Hannah shares how her career trajectory in her 20s prompted her to pause and embark on a journey to discover what she wanted out of life. That led her to type out a spreadsheet of what she desired in a partner. She discusses how in her thirties she found her husband and then grew her family into a family of four. From her life experiences, she says she doesn’t have life figured out but is comfortable with change. Since we met on a tennis court, of course, there are tennis analogies and we talk about how being on the court has impacted our mindset!

Gustavo hoped and dreamed that he would start a family right out of high school. But that ended up not being in the cards for him at that time. We go through his timelines and look into how he spent his 20s and 30s finding himself and building confidence.. All the while, he had fun and kept his heart and mind open to new opportunities. Then, in his 40s, he met his wife, and they had a son. He built a family he had always dreamed of, even though it wasn’t on the timeline he wanted it to happen. Now, as a father of one, he talks about how he’s navigating being a father, husband, and friend. At the end, Gustavo comes prepared with lyrics from his favorite songs, including from the band U2, to impart to his son and his generation.
