About this episode

Remember your 20s? That time of endless possibilities... and endless uncertainty? Maybe you're in them right now, trying to figure it all out. Or maybe, like me, you look back and think about all the things you wish you'd known sooner.

 

Join me this week as I share nine powerful insights that would have transformed my experience of my 20s. From understanding that our thoughts create our feelings to recognizing that discomfort signals growth, these lessons apply whether you're 22 or 52.
