Episode notes

Young love is often romanticized, but it's important to avoid wasting time on the wrong people. Instead, focus on enjoying solitude and independence in your 20s. Spending time alone improves self-awareness and strengthens relationships. Dedicate at least one day a month to being in your own company. Learning to be alone now will benefit you later in life, giving you the confidence to walk away from toxic relationships. If a relationship is causing stress or taking too much from you, leave if it's been less than two years.

Love, dating and friendships can feel like a black box in our 20s when we're trying to make the most out of our formative years. None of us have the answers or a guide to some of our biggest questions - how do I actually make new friends, how many friends should I have, should I be settling down this early or exploring my options? In part two of this series we breakdown how to make the most out of our personal relationships during this decade. We discuss why your answer should always be 'yes', why quantity over quality may actually be more correct when it comes to friendships in our 20s and the benefit on getting our heart broken and loving as deeply as possible during this period. We also cover my 7 tips for personal growth to make the most out of this decade, from letting go of our ego to taking time to uncover our childhood wounds, as well as the power of just having a laugh at yourself every now and then. All that and more, listen now!
