Feeling behind in relationships can stem from inexperience, making one feel like a significant aspect of life is missing and leading to a sense of inadequacy. However, it's essential to remember that the right experience will eventually happen, surpassing all expectations. Not having been in a relationship does not indicate something is wrong; it may simply mean not meeting the right person yet. Being selective and picky in relationships is commendable, ensuring a better match in the end. So, trust that the experience, when it does occur, will be worth the wait and even surpass all anticipations.
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 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!
