This chapter explores the idea of feeling behind in life during your 20s, advocating for a shift in mindset towards valuing personal growth and unique experiences over societal norms. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, the speaker encourages listeners to trust their journey even if it strays from traditional expectations. The narrative portrays stories of resilience, self-discovery, and fulfillment in navigating the challenges of early adulthood.
We have a lot of opportunities to feel behind in our 20s, especially when it comes to our careers, our finances and our relationships. In todays episode we break down why so many of us (roughly 80% of 20 something year olds) feeling like we're falling short of expectations, as well as how we can manage these feelings and enjoy our path through life without comparing it to someone others. We discuss:
- The competitiveness of this generation
- The wunderkind phenomena
- Career anxiety and starting over
- Relationship and dating inexperience
- The pandemic skip
- How to feel more sure of your own path and progress
AND, we hear from you, the listeners, about your experiences. Listen now!
