450. The psychology of the quarter life reinvention

In this episode, we explore the psychology of the quarter life reinvention: the period that can come after the confusion, uncertainty and identity crisis of our early and mid-20s, when things finally begin to fall into place. We look at how the quarter life crisis can transform us, the stages we move through, and why sometimes everything has to fall apart before we can rebuild a life that feels more like our own.

We explore:

• The difference between a quarter life crisis and a quarter life reinvention

• The ‘locked in’ and ‘locked out’ forms of the quarter life crisis

• The four stages of the crisis

• The signs that you’re entering your reinvention era

• How experimentation, risk taking and new experiences help us rebuild

• The role of narrative psychology and rewriting the story you tell about your life

• Why learning to tolerate uncertainty may be the key to finally moving forward
