I absolutely love these ideas! I’m 26 now so might start thinking about my own before 30 list - it seems like an even clearer way to understand what I want my life to look like 🫶✨
I’m definitely going to sit down with a cup of tea and journal my list! I’ve felt this sense of dread moving towards my 30s but this has already made me feel lighter. Need to chat to you about some of these because we definitely have some crossover dreams! x
I turn 29 in a week and this birthday also has me particularly reflective! I'm loving it, and I'm loving this list! I have a few similar hopes - learning to sew, running some sort of race, getting a specific tattoo, etc.
PS: Gilmore Girls is my favorite show so you are in for a delightful treat
such a lovely list! these sort of lists can be so good at just being the intention that helps you make the first step towards your goals – i certainly need to remember that self-esteem is built from esteemable acts, and that the more i do the things i say i want to do, the more my comfort zone expands and the closer and closer i get to the life i want to live! sometimes you just have to book that course or have that conversation i guess. sending birthday wishes x
I love this list so much! Happy birthday! I turned at the end of June. A lot of my recent goals and intentions have been very similar to yours. I ran a half marathon last summer, I recently earned my certification in landscape design a couple months ago for the purpose of designing a cottage style planting at our house, I am learning to grow vegetables and not just flowers. I cannot wait to read updates on these intentions. Happy year of almost 30!
The best thing is that the content can change as we go through the years 🥰 even my annual wishes change sometimes as I grow, evolve and learn. I absolutely love being 31 and am so glad I feel more rooted in myself and my life. I don’t think I’ve written down my list of things I carry them more as intentions and dreams in my heart (apart from my Imbolg intentions in paper) but now I’m inspired to maybe write a list too and even if it’s just to look back and see what still feels true after a while 🥰
I just turned 30 two weeks ago, so this came in at the perfect time :) You've inspired me to make my own 30s in my 30s list. I'm definitely including nr. 14, 25 and 26. My 20s were all about (self) discovery, and I think the main focus of my 30s is going to be designing my life in such a way that I can fully focus on my strengths and have enough time for all of my interests.
I love the idea of designing your life, I feel that! So much shedding happens in your 20s and discovering who you really are, your 30s are the time for putting it into action
Happy early birthday Jodie! I loved reading these. I am also going to learn how to sew in the next few months and start a pottery class this evening. It feels so good to not put off the things I’m wanting to learn. I’m excited to see where this takes you!
Some wonderful ones in there Jodie… I always intended to do a 30 before I was 30… and then a 40 before I was 40… and here I am approaching my 41st birthday and thinking maybe it’s going to need to be a 50 before I’m 50!! 😂 it’s a lovely way of setting intentions I think. I found reflecting over my 30s last year, before I turned 40, that I had done way more than I thought I had… so it’s also really nice to do a lovely list of what you HAVE already done too. Xxx

Ooooh that's the perfect age! I loved putting it together, it's made me feel excited about life and everything there is to look forward to 😌

Jenna we do! When I see you pop up I keep meaning to message… so think August/ September would be a good time ❤️
Aw that would be perfect! I’ll pop you a message soon x
I always love love getting your emails.
Love learn to sew and start mending my clothes/ things for the house
So many lovely things on your 30 list.
Happy birthday.
Kiki x
Happy birthday Jodie! Hope you had a lovely time celebrating the big 2-9!
I really enjoyed reading your list 😊
I recently turned 30, with similar trepidation on the aging process, and wrote a little about it here, which might resonate - https://laurenkatepowell.substack.com/p/musings-on-turning-30 🎉

I feel that Josie! For so long I wasn’t allowing myself to dream because it felt too scary to do so/ I wondered how I’d make those things possible!

I absolutely love this! Running a 10K is soooo doable! I started my running journey in 2022 and have never looked back!
I’ve ran a half marathon before but never ran anywhere near that since 😅 now 10k does feel like a stretch, so thank you for this reminder!
What a wonderful list! Sounds like we might be pretty similar because 6 of the things on your list I have been wanting to do as well!
What a lovely list! Happiest of birthdays!

So happy I found your list! I’ve literally just started a new entire Substack to explore my 30 goals before 30 https://open.substack.com/pub/canwenotevolve?r=4h63f&utm_medium=ios

ooh you have some really great stuff on this list! I'm turning 27 in a couple weeks I think I'm going to do something similar🥰

Oh there’s some good ones on here! I love doing a puzzle all year round but especially between Christmas Day & new years in my pyjama 😂
I might need to make a list like this as well.
hahah, absolutely pyjamas are essential!
