Turning 30 is something that a lot of us dread. It’s as if the age that we thought was so “old” when we were young has finally crept up on us and there’s nothing that you can do about it. A lot of us are scared to turn 30 because we loved our 20s so much. In our 20s we had the freedom to figure it out but once you turn 30, you feel like you should be who you’re gonna be for the rest of your life and that couldn’t be further from the truth. 

I couldn’t be more stoked to bring you my conversation with the incomparable, Melissa Vega-Magbitang. 

Melissa is a brand and social media strategist who works with purpose-forward organizations, blending storytelling with brand clarity and confidence. After a decade of combined agency and in-house experience, (and a layoff) she pivoted to solopreneurship and opened up her own consulting services.

Other titles she's proud of include co-founder and co-host of Piloting, a podcast for those who refuse to live on autopilot, dog mom, godmother, CEO of the Magbitang Gang (aka wife), and connector.

If you’re in your 30s or said goodbye to your 30s a long time ago, I hope you are encouraged after listening to this episode. And if you’re nervous about turning 30 I hope this gives you some hope that they’re not that bad. 

In this episode of the Contagious Confidence Podcast, we talk about:

  • Shedding previous versions of ourselves 
  • Feeling stuck
  • Overcoming self-doubt
  • Building confidence in your 30s 
  • The fragility and growth of confidence
  • Living your life on autopilot 
  • Lessons from entrepreneurship 
  • Relationship with rejection and failure
