30 after 30

30 things I've learned after turning 30

March 2, 2015 , I turned 33 and thought to myself, "wow, I am definitely, a better person and woman I was before hitting 30". Everyone asked me how I felt to be 33 and my answer was....Amazing! 33 feels absolutely amazing. I feel like I know myself, I like myself, and I'm true to myself. I think these few things help with living a healthy, happy, successful life. So while on vacation in the Dominican Republic, I decided to write down 30 things I learned in my years that contribute to the most amazing person I am at 33. I will pick a few and go in depth on my podcast on soundcloud.
