Unlocking Your 20's and 30s: 3 Questions to Create the Life You Want | Stephanie Wilson | TEDxUSD

That decade between a woman's 25th and 35th birthday is where she makes most of her life defining decisions-- I call this The Everything Era. The Everything Era represents a woman's most foundational life years... It's the time for us to set the tone for our identities, our careers, our homes, and our families. And yet, we are currently separated by only ONE generation of women who still had to have a man's permission in the U.S. to have a bank account! While these outdated ways have thankfully expired, we are now coming up against a lot of pressure to make ALL of our decisions within a 10 year window! Before we can decide what we want our lives to look like, we need to question our thoughts and beliefs - and WHO they came from. Are these people who we want deciding the direction of our lives? I believe there are three questions every woman can ask herself to get more connected to the life she actually wants: (1) WHAT do I think I'm "supposed to do" (2) WHO told me it has to be this way? (3) Are they right? The more I looked around at the actual women in my life that I admired- and saw how they were putting their lives together in many different ways that were beautiful and specifically suited to them, the more I was able to see that there was room for me to do the same in my own Everything Era. This is what I want for everyone. "I'm Stephanie May Wilson and through my books, courses, and podcast, I help women take off the pressure of what they think their lives are supposed to look like by now — and then intentionally, confidently, and authentically build the life they actually want to live. My biggest passion is helping women navigate some of the major life transitions so many of us experience in our 20s and 30s...
Being single and getting into a relationship, getting engaged and then married, changing jobs, moving to a new city, and (this is the HUGE transition I've been going through lately!)... becoming a mom.
I’m here to be a mentor, a friend, a guide, and a cheerleader. I'm here to tell you that you're not alone in what you're going through, and that you WILL make it through.
