5 Life Lessons I'd Teach My Younger Self

Alex Hourigan and Sally McMullen

About this episode

The things we wasted our money on in our early 20s, “dream careers” to stop chasing & reminders to enjoy the life you’re living NOW. Inspired by the “I met my younger self for coffee” trend you’ve seen all over social media, we share the life lessons we’d tell our younger selves.
