So You’re 30, Now What?

What do you mean now what?

I’ve yet to meet a woman in her 30s who isn’t running full tilt through her life. As we leave our 20s behind we find that no matter how diverse we are as women, we all have one thing in common – we’re busy. Whether you are a mom with young kids, on the fast track at work or just getting by, you’re likely to be busy during your 30s.

This will be the busiest (and probably most productive) decade of your life. For many women, this decade will be when you:

Start & raise a family
Determine your career path and goals
Get involved in your community
Take over many holiday and family responsibilities from your parents
Or establish family ties with a group of close friends
Solidify your religious views
Work at relationships
Start worrying about your health and taking care of yourself

Women in their 30s tend to be running all the time. These are the women who never seem to have enough time yet always seem to be getting things done. It is this period when you might find yourself doing laundry while planning your next day at work, feeding your family and deciding on weekend plans. At the same time you might also have your bills, debt, future goals and worries consuming your mind.

Multitasking is the buzzword of this decade. If you turn 30 asking what’s next, the answer will come fast and furious. Be prepared to get busy, and fast.
