Ask Lily: Feeling Behind In Life, Pacing...

Lily Rakow
About this episode

The Ask Lily Advice Column is back, baby! Lily kicks off this episode by sharing a few updates, including a little glimpse into the writing project she's hinted at, as well as her plan to take on an intern this fall! Then, she takes some questions from a few 80/20 listeners. The first listener has trouble living in the present moment in her relationship, worrying about what's next for them. The second listener is struggling with her body image, as her dance career has forced her to compare her body to her teammates. The third listener feels behind in her career, and wonders if she made the right choice to follow her heart away from the typical corporate ladder.
