63. In my 30s, I finally topped trying to become a "better" version of myself | reflection on getting older, anxious attachment & building a home for your favorite self
from Paths Back to You · host Dia Jin
A reflective essay on the quiet, deeper shifts between your 20s and your 30s: learning to leave things alone instead of fixing them, building a sense of home that lives inside you instead of in a relationship or a place, choosing the people who bring you back to yourself, and getting more comfortable in the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next.It's not a glow-up story, and there's no five-step plan. More on what it means to stop chasing a "better" version of yourself and start building a home for your favorite one.In this episode:– Why leaving things alone is sometimes more productive than fixing them– The difference between managing yourself and actually taking care of yourself– How anxious attachment, old friendships, and a stuck identity kept me small / what you might be missing out on– Making peace with getting older and the new excitement of uncertainty– Taking authorship of your life instead of living from the past🔑 https://diajin.com (FREE resources & paid offers)✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribeSocials:🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@diajin🐝 YouTube:https://youtube.com/@diajin
