In this deeply personal episode of The Hidden Pages Podcast, I open up about starting over in my 30s and rediscovering my long-lost passion—art. After years of therapy and shedding layers of expectations, I finally reached a place where I could explore who I am beyond the roles I’ve been expected to fill.

Through my journey, I’ve realized that it's never too late to pursue what truly lights you up. Inspired by The Artist's Wayby Julia Cameron, I’m embracing creativity, overcoming self-doubt, and taking steps toward a life that aligns with my true self.

If you're in your 30s (or beyond) and feel like you've missed your chance to follow your passion, this episode is for you. Whether you're longing for a fresh start or just need encouragement to reconnect with what you love, know that it’s never too late to begin again.
