Hello everyone! This is Ashley from Stacks and the City and I want to share with you why I feel like the information that radiates social media on our 30s is 100% a lie: and here's why:

Lie #1: You're so much more confident in the way you look.

NOT TRUE AT ALLLL- especially when you factor having children, weight gain, and this strange new word: collagen. There's even more pressure to market to women based on us "aging". Between that and seeing yourself look slightly different than you did before it's tough!!!

Lie #2: You Career Starts to Thrive

Can I share a secret? I have never had a promotion in my life- EVER. As a result, my career is not as popping as I'd want. Between not pursuring graduate education and (unsuccessfully) pursuing entrprenuership twice, I'm feeling a little defeated.

Lie #3: Meaningful Relationships:

The most interesting part of being in your 30s is the relationships you have continue to shift and (sometimes) erode. Between your friends becoming more insular with their families, and being hard to find new friends, relationships are really difficult to create and maintain.

Are there any things in your 30s that you find interesting? What have you been told about in your 30s?
