About this episode

Today we have on the most special guest of all: the listeners! I asked you all to send in your biggest 20-something dilemmas, the things that are leaving your confused, keeping you up and night, have you overthinking everything, and you delivered. Today we hear from seven of our listeners, and answer questions like: 

  • Should I travel or save for a house?
  • How do I know what to do with my life when there are so many options? 
  • How do I express myself in my relationship? 
  • What happens when I'm creatively burnt out? 
  • How to make new friends as an adult, and so much more! 

Thank you to our beautiful listeners who contributed their dilemmas! Listen now!
