In this birthday episode of the EmpowerHER Podcast, Diana reflects on turning 33 and shares 10 lessons from her twenties and early thirties for anyone feeling “behind.” She explains that you don’t need everything figured out in your twenties, confidence can be built as a skill, and therapy is essential for growth and healing. She challenges societal and patriarchal timelines around marriage and kids, encourages listeners to take risks and “do the thing,” and emphasizes loving yourself now rather than after external achievements. 00:00 – Birthday episode  + turning 33 reflections02:00 – Lesson 1: You don’t need to have everything figured out in your 20s04:30 – Lesson 2: Confidence is a skill (not a personality trait)07:00 – Lesson 3: Therapy isn’t optional08:45 – Lesson 4: The timeline was never yours11:00 – Lesson 5: Do the thing (even if it scares you)13:30 – Lesson 6: Love yourself now16:00 – Lesson 7: The right partner comes when you stop settling17:30 – Lesson 8: Money is freedom18:45 – Lesson 9: Working hard isn’t the enemy20:00 – Lesson 10: Contentment > happiness21:45 – Final reflections: You are not behindFollow Diana: Work with me: ⁠https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/1-1-coaching Email- [email protected] - https://www.coachdianadebolt.com/ Instagram -  @coachdianadeboltTiktok - @coachdianadeboltIf you loved this episode, rate, review and subscribe!
