Sanne Vloet’s Lessons Since Turning 30

While making an iced matcha with Dona masala chai concentrate, Sanne Vloet shares ten lessons she has learned since turning 30. She says life doesn’t need to be figured out all at once: career focus, healing, and family can each take priority in different seasons. After personal challenges, including miscarriages, she learned to slow down and make room for herself.

Ten Takeaways

1. Accept life’s seasons. You can’t grow in every area at once. Focus on what matters in your current phase.

2. Save and invest early. Even small, consistent contributions can add up over time.

3. Choose your company carefully. The people around you influence your habits and outlook. Seek supportive people who encourage your goals.

4. Don’t treat every problem as urgent. Before letting something take over your attention, ask whether it will matter in six weeks.

5. Shape your home to support your habits. Keep your space calm and uncluttered, avoid bringing home tempting snacks, and prepare things like workout clothes the night before.

6. Exercise for strength and longevity, not just appearance. Prioritize your energy, health, and what your body can do.

7. Make sleep a priority. Good sleep is foundational to mood, motivation, strength, and creativity.

8. Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Start the business, take the trip, or have the conversation, then learn as you go. Vloet says waiting delayed the launch of her Soul Sync Body program.

9. Bet on yourself and invest in your growth. Take opportunities before you feel completely ready. You can build skills through practice and the resources available to you.

10. Define success for yourself. Don’t compare your life with other people’s carefully selected social-media highlights. Decide what success means to you and make a plan around it.

Matcha and What’s Next

Vloet also introduces updated Nekohama matcha packaging, which includes a storage pouch and a silver spoon. She closes by saying she’s returning to her routines and working on new strength programs.
