Episode notes

Our 20s are a paradox of choice, where we are given endless options but struggle with decision-making. This abundance can actually paralyze us and lead to anxiety. We shouldn't compare ourselves to unrealistic expectations of this decade. Instead, we should embrace change and allow ourselves to make mistakes. Our vision of the future will evolve, and where we end up may surprise us. No decision or experience is a waste.

How do we actually make the most of our 20s? Career anxiety, feeling stuck, taking risks and managing our money (do we spend or save) are all big concerns we have in this period. So how do we manage these dilemmas and choices to create our dream life in our 20s, and what does that dream life even look like? In part one of our mini series, we examine the major decisions we make during this decade around our future and how we can approach them to get the best outcome. We discuss the importance of taking risks, moving to a new city, quitting your terrible job and trying as many things as possible. We also talk money, dymystifying some of the stigma around how people in their 20s are actually spending their money and why you should be spending on experiences rather than temporary things. Listen now! Part two out Friday!
