EP 08: Lost in Purpose - Mid-20s Crisis


Listen Later

The transitional phase that no one really talks about: graduating college to the professional world.  This episode explores many of the emotions, feelings, and experiences one feels leading up to graduating college and then transitioning into the professional world.  This life transition is a huge part of many 20 year old's life experience but can often feel like someone throwing you off the deep end and letting you figure it out. 

My guests, hosts of the podcast Y.E.S. - Yoko, Emily, and Sandy and I, discuss our current life experiences with our mid-20 crisis.  We are all in different parts of our 20s, with some of us still in college, some just about to graduate college, and some currently working in the professional world.  We share the struggles we endured and currently live with, including high family expectations, mental health struggles, and feeling lost in purpose.  We are not here to give you solid solutions for your life problems but rather we are here to create space for you to exist in this mid-20 crisis and to take in all the bad and good that surrounds you.  No one is ever too young or too old to experience a life crisis but it's how you go through that crisis that can change your life.
