Am I Behind??

AVA JULES
About this episode
More and more, this thought creeps into my head. I feel like especially in your 20s, everyone is on such different timelines. Some are post-grad and not sure what’s coming next, others seem like they have it all together, and some are settling down and starting families. It can be easy to compare your journey to someone else’s and begin to ask yourself, “Am I behind?” So today I wanted to talk about my feelings on this and how to best deal with it.
