22 Life Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner (Ha...

Brianna Gomez
About this episode

In today’s special birthday episode of Hot and Unbothered, I’m sharing 22 life lessons I wish I knew sooner — the real, hard-earned wisdom that’s shaped me into the woman I am today at 23. From surrendering control and choosing peace, to what confidence actually is (hint: it’s not the outfit or the boy), these are the truths I keep coming back to when life gets overwhelming, chaotic, or just plain confusing.

This isn’t just for girls turning 23 — this episode is for anyone who’s trying to grow into their higher self, let go of pressure, and trust their own timeline.

These lessons will hit especially if you’ve been feeling burnt out, unsure of your purpose, or craving a deeper sense of peace and alignment. Think of this as your older sister’s gentle (but honest) reminder that you’re not behind, and you’re not alone.

Take what resonates, and leave what doesn’t — but I hope something in here makes you feel a little more clear, confident, and connected.
