30 Before 30

This is my gentle list of things I want to explore, finish, or move toward before turning 30 – not a strict checklist, just a way to shape this season with a bit more intention.

Here you’ll find my goals, progress, and links to posts where I write about the journey. Some things will change along the way, and that’s part of it.
