What I Would Tell My 33-Year-Old Self | A Birthday Reflection on Growth, Faith, and the Future
What I Would Tell My 33-Year-Old Self | A Birthday Reflection on Growth, Faith, and the Future
In today’s episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast, I’m recording my final episode of being 33.
Tomorrow I turn 34.
Birthdays are such powerful transition moments. They give us a chance to reflect on who we were, who we are becoming, and the vision we’re stepping into next.
In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful reflection practice I often use in my own EFT tapping work and with my private clients — a practice that allows you to connect with your past self, your present self, and your future self all at once.
Together we explore:
• What I would say to the version of me turning 33 one year ago
• The biggest lessons this year taught me about faith, rebuilding, and peace
• How learning to enjoy life between answered prayers changed everything
• Why sometimes what feels like loss is actually realignment
• The importance of choosing peace before expansion
• What truly matters most when it comes to success, family, and purpose
• A message to my future self one year from now
This past year brought unexpected changes, deep healing, spiritual growth, and profound gratitude.
It reminded me that sometimes the path to our dreams looks completely different than what we imagined — but that doesn’t mean we’re off track.
Often it means we’re being guided somewhere even better.
If you’re currently in a rebuilding season, I hope this episode reminds you that the chapter you’re in right now may be preparing you for something more beautiful than you can see yet.
A Reflection Practice for Your Birthday
If you're listening to this around your birthday, try this simple reflection exercise:
-
Imagine yourself exactly one year ago.
-
What would you say to that version of you?
-
What lessons did this year teach you?
-
Now imagine yourself one year in the future.
-
What do you hope she thanks you for?
You can journal through these questions or tap through them using EFT to release emotions and integrate your growth.
Key Takeaway from This Year
One realization changed everything for me this year:
True success is having peace between answered prayers.
So many of us spend our lives chasing the next milestone, the next achievement, the next breakthrough.
But the real win is learning to love your life while you're still waiting for the next prayer to be answered.
Questions to Reflect On
Take a moment and ask yourself:
• What would you say to the version of you from one year ago?
• What did this past year teach you?
• What would you like to say to the version of you one year from now?
