’m sitting here with Peaky Blinders playing in the background thinking about what I want to share with you guys regarding life lessons in my 20’s. The 20’s were nothing like I expected. I often times feel like celebrities sell us this false narrative of what life is like when your young. I decided I want to share with the ladies out there how they can come out winning in their 20’s and make the most of such a vulnerable and uncharted time of life.
Here are my top 10 take away’s from my 20’s.

- Be proud of yourself: Don’t wait for others to cheer you on and believe in you. Give yourself the permission to be proud of yourself.
- Network Network Network! You network will determine the level of success you will have. Meet lots of people and build with others where it’s a healthy mutual relationship.
