    21 Things I've Learned in 21 Years (Ft. Donna Ziemek)

    Welcome back to She's Not A Wallflower - IT'S MY BIRTHDAY 🥳 *record scratch* We're taking a quick break from our regularly scheduled programming to present a special birthday episode!  In this episode, Alex reflects on 21 of the best things she's learned in the last 21 years, from mindset shifts and personal revelations, to best purchases and key life lessons! She is joined by the wisest woman she knows: her Mum, Donna Ziemek. Whether you're fresh into your adult life or you've got lots of experience under your belt, this episode is for YOU!  Get comfy and grab a drink - this is going to be a good one! 🤍 21 things I've learned in 21 years (full list): A busy life is not necessarily a fulfilling life People and relationships are the most important things in life Money isn’t everything  Spotify premium is always worth it (not sponsored!) Setting aside “me time” is super important  Setting healthy boundaries isn’t selfish  Listen to your body  Your body has limits, and that’s a good thing  You cannot do your best when you are striving to be the best in ALL things You don’t need to hustle all the time  Invest in basic clothes  There is nothing lost in trying  Mistakes are just learning opportunities  It’s okay to ask for help It’s okay to not be okay Perspective is important  You’re not that important… (ouch!) Not everyone will like you – and that’s okay!  If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive  Don’t live to regret There's no "right time" (Episodes are released monthly. This is the August 2022 episode.) SHE'S NOT A WALLFLOWER: IG | @shesnotawallflower Email | shesnotawallflower@gmail.com Did you enjoy this episode? Let me know!
