Are You Having A Quarter-Life Crisis?

CROSSOVER MEDIA GROUP
About this episode

Kelsey Cook and Delanie Fischer are discussing the concept of a quarter-life crisis, and how they’re definitely amidst one (they thought they were passed this sh*t!?). They're sharing how this experience differs to what they went through in their 20s, what feels eerily similar, and the things that actually help them stabilize during times of uncertainty. They also audit some major life categories and reveal which feel great, and which feel off. If you thought you paid your dues in your 20s, but are stumblin’ around your 30s wondering WTF, you’re not alone!
