As 2025 begins, I’m approaching a significant milestone—turning 39 later this year. With my 30s nearing their end, I’ve decided to leave behind the pressure of traditional New Year’s resolutions and instead focus on something much more meaningful: rediscovering myself.
Rather than chasing perfection or unattainable goals, I’m dedicating this year to truly living life on my own terms and embracing the person I’ve become.
After years of pouring my energy into being a mum,I am finally carving out space to reconnect with who I am outside of that role. Don’t get me wrong, being a mum to my three girls has been my biggest achievement and I love them more than anything in the world, but I’ve come to realise that being Kira is just as important. This year is about showing up for me and living life the way I want to live it.
One of my biggest goals this year is passing my driving test. For years, I’ve relied on public transport or my partner to get to places. The freedom of being able to hop in my car,yes I have a car sitting in my driveway ready to go!, and drive myself to an event or take a spontaneous weekend trip is SO exciting. I can already imagine packing up the car and heading to the beach, no longer bound by anyone else’s availability.
I’ve also taken a leap by signing up for a crochet class that meets once a fortnight. It’s something I’ve wanted to try for a long time, but fear of doing things alone has held me back in the past. This year, I’m challenging that fear and embracing the idea of stepping out on my own.
Another exciting new challenge I’m considering is trying pole fitness. It’s something I’ve admired for years but never had the courage to pursue. Beyond the physical strength it builds, I see it as a way to connect with my body in a new, empowering way.
Recently, I wrote about the importance of embracing your own company, and that sentiment is guiding me this year. Instead of focusing on who will or won’t show up, I’m learning to focus on how I show up for myself. It’s a mindset shift that once you get around it, there is no stopping you!.
Another area I’m excited to explore this year is my fashion style. Over the years, my wardrobe has become more about practicality than personality. Now, I’m ready to rediscover what makes me feel confident, expressive, and truly me. From experimenting with colours and textures to finding signature pieces that reflect my personality, I’m looking forward to embracing style as a form of self-expression. Vinted here I come! :)
This year, I’m not aiming for perfection. I’m aiming for joy, connection, and authenticity. Whether it’s driving myself to a new destination, creating something beautiful with crochet, dancing my way into newfound confidence, or completing a wardrobe that feels like me, I’m ready to fully embrace life.
We’re only here once. It’s time to make it count.
