6 Life Lessons I Learned at 36 🎂 - It's My Birthday!

[@mmconceicao]

This is just beautiful and inspiring. I am starting my life over at 35 in Paris, listening to this give me so must hope.

[@SaraFJones]

Monicasworld sound exciting, would be happy to hear about your journey if you start a channel! Much luck and success! 💖💖💖

[@genuinelysarcastic]

I can't even formulate a comment right now because I'm mind blown. I hope there's a book in your future! Happy Birthday and thank you for being such an inspiration!

[@CrysNov18]

Yes please write a book. I will be first in line! Lol

[@OneBigHappyLife]

Writing a book is on my bucket list!--Tasha

[@mollymason9182]

Same here! This is one of the best videos I've EVER SEEN!!! So much truth and honestly...it's so very refreshing. I think the book is a great idea.

[@nell4097]

“It’s not supposed to be easy” I needed to hear this, I wouldn’t wish struggling to conceive on anyone. I’m coming to terms with how my life may turn out, its not supposed to be easy.

[@jennifermiddendorf1830]

I'm not going to lie... This video made me cry!!! These are amazing lessons that at 33 I hope to apply to my own life. I have always enjoyed your channel but this video hit home is so many ways. I wish you all the luck in the years to come!

[@nicolevigo5349]

I just turned 31 on July 10th. I’ve really learned how to not take anything for granted. One day I’m perfectly fine and the next I’m diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The past year has been endless doctor appts and feeling crappy. Cancer is gone but still have doc appts every month and medication to take the rest of my life. Live your life the best you can, have fun, you never know when obstacles will be placed in your path.

[@emilyreeves7854]

Tasha, you are such an inspiration to me. I love love LOVE this video. You're a very wise lady--you remind me of my own mama! I would love to meet you in person one day--meet up plans?? Your discussion about identifying as a lawyer...and then making a huge pivot (!!) really spoke to me. I'm younger than you (22!) but I'm also making a huge pivot in my career and my life. I realized during my senior year in college that I felt a lot of moral conflict about my chosen career. My industry would ask me to do things that didn't align with my values...and I couldn't continue on that path. During my senior year, my parents both had serious health struggles, which lead me to a new vocation--I want to help people lead healthy lives. I'm going back to school to become a nurse practitioner, and I'm filled to the brim with excitement. Making this 360 was TERRIFYING, but I'm so glad I had the courage to pursue this path, despite the naysayers.

[@DH-uw3us]

Good for you and it’s great that you’re doing it now as opposed to getting too involved in your original field and feeling the regret. I know many people who didn’t make that choice and feel trapped in their current fields.

[@emilyreeves7854]

@@DH-uw3us Thank you:)

[@RachelJayne92]

I finally had the day that changed my mindset at work. I work in retail, and I hate it, but in my mind, I always come up with an excuse as to why I have to stay. (Bills, whatever) Well one awful day I just had it, and decided no more, and enrolled in a dental assisting course. I think I want to go onto prosthetics, but this is just the first stepping stone. Have to do this, before I can do that type thing. I too have come to the realisation the time is more important than money, even though I have plenty of time, and no money. 😂 I know I don’t want to be spending my time at that job, and would much rather be studying for the job I want. I’m 27, and cannot, and will not be in retail when I’m 60!

[@pittmusiclive]

Exactly! Congrats on your decision! I went back to school because of the same thing.

[@lovelyletter7460]

I’m just seeing this video now but happy birthday! The last challenge was probably the one that hit home the most for me - about accepting that life is supposed to hard and it’s not supposed to be easy. Things are not easy for me right now but I’m trying to keep this mind! Thank you! 😀

[@traceywright2995]

Happy Birthday!!! Fear is our greatest enemy. Glad to hear that you conquered your fear and embraced your transition. Your past prepared you for your future.

[@DH-uw3us]

FACTS.

[@marcellawoods2786]

Happy Birthday Tasha! Hair✔ Makeup✔ Life✔

[@BolanleJenny]

Happy birthday! Thanks so much for the positive words! I think the biggest thing that I learned this past year (23) how important my emotional and mental health is and how much that ties in with my finances.

[@shortykel27]

This video came at the right time. I will be 36 next month. Today, I am questioning my life ,career and what I really want to do with my life.

[@erinfrancisco8707]

Happy birthday Tasha! 🎉🎊 This made me cry.. Thank you for being transparent, open and honest with your experiences❤️.. Like my uncle says, one year older, one year wiser!

