In This Season: Thirty Life Lessons I Learned By Thirty

Sharing is caring!

In This Season is an opportunity for me to be transparent about the highs and lows of life as a wife and mom. It’s my hope that my truths will encourage you and remind you that no matter what season you’re in, you have a purpose!

Welcome to the fourth installment of my In This Season blog series! It’s been an eventful few weeks since I’ve last posted. If you follow me over on Instagram then you know that we recently welcomed our newest bundle of joy into the world. A few weeks later, I officially turned the big 3 0.

I’m beyond grateful to reach such a milestone in my life and boy, I have learned A LOT over the past 3 decades. While many lessons came at a cost, some were the result of undeserved grace. So today I want to share 30 life lessons that changed my life or, as I like to call it, my 30 for 30!
