Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's episode. At the time I'm recording this,

this is the last day of January. And a practice that I have built into my personal life is asking

myself at the end of each month, what did that month teach me? What did January

teach me? And there are a lot of different ways that I can answer this question and hopefully

the same is true for you. But I just want to share a little bit of what I feel like January taught me and hopefully the same is true for you. But I just want to share a little bit of what I

feel like January taught me in hopes that it can be somewhat of a thinking prompt for you as well

to begin to think. And I'll tell you how I kind of realize that as well. So the lesson that January

taught me is that maybe my 30s are going to be a little bit slower than I would have thought they were going to be I'm turning 33 at the end of this week on February 4th.

And so far this year, I feel that I have been physically moving a lot slower intentionally

than I have in past New Year's. And in some ways, I feel like I'm slowing down more and more.

And there's a lot that I could probably unpack there, but the biggest thing that I'm

taking away from Matt is that it's something that I am recognizing, at least in this season,

at least in this part of my 30s, I'm recognizing that I need. I'm, I'm recognizing that I want to spend my 30s

in some ways recovering from my 20s. My 20s were very busy, very fast-paced, and it wasn't just because of ambition or anything. It was just trying to put

the pieces together of life and just trying to survive and not knowing what I had going on,

neurologically, not knowing about the neurodiversity, not knowing about all the things that

were keeping me from being able to pace myself and figure out what works for me and what doesn't.

So as a result of that, my 20s ended up being incredibly active, to say the least.

And so far, 30s have been interesting as well. I turned 30 years old

one month before the lockdown started in 2020. And I can see that ever since then, it's just been

a journey toward trying to create room to breathe and trying to pace myself. And if anything,

January just taught me how important that is. And that is not something, that is not a season
