EP 71: 20’s Broke Me, 30’s Woke Me

Nurse John
About this episode

In this episode of the podcast we will talk about me. I turned 30! 

My 20s? A beautiful disaster. I spent a decade fumbling through bad decisions, broke bank accounts, heartbreaks that felt like near-death experiences, and lessons that came with receipts I still can’t pay off. But somehow, all that chaos turned me into someone stronger, smarter, and a little more dangerous—in the best way.


Now in my 30s, I’m done surviving and ready to thrive. This is where we turn the pain into power, laugh at the wreckage, and talk about what it really takes to grow, heal, and glow the hell up. I’ll share the hard-earned wisdom, messy stories, and the moments that broke me and built me.


Your 30s aren’t the end—they’re the upgrade. Let’s get into it.
