Have you ever thought “I’m stuck. What’s wrong with me? Is this all there is? Today’s guest, Satya Doyle Byock, hears these refrains regularly in her psychotherapy practice where she works with “Quarterlifers,” individuals between the ages of (roughly) sixteen to thirty-six. She understands their frustration. Some clients have done everything “right”: graduate, get a job, meet a partner. Yet, they are unfulfilled and unclear on what to do next. While society is quick to label the emotions and behavior of this age group as generational traits, Satya sees things differently. She believes these struggles are part of the developmental journey of Quarterlife, a distinct stage that every person goes through which has been virtually ignored by popular culture and psychology. We’ll discuss her new approach to a quarterlife crisis, why it matters, and engage with Satya’s four pillars of Quarterlife development.
