Thank you for this. I’m turning 40 this year and only got into music professionally recently and am feeling unsettled about it. Thank you for the reminder that age is not the deciding factor.

You did it again! Another blog so many women can relate to. I had my mid life crisis at 29 lol! so it’s been all down hill from there.

I didn’t know what I was doing as a teenager or even in my 20’s. We can’t all be a Taylor Swift! Ha ha!

But it was all a learning experience and I’m a better person and musician because of my age.

I am proud to say I’m 45! The best is yet to be! :)

Haha I love the idea of you at 29 thinking you were mid-life. The best is absolutely yet to be and I'm very grateful to get to be a small part of your journey!!

Thanks Lea :) The older I get the more "youth is wasted on the young" rings true. Life experience and confidence is so much more valuable than youth - but I wouldn't mind my 20 year old back some days!
