All It Takes Is A Goal

ATG 197: The Lie of 'Do It While You're Young': Why Every Decade Can Be Your Best


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving into three big lies that I think are putting way too much pressure on Gen Z and Millennials—“Do it while you’re young,” “Don’t grow up, it’s a trap,” and the idea that you have to choose between joy and responsibility. I used to believe some of these myself, but now that I’m in my 40s, I’ve learned something better. You don’t have to choose between making memories and building a life you love. Join me as I share some personal stories, lessons I’ve learned, and why I think every decade can be the best one yet. Whether you’re 22 or 52 or 82, this one’s for you.