[@Amainezingsoaps]

Thankyou for keeping it realI l am a 54 year old woman married to the love of my life for the past 28 yrs and God continues to give us new hopes & dreams

[@lisaschreiber2893]

Omgosh, you are so young and have accomplished so much, no wonder why your daughter is such a go-getter. Happy birthday!! I hope this year is your best yet.

[@truebeauty1106]

Hey Tasha, I’m 22 i look at you like a big sis. I have one more semester before i finish college. A big lesson that I’ve learned early is that money is not everything when it comes to a job and that I’m not willing to sacrifice my mental health just for a paycheck.

[@onthemoney8356]

The 12 dislikes much not like birthdays...Because there is literally no other reason why someone could thumbs down this video......It's exceptional from the lighting, quality, content and that beautiful vibrant woman in front of the camera..

[@cutici]

Kacy's Kastle I’m dislike number 22 I just dislike the way she speaks However the content is eh ok

[@jessicaqu]

You've lived an incredible life. Would love to hear more about your personal, mental health journey. Would you be open to discussing some best practices (journaling, therapy, etc.) and how to develop the mental agility and strength?

[@OnThatNoteWithPenelope]

This video is another that gives me so much LIFE! I can not stress how motivated I am when I watch your videos. I’m 5 years your junior and I am preparing myself to saying goodbye to my job to work on my passion...I was going to say career but it’s so much more than that to me!!! Thanks for being you and true to your goals Tasha!

[@lunakarkadam]

Thank you so much for this heart-to heart! It´s always a huge boost of positive energy to hear: "You CAN do this". Everybody thinks that just because you are a "grown up" you automatically know how to do things and you won´t change anything...and if you do, again, everybody assumes you will know how to... I´m 46 and also making a huge change, career related. Thank you for this, today, because I´m a grown up and I don´t know sometimes how to do things.

[@0009stephanie]

I think based on what you’ve shared you’ve always been extremely entrepreneurial never letting anything stop you you have grit and that’s why you’ll always be successful you seem so happy

[@angelicahickerson3260]

Sometimes the journey brings you into a new season. 🙌🏾

[@jj-qr4ro]

You're such an inspiration to me. I have been set with the career I am going into since age ten and I first started getting volunteer jobs and positions at twelve- so quite early on and I have still stuck with it because it truly is my passion and what I love most in life but it makes me feel so much better to know that someone as successful as you still makes these big life pivots and also has doubts from time to time. I've been having to make a lot of important life decisions lately and I am so terrified I'm choosing the wrong path but this gives me hope that even if I choose poorly I can try again and make my dreams come true regardless. Thank you.

[@ewaderkowska9262]

The last lesson was very inspiring! I am now in the point in my life that me and my husband want to go into 2 completely different directions and we need to make a choice together. I would love to stick to the easy choice which is just staying where we are now (literally :D) and he wants to challange himself and our family and go somewhere else and that would allow us to grow on many levels, including financially. Thank you for saying that it's not supposed to be easy! I needed to hear that. I agree, it should be hard sometimes so later it can be different :) This past year I have grown a lot, I found out that being an adult can be fun, I am almost 29, married with 2 small children and I didn't want to grow up... Now I am finally letting myself grow and it feels so good! And part of my growth is thanks to your channel - you are really helping people with your work. Thank you!

[@crystalsanaei2157]

Speaking to my soul - I congratulate you on these revelations and being free to live and feel you're happiest life.

[@MariamHalfNomad]

Happy birthday! After my uncle suddenly died, I finally booked tickets and in few months started the journey of my dreams and completed the round the world. Don’t let fear shape your life is smth I learnt while being on the road. The pressure people around you put on you to have a certain life is insane, but I also found that we put pressure on ourselves. This year I felt myself being a looser in the eyes of the others, but on my birthday I heard from one person that I’m so inspirational because I follow my own path. Anyways 30s are liberating and fun, enjoy them 😉

[@zucchinigreen]

Happy birthday 🎉 Tasha! Thank you as always for sharing. This year I learned that I really need to invest in myself. Nobody else is going to do it for me. I'm trying to make changes to improve my career situation. Here's to continuous, small steps.

[@quick5withmarlene297]

Happy birthday Tasha.. You are such a blessing and I always look forward to your videos... Thank you for all the gems you are dropping 💜

[@brroookkeee]

You definitely made me realize when saying that you can change what you want to be “when you grow up” at any time. I’ll be 29 in 2 months and I have been a stay at home mom for almost 3 years, a month before my son was born I quit my job. I only quit because I wasn’t making a lot at all per hour and realized that daycare costs would have left me with taking home $150 per month... so we have relied solely on my husband’s income since then and it’s tough but I have an associates degree in early childhood education so 2 more years of school will give me an education degree to be an elementary school teacher which I always wanted to be. So maybe one day! My life isn’t over just because I’m not working until my son goes to kindergarten!

