from many other countries too.

im 42 going on 43 this year most people think im in my early 30s because i take care of myself, i eat healthy workout throughout the week, and i dont have any kids, i feel better now than when i was in my mid 20s, but with more knowledge on life, The one thing i learned as a 42 yr old man is that you never stop learning in this life, and look forward to the coming years, Age with Pride

Yo happy birthday Poppy. Thanks for sharing your day with us, and providing some more excellent wisdom. I'm 36, and essentially in the same bracket as you, so I really relate to a lot to what you're saying in this video, and your other videos. Completely 100% with you on the importance of taking care of oneself as we get to this stage. I feel like I'm finally at a place where consistency with my fitness will soar. Wish I had caught on long ago, but better late than never. I remember you talked about 90 days in your last video, and I'm looking forward to that milestone. Anyway, I appreciate all that you do, and your words are helping more people than you know. You're beautiful inside, and out. That bread looks good by the way. Cheers.

This has been weighing heavily on my mind since i turned 33. I was completely lost in my 20s. Health issues, unable to find and keep a job. Chasing girls and partying. Mental health problems. It wasnt until i turned 30 that i finally got a full time job. My first entry level software job and I feel so ashamed and behind. And its made me depressed. I wish i had the mindset i had now back in my early 20s. I dont know wtf happened. Its like the blindfolds are off and ive been hit by realization and reality that im behind. Im 33 now and it feels like my life is over. This wasn't the life i pictured for myself. I thought id be better than i am now but im not. Please I'd love some encouragement

I’m 33 as well and suffered very badly from depression and anxiety most of my life. I threw away so many opportunities to get ahead in life because of it. I graduated from high school yeah but never finished a degree. I always wanted to work in the medical field but did not feel as if I had the capacity to study at a university level to completion as my focus shifts very easily and so I spent 12 years in a retail job working part-time that I began to loathe towards the end. I wasn’t the partying type but very introverted and socially awkward. I dated many people who were not the one, and even now I still wonder if I’ve found the right person as we seem to have more off days than good. But now I am in the medical field assisting doctors and it’s a fulfilling job and I enjoy it. It’s not full time and it’s not exactly my “dream” job but I am hoping to reinvent myself. You’re not alone and you’re not behind. We are told to choose our life path when our brains are still developing and some people were still unsure of what they wanted back then. I was one of those people. And so are you. But you are not alone and we will be okay, don’t worry. :) You got this. ❤

Hi Poppy! Thank you for this video. Ngl I'm a little bit crying after watching this video haha I'm 25 and sometimes it feels like my friends are ahead of me. I sometimes find myself wondering if I'll be able to achieve my goals and have a successful life in the future. But it changed after I watched this video. It feels like I'm being comforted by an older sister saying, "Relax, everything's gonna be okay". That's exactly what I need right now ❤

Were all just souls on this earth experiencing what it feels like to be human. Society puts all these pressures on us for hundreds of years. Hitting certain benchmarks in life arent really important. Its just about being happy within ourselves and growing as people and forever learning. It took me a long time to figure that out. Im 42 and raising my 9yr old nephew. My life doesnt look like how my teenage self thought it would. But I feel like times are changing. We can all embrace unconventional lives. We dont need the cookie cutter life our mother's or grandmother's had. ❤

Okay I absolutely needed this. I’m 29 and turning 30 in November; I moved to a different city for a job and got in a relationship too soon after moving here that ended up ending this past Feb. Now I’m also planning to resign on Monday from my job because it’s just too toxic and awful for me to deal with. I’m scared at the idea of everything being over at 30 but this video gave me a lot of hope in a time of a lot of darkness. ❤

Thank you for sharing your experience from one 30 something to another. I've recently had a wake-up call about my eating habits that have carried over from my 20s. I used to be able to eat junk food and not think much about it. Now, I'm working to fix my relationship with food and not just eat something because it tastes good and is comforting. Just changing what I eat for a few days has made me feel more energized.
