Everyone’s favorite golf influencer recently turned 30, and Paige Spiranac is not shying away from talking about embracing this new decade. In an Instagram story Q&A session with fans earlier this week, she opened up and reflected on what she learned most from life in her 20s.

“I spent so much time worrying about other people and their opinions about me,” Spiranac admitted. “This could be relationships, friendships, people online, people you work with. It does not matter because they don’t care about you, and that’s O.K. And so why are you exerting so much of your time and energy to get them to like you?”

Today, the one-time SI Swimsuit model chooses to be the best version of her true self in order to attract like-minded people into her life.

“It doesn’t matter, you’re never going to please everyone,” Spiranac said. “And so now that I’m older, I’ve realized that and I do what makes me happy, and I feel like people now are coming into my life who actually like me, the real me, and not this version of me that I’m creating to get someone else to like me.”

After her milestone birthday in late March, the golfer shared the five most important things she’s learned by the age of 30—read more here.
