The following podcast is a dear media production.

Thank you for listening to Balance Black Girl.

My name is Les, I am your host and I appreciate you tapping in.

So I am coming at you with a special bonus episode this Friday in partnership with Nike. Now today I want to talk about the

little summer glow-up journey that I am embarking on. I have decided that this summer

I want to pour into myself more and become the

healthiest, happiest, hottest version of myself by my birthday at the end of the

summer. Now at the end of this summer it's kind of a big

birthday for me I'm turning 35 and for whatever reason I'm feeling more ways

about turning 35 than I felt about turning 30.

And I think it's because I had so much messaging in my head

around turning 30 that it was a good thing.

You know, I grew up in the era of the movie 13 going on 30.

And so 30, flirty thriving. thriving when I turned 30 I didn't

freak out about it because I thought oh I'm 30 flirty thriving that's cute and

then the second we started getting older than 30 I was like oh wait a minute

30 is cute being in my 30s is that cute I don't know and then my

mid 30s is that cute I don't know I've been having all sorts of feelings about it if you listen to

the podcast you've probably heard

because I bring it up quite a bit. But I have decided that instead of feeling a way about it, I'm going to

feel my best about it and I'm going to take the next few months to be my healthiest, happiest, hottest self.

Now if you're familiar with my story, I'm not necessarily new to these Wellness
