Hi Ms. Mediator, I qualify on all counts (I'm not really a mom, Snackers was an art project).
As far as lived experiences, I have done a lot of things that many people my age (40) have never experienced. On the flipside, there's a lot of things I haven't experienced that most people my age would consider a common part of life. I'm not sure how much growth came from the experiences I sought out, but I'm thankful for them nonetheless.
The most growth probably came from the things that I never would have chosen to go through, like the illness of loved ones or facing the possibility of losing my business during Covid. Or the random things God led me to do that I never would have done without His prompting (He knows just what we need, thank goodness He never bases it off of what we think we want!)
In addition to that, a lot of growth has come from the random little life situations that bring to light what I need to work on or turn over to Jesus. If you don't feel you are experiencing that, you could ask The Holy Spirit to guide you to what He wants you to do (then hold on to your hat, it might be a wild ride!)
God knows what growth you need a lot better than this "friend" does.... it doesn't sound to me like they are using the same measuring guide.

Would bring me happiness
Some dreams that are
Realities today
Such an irony...
The things that mean
The most to me
Are the memories that I've made
Along the way
