Figuring Out What You Want In Life: Rela...

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

Ep 189: It’s the last Friday of the month, so you know what that means - a new WWYBD (what would your bestie do) episode, where we answer listener-submitted questions. Listeners can submit questions any time via our website, and then we pull questions to fit a specific theme. We answer as openly and honestly as possible to give you perspective and guidance from our own experiences. 


If you're struggling with relationship doubts, feeling lost in your career, or just trying to get clear on what you truly want in life, then this episode is for you. We share our thoughts on trusting your gut and recognizing when it’s the right time to commit or reassess. We offer advice on how to bring more consistency to your life, connect with yourself, how to trust your own timeline and how to stay focused on your path.


QUESTIONS ASKED:

  • When talking about relationships, do you believe in “when you know, you know”? 
  • My partner and I have been together for a while but things don’t seem to be progressing. Should I be patient or bring up my concerns?
  • How do I cope with feeling behind in life? I just changed careers. Do you guys have any tips on how to be okay with where I’m at?
  • How do I get clear about what I want in life? I feel like my goals and aspirations change almost on a daily basis and it’s making me feel extremely out of touch with myself. it’s even been starting to affect my relationship.
