Hey, there! To kick off 2023, I drink some peach tea in a Juan Valdez mug. In my life update, I give a rundown of the past few weeks. In this episode, I share the lessons I learned at the age of 18:\n1. Your fear of \u201cadulting\u201d can be solved by simply keeping up with things. Mechanisms are in place to keep you up to speed. Just check your email and reach out if needed.\n2. Curtains are really good at hiding messes.\n3. It\u2019s okay to do things last minute.\n4. Life really will throw you the same lesson until you learn it (or so we\u2019re able to notice).\n5. There\u2019s always \u201csomething\u201d, maybe we should alter our definition of \u201cnormal\u201d.\n6. Stack outside activities.\n7. It\u2019s not that sometimes you don\u2019t think, it\u2019s that usually don\u2019t and it works out.\n8. It\u2019s all about standards.\n9. Things always have so much more shifting to do.\n10. You actually need to treat things.\n11. If you want a friendship like in the movies, make it.\n12. Self compassion.\n13. Life is a humbling experience.\n14. Things ALWAYS work out.\n15. Just because the first world does it like that, doesnt necessarily mean it\u2019s the right way.\n16. The suitcase doesn\u2019t need to be flat.\n17. You are at peace when you have expressed to the people in your life how you feel about them.\n18. \u201cThe family you choose\u201d is cheesy but it\u2019s very real.\nI close by recommending The Good Place.\n\nTO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO 11:23\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nListen to my other podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3RhYyCBLVwBuNimne4zVCO?si=AG_LzDsuQdqBYedSmFOkfQ\nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nListen to my episode with Sara: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6Kv4ylKoZb11UEihfPGgMj?si=ivmfGgnORNmTXMYilrhMiw\nListen to my episode on acquiring flexibility: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Tu9TR5SzL1Q10ENQaptgs?si=L02VFZIlTf2s1Qp6Ooqv8g\n\n\nHERE ARE SOME QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n\n\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
