Welcome to Your 30s — The Honest Truth Nobody Prepares You For

Welcome to Your 30s: The Honest Truth Nobody Prepares You For

The decade where the script quietly runs out and nobody hands you a new one.

Your twenties came with milestones. Your thirties come with questions: friendships that thin out without a falling-out, careers that look right on paper, bodies that start negotiating, and the strange discovery that everyone else is improvising too. This is an honest, unsentimental look at the decade nobody prepares you for — not a plan to fix you, just the truth told plainly by someone who has been paying attention.

Inside this book

• Why friendships thin out in this decade without anyone falling out
• The career question that arrives when the ladder stops being obvious
• Money, bodies and energy: what actually changes and what is myth
• Why everyone else seems to have a plan, and what they are really doing
