20 Days to 39: Resetting, Releasing, Recalibrating

I knew I needed a reset. Not a vacation, not a distraction, an energetic reset. That’s what last week’s Tom Ferry Success Summit gave me.

Life gets heavy sometimes. Circumstances stack up, and even when you keep moving, you can feel the weight. I needed to be in a room full of positivity, new ideas, and people who are obsessed with growth. That kind of energy shifts you.

And here’s where it got personal: I’m 20 days away from the last year of my 30s. That milestone has me thinking about the next version of me. What do I need to let go of? What habits, relationships, or patterns won’t serve where I’m headed? And what are the 1–3 daily behaviours that will anchor the life I want to build?

That reset cracked open bigger questions: Who am I becoming? What do I really, really want? What do I want life to look like 20 years from now?

Along the way, there were moments that stuck with me:

• Tim Grover’s reminder about child-like moments - because play, laughter, and joy shouldn’t disappear as we age.

• The idea that our heartbeats aren’t endless, and we should be more intentional about where we spend them.

• Tom Ferry’s callout of EGO over ECONOMICS - a gut-check on how ego can hold us back in so many ways, like when we're complaining, comparing, criticizing.

• The Google Maps metaphor: when you miss a turn, it calmly says “Recalculating.” That’s how I'm going to choose to respond to setbacks.

• The truth that pressure reveals what’s inside us - and consistency matters most when the novelty inevitably wears off.

• Don’t carry old losses into new opportunities. Build mental toughness.

• That the best people in the world have a very small gap between knowing and doing.

• Be obsessed. Those who are obsessed give the ones who are merely 'interested' something to talk about.

  
  

This wasn’t just a week of learning, it was a reset. A reminder to recalibrate, to let go, and to clear space for what’s next. I'm ready!
