71. When Did Wanting More in Life Start Feeling Wrong? | Life in Your 30s5 Feb18 min

<p>Lately, I’ve been thinking about how the desire to grow, change, or dream bigger somehow gets heavier as we get older — especially in our 30s. The expectations, the timelines, the pressure to “have it all figured out”… it can make you feel selfish or unrealistic for wanting something different at this age.</p><p>In this episode, we talk about why life doesn’t move in a straight line, how everyone’s timeline looks different, and why it’s actually okay to want more no matter where you’re at right now. I share real-life reflections, the fear of taking risks, and what it means to choose yourself without guilt.</p><p>Consider this episode your permission slip to want more in life, and to put your own needs first 🧡</p><p>🌼 <strong>Book a 1-on-1 Call with me now:</strong> <a href="https://coaching.wendyvaz.com/">https://coaching.wendyvaz.com/</a></p><p><strong>TIMESTAMP:</strong></p><p>0:00 intro – when did wanting more start feeling wrong</p><p>1:23 why wanting more gets harder as we get older</p><p>1:32 expectations of life in your 30s</p><p>2:53 appreciating life but feeling pressure to achieve</p><p>4:39 life isn’t linear (and that’s okay)</p><p>5:17 real life examples of different timelines</p><p>7:31 it’s never too late to change direction</p><p>8:37 playing it safe vs taking the risk</p><p>9:06 feeling selfish for choosing yourself</p><p>11:27 seasons of giving vs receiving</p><p>12:35 it’s okay to want more in life</p><p>14:05 dreaming big but responsibly</p><p>15:35 your permission slip to want more</p><p>17:16 outro</p><p><strong>If you liked this video, you might also enjoy:</strong></p><ul><li>Imposter Syndrome Stopping You from Achieving Your Goals | It&#39;s Not Mindset—It’s Your Nervous System -</li></ul><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6dZd61OuVLwsKG7ldeKdcp?si=7a11e013d7a64cfd">https://open.spotify.com/episode/6dZd61OuVLwsKG7ldeKdcp?si=7a11e013d7a64cfd</a></p><ul><li>Declutter Your Life: Reset Your Space, Mind, and Goals - <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2iZFhIRpzwdM8649mk1Sgw?si=a96a4a4bb17b4738">https://open.spotify.com/episode/2iZFhIRpzwdM8649mk1Sgw?si=a96a4a4bb17b4738</a></li></ul><ul><li>Your Comfort Zone Is Quietly Stealing Your Life - <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3acxsda6ddvygx89eAyIbp?si=6bac058822694c42">https://open.spotify.com/episode/3acxsda6ddvygx89eAyIbp?si=6bac058822694c42</a></li></ul><p><strong>Follow for more:</strong>🎬 Follow me on YouTube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@WendyVaz/">https://www.youtube.com/@WendyVaz/</a>🌻 Subscribe to my newsletter - <a href="https://wendyvaz.substack.com/">https://wendyvaz.substack.com/</a>🌼 Follow me on IG &amp; TikTok: @wendyvazzy</p><p><strong>For Sponsorship and Collaboration:</strong> <a href="mailto:hello@wendyvaz.com">hello@wendyvaz.com</a></p>
