I FEEL LIKE I STARTED LATE PURSUING MY DREAMS. People keep telling me that 33 isn’t old. That it’s a beautiful age to start over. That there are people much older who rebuild and still succeed. And I know all of that is true. On most days, I’m actually very cool and calm about it. But then there are days where it hits me. Like… I’m halfway through my adult life. Friends younger than me are already ahead. People my age are starting families, buying homes, living stable lives. And I’m here - downsizing to a smaller apartment, rebuilding, starting a new business from scratch after spending a whole decade helping other people build their dreams. Now I’m finally pouring that energy into myself. But some days I wonder… will I ever get to just enjoy life? Because the truth is: Some days it fuels me. It makes me move faster, dream bigger, take bolder risks. And other days? The loneliness creeps in. The financial uncertainty. The “what am I even doing with my life right now?” And I want to be real about that. Rebuilding in your 30s is empowering… but it’s also hard and sometimes very lonely behind the scenes. Still, I’d rather build late and aligned than stay comfortable and unfulfilled. If you’re here for real, honest rebuilding and growth, you’re in the right place 🤍 Follow for more: @linakathariina @linakathariina @linakathariina #startover #thirties #mindsetshift #smallcreator

Honest truths I never thought I’d share, but here we go… (pls don’t judge me for the dating part 😅) • Grew up in a small village where I never fit in. Always the outcast. Got bullied. Learned early what it feels like to not belong. • I always wanted to travel, but my parents expected the “safe path”: school, uni, job - fast. I watched my friends go backpacking while I worked service jobs and got a degree I didn’t even want (and to this day, never used). • I moved to Berlin to study. Finally found friends I felt safe with. Then I dated one of them… and got my heart broken so badly I had to leave the country to heal (hello study abroad program in Moscow, in winter 🥶). • At 23, I quit my first “real” job after 3 months because office life was slowly suffocating me. • At 25, I became a digital nomad. I wanted to be a creator, but fear of judgment made me quit Instagram after one month. I chose “safer” freelancing instead. I still wonder what would’ve happened if I’d kept going. • At 28, I became a yoga teacher. Loved it, but told myself I needed a “proper job” and walked away from it. • At 30, while traveling I started a writing business that failed within 6 months. My 8-year relationship ended at the same time. I found myself broke & single in Ecuador. • Moved back to Berlin, slept on friends’ couches for 3 months, worked a service job, managed to rebuild. • At 31, I dated the same old friend AGAIN. Got my heart broken AGAIN. Left the country AGAIN. (That’s how I ended up in Bali btw 😅) • In Bali, I locked myself in my room to work. My business finally took off, but I sacrificed friendships, love and joy. When huge opportunity pulled me back to Germany, I took it… and felt emptier than ever. • At 32, my body forced me to stop. Burnout. Health issues. And the realization that I didn’t want a life that cost me my freedom. So I let it all go. Booked a one-way ticket back to Bali. No plan. Just honesty with myself. And now I’m here, starting over again. If exposing myself made just one of you feel less alone, this was worth sharing. Follow for more: @linakathariina @linakathariina @linakathariina

Sometimes life humbles you, resets you, or just straight up throws you back to square one… and honestly? That’s okay. I’m learning that there’s nothing weak about starting over. Sometimes you outgrow things you once prayed for. Sometimes you realize you deserve better. And sometimes the universe just pushes you in a new direction because it’s time. ✨ So here’s to the quiet courage it takes to begin again even when you’re tired, even when you’re unsure, even when you’re scared of repeating the same mistakes. Here’s to choosing yourself, trusting the process, and believing that every restart is really just a redirection. Growth doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s always worth it. 🤍 #itsokay #startover #beginagain #dontbeafraid #yougotthis

Not our best filming. But definitely the best content for what I am hearing on the streets. The theme: Regrets. Oh hell — why didn’t I save more to prepare for … THESE unexpected rainy days. I gotta say … It ain’t too late. Put it away NOW. We met Diedre Ann Johnson @thewellnesshubnyc unexpectedy…and she was so soulful … so honest with us. If you are in debt, concentrate on getting out of debt. Learn to live with less. Focus on maybe … living somewhere easier. And live well. With less. Make the plans. I hear so much talk about this now. Where next?! Where can I afford!? Reimagine! It ain’t too late! See you in Mexico! or Morocco ... or … Where do you want to meet next year? #regrets #startover #womanpower #budget #wellbeing
