It seems in our early 20s we all start life at the same starting line. We graduate from university and enter the work world as young professionals eager to prove that we have what it takes to succeed. By the time our early 30s\u00a0roll around\u00a0(and for some in their late 20s) we all start to suffer various setbacks in life. Some people experience more transformational setbacks such as the death of a spouse or a child or even a life altering divorce. Others of us seem to be spared the more traumatic experiences and suffer the typical career or other everyday type setbacks.<\/p>\n
For those of us that suffer life altering\u00a0experiences that cause mandatory transitional change – it can sometimes feel that this causes a setback. We are beholden to these milestones that society imposes on us – like marriage,\u00a0having children, moving up the career ladder,\u00a0buying a\u00a0first home, car etc.<\/p>\n
