About this episode
Anissa Rosales discusses the challenges of life not aligning with expectations and the importance of redefining success on personal terms.
POV: You did the planning, set the goals… and your life still looks different than you expected. Same. In this episode, I’m talking about what it actually feels like to outgrow your own timeline, and how I’m learning to stop measuring my life by milestones that don’t reflect who I am anymore. We’re unpacking the pressure, the comparison, and the quiet wins that don’t make it to social media, but do change your life. Expect: ✨ Why “feeling behind” might be a mindset shift ✨ Redefining success on your own terms ✨ Reminders you didn’t know you needed Send this to someone who’s figuring it out with you, and if you’re loving the pod, leaving a review is the best way to support 💌 Relevant links: Black Latine History Is Missing from Schools.
