Stop Feeling Bad for Being Young - The Pressure to Be Perfect in Your 20s
As I step into a new chapter of my life, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much pressure I put on myself throughout my 20s to have everything figured out. In this episode, I’m talking about the anxiety that comes with feeling behind...whether it’s your career, money, relationships, or just not knowing what you’re doing with your life. I’m sharing some of the things I wish I understood earlier, like why changing your mind isn’t failure, why experiences aren’t a waste of time or money, and why you don’t need a 10-year plan at 22.
If you’ve been feeling behind or like you should have everything figured out by now, I hope this episode reminds you to stop feeling guilty for being exactly where you are.
