Never lose sight of YOUR STORY - Figuring out life at 35
from The BOWpod (aka The Body Of Work Podcast) · host andyscanvas
In this second episode of The BOWpod, it's 10:00 PM, and I'm recording despite less-than-ideal lighting. The struggle with overthinking the podcast becomes a theme as I reflect on the importance of simply documenting the process, imperfections and all. I touched on my personal journey, from moving at 18 from St. Maarten to the Netherlands to where I am now—a husband, father, and entrepreneur. The central message revolves around not forgetting our stories and appreciating every step, no matter how small. Addressing societal pressure to have it all figured out in our thirties, I challenge this notion. Inspired by interviews with those in their fifties excited about new endeavors, I debunk the myth of a set life plan. A captivating anecdote about a public speaking competition adds a unexpected twist, emphasizing resilience in the face of unexpected challenges. In conclusion, I share a heartfelt reminder that life is a constant evolution, and the journey matters more than arbitrary milestones.
