iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

We have a lot of opportunities to feel behind in our 20s, especially when it comes to our careers, our finances and our relationships. In todays episode we break down why so many of us (roughly 80% of 20 something year olds) feeling like we're falling short of expectations, as well as how we can manage these feelings and enjoy our path through life without comparing it to someone others. We discuss:

  • The competitiveness of this generation
  • The wunderkind phenomena 
  • Career anxiety and starting over 
  • Relationship and dating inexperience 
  • The pandemic skip 
  • How to feel more sure of your own path and progress 

AND, we hear from you, the listeners, about your experiences. Listen now!