[@Hannah-pi2yr]

This video made me cry. Exactly what I needed to hear♥️

[@Simon-je7ko]

Happy Birthday. This pandemic crisis really did make me realize that I can't not rely on the gouvernement and a job. I really need to build something for me. I have several sources of income. One day I will do what I want. I will work just for fun. Not for money but for learning.

[@brooklynnpauline]

Thank you so much for these lessons and I pray that you have an absolutely beautiful birthday month!

[@andaspso4659]

Have a happy and blessed birthday. 🌷Thank you for the tips and for sharing your journey.

[@k.ambriz9789]

Oh man. All the feels! I can relate so much to what you said here. I'm 34 and having a baby hasn't been easy for us either. I try to focus on what is within my control and accept or let go of whatever is not in my control. While also appreciating all the beautiful parts of my life. We are so blessed in so many ways. Life isn't always what we expect it will be or think it should be. After my grandmother died I realized that I want quality over quantity. Once I let go of my expectations for others my marriage and relationships improved. I didn't even realize I was expecting all this stuff of other people or feeling responsible for them but that has really held me back and it didn't make things any better for them either. I want to be able to accept people as they are and love them from that place. Thank you so much for making this insightful, deep video. It fed my soul. Also happy birthday! 🎁🎊🎉🎈🎂

[@cynthiaalvarez9147]

Happy Birthday Tasha! I turn 34 next week and your story gives me so much inspiration and hope that I can push my life in a different direction and I’m not getting “too old” to change.

[@julijajd]

Happy birthday Tasha! You are doing a really great job! And you look GORGEOUS and beautiful inside out!!!! I am an attorney at law at this moment... it took me 10 years as well to get to my position and pass the bar exam... and know I took 3 months sabbatical to understand if I want to quit or not, and all your words about.. how can I do it after such a long and hard way to get to this position, but I still think that I will not have guts to do it :( But I am very happy about you! Such an inspiration!

[@future2331]

Great life lessons & YOU'RE STILL SO YOUNG..!! Happy Birthday Tasha..!!

[@mahy4431]

Happy delayed birthday! And thank you so much because I needed so badly to hear this to gain back some strength: I'm 36 right now and this year I made the decision to quit my ten year old job which I used to enjoyed, but the environment there slowly turned into a toxic one and I was miserable. Now I'm on a completely different field and right now I'm not making as much money as I used to make, even though I actually enjoy this new adventure and I started to feel insecure and scared even though I'm more careful with how I spend my income and save a lot. And of course, I've been heavily critized for quiting the safety of my former lifestyle. I was very driven at first, but these insecurities started to taking a toll on me these past few days.

[@DH-uw3us]

Happy belated birthday! One thing I have learned in 27 years is that I don’t have to wait to be happy. I can be happy now and not wait for the things that I want in life to start enjoying my life. I can and should enjoy my life now as it is knowing that it will change at some point, whether the change be good or bad. People usually don’t realize how good they have it until it is no longer that way anymore, and I don’t want to live my life like that. I have been through a lot in my life, but thankfully I am at a wonderful place right now where I am extremely blessed. It’s not all rainbows all the time, but when I put things into perspective I really can’t complain. Things can always be worse, no matter what you’re going through. There are things that I am looking forward to in the future, but I am enjoying my life as it is now in the mean time.

[@jettqk1]

Happy Birthday, Tasha! I love this update and these lessons. Some of these I also came to terms with in the last couple years (at age 37 and 38) -- especially how time is more important than money. When I realized that lesson, it was like a two-by-four to the head. My dad died in June 2015 at 68, planning to retire at 70. He never got there, and I didn't want to spend my time anymore worrying about money when it didn't matter. Money matters to an extent, of course, but that experience really made me think about how I'm spending my time -- and how I'm spending my money.

[@diverstalent]

Thank you

[@teesha99]

Happy Birthday!!! May you be blessed with many many more!

[@angelaroberts2882]

Happy birthday beautiful! I am 38 yrs old, and married with four children. I have been a stay at home mom for seven years and have never started a true career. I’ve been married since 23 yrs old although I love my family more then anything I feel lost as an individual. I want to embark on a career path and have no clue what I want to do. I feel very behind and even embarrassed about this entire situation. My husband has grown tremendously in his career and I think he expects me to figure this out ASAP! Any advice would be helpful, thank you for being transparent 😍😊😘
