Hey everyone, it's your girl Breene Lee and welcome to the pep talk podcast where we have real, raw, relatable conversations with the pep talk you need.

You have the power to create your future with the choices that you made today.

What do you bring to the table? Baby, I am the table.

Fuck yourself a little bit more than that, ladies. Come on. Dust settles, queens don't. And don't

forget, know your worth and then attacks. Period. You're talking about 20 things I wish I knew

in my 20s.

For those of you who do not follow me on the gram, I don't know why you guys don't

don't follow me, you guys are giving me a hithabazz drinking.

I turned 31 last week, yeah, baby.

So I thought like this was the perfect time to make this video talking about 20 things I wish I knew.

Also, every time I do a Q&A, people are always asking me, like, what would you tell your younger self?

And I guess this is what I would tell my younger self.

Stay present. I know you have goals. I know you have dreams. I know you have things that you

your friends are getting older. And you have to cherish the moment. There have been so many people

who have lost friends along the way, lost family members, lost parents along the way. And I don't believe in having regrets. And I know that some people wish that they may have spent more time with their loved ones or their friends or their family. And now they can't get those times back. There are times for me when I was in my 20s and when we would come home from church, my mom and my grandmother will be in the kitchen, like clockwork every single Sunday. After they make the food, they'll sit down and they'll eat it. And more times I would be in my bedroom, just being antisocial. And I would sit there sometimes thinking, there's going to be a time my grandma's not going to be here. And I won't be able to get this time back. But I was too self-absorbed and too stuck in my own head and in my own feelings all the time to really stop and really observe what's going on around me and cherish the moments.

So I would definitely say number one is to slow down.

Like everything that you want to accomplish is going to happen and you being anxious or worried
