23 Things I Wish I Knew Sooner (Life Lessons Nobody Teaches You)

If only someone had told us these things sooner...

It's already that time of year again. In today's birthday episode of Hot & Unbothered, spend another B(ri)-day with your host, Brianna Gomez, as we sit down for an intentional best-friend chat while the sun sets on my final day of being twenty-three.

From codependency and people-pleasing to grief, faith, healing, relationships, confidence, slowing down, and learning how to become comfortable in your own skin, I'm sharing the twenty-three lessons that changed me most this year and the hard truths I wish I'd learned sooner.

So grab a blanket, light a candle, pull out your journal, and let's talk. 💌

In this episode, we discuss:

Why the easiest choice isn't always the right one.

People-pleasing, honesty, and speaking your truth.

Codependency, boundaries, and healthy relationships.

Learning to take up space unapologetically.

Healing the parts of yourself you've tried to ignore.

Why a busy life isn't necessarily a beautiful life.

Grief, loss, and making the most of your life.
