Upside Down and Single: Coaching Handstands and Navigating Life

Welcome back to episode 14 of The Outspoken 30s. After a month-long hiatus, I'm back with more chatter! Today, I'm diving into my latest adventure: coaching handstands to gymnast. It's been a whirlwind of excitement and challenges, but seeing these little ones light up when they conquer a handstand makes it all worth it. Coaching has taught me the importance of genuine conversations and setting boundaries, even if it means disappointing others occasionally. And let's not forget the ups and downs of adulting—dating woes, comparison traps, you name it. But hey, being single for six years has taught me self-love and independence. So here's to embracing the journey, the challenges, and the occasional Irish accent after a few too many drinks. Life's too short to take ourselves too seriously, right? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
