Every time I interview a 40-something woman for 40:20 Vision I ask them what 3 “gifts” would they give a 20-something if they were a “Forty-Godmother”. Here are one woman’s gifts:
1.
Find your own normal. Don’t spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think is normal …it will only distract you from finding your thing. Of course you have to understand boundaries but then …enjoy testing them!
2.
If you’re changing your family status, you need to be steady on your job. If you’re changing your career, then you need to be steady on your relationships/family status.
3.
Don’t be afraid to surprise yourself. The “nevers” of your 20s may become the “maybes of your 30s and “yesses” of your 40s.
