Advice for your 30s

Hi all,

Late 20s posting here. I'm interested to hear from anyone who's over 30 what advice you would give to your younger self on changes that will come as you cross into your 30s, how to handle them, and how to make the most of the decade in general. Open to personal, career, or other topics.

Thanks!
