Am I Having a Quarter Life Crisis? (Purpose)
Purpose, identity, comparison, career pressure, and the quarter-life crisis; why finding direction feels harder than assembling IKEA furniture.
We're diving headfirst into purpose; why it matters, why everyone is confused about it, and why your quarter-life crisis isn't a glitch… It’s a feature.
Welcome back to Trauma Agora, the only podcast where three semi-functional adults unpack life’s existential crises so you don’t spiral alone.
We get into:
• Why your 20s/30s feel like one long identity crisis
• The “money vs meaning” dilemma (and why neither guarantees happiness)
• When goals are actually yours vs implanted by capitalism, Instagram, or your mum
• Designer handbags, 10K months, and the emptiness of chasing milestones
• Red Pill Jake™ making an appearance (we’re so sorry)
• ADHD, neurodivergent burnout, and why “finding your purpose” is a privilege, not a personality
• Children, motherhood pressure, and why saying “I don’t want kids” is still treated like a crime
• The Harvard study on relationships and purpose
• Why purpose isn’t a job title, it’s a way of living
Oh, and a brief disclaimer:
This podcast is not financial advice. Especially if you’re eating beans on toast to buy Dior. Looking at you, Nina.
The big question:
Do we really have one purpose, or are we allowed to have multiple lives, multiple goals, and multiple selves?
Spoiler: you’re not broken. You’re just in your Saturn Return.
Q&A:
Q: What if I don’t know my purpose yet?
A: Congratulations; you’re a normal adult. Purpose evolves with you. There is no final form.
Q: Is purpose about career, money, or success?
A: Sometimes. But purpose can also be friendships, creativity, contribution, rest, or simply being present. Your job title is not your destiny.
Q: Can you have more than one purpose?
A: Yes. You’re not a Marvel character; you’re allowed multiple arcs.
Q: What if everyone else seems ahead of me?
A: They’re not. They’re just posting more.
Q: How do I start figuring out my purpose?
A: Remove expectations, follow your values, and ask: what would I do if money didn’t matter?
