At 35, I had just become a mum. I could not have known exactly who I would become or where life and work would take me next.
Looking back, the thing I would want that younger version of me to know is that life was not closing in. In many ways, it was only just beginning.
Getting older has brought experience, perspective and a much stronger understanding of what matters to me. I have learned that you do not need to have every stage worked out before you begin the next one.
There are things I would do differently, as there are for all of us, but I would not want to lose the woman those years helped me become.
What would your younger self be relieved to know about your life now?
