how to twenty-something

Ep. 120 What no one told you about being an adult


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving into all the things no one really tells you about being an adult. I share the story of my very first “oh crap, I’m an adult” moment and how that experience set the tone for learning that adulthood is full of unexpected challenges. From jobs that don’t feel like your calling, to the struggle of making and keeping friends, to the identity shifts that make you feel out of place, I cover the hidden parts of your twenties that no one prepares you for. Adulthood comes with a lot of responsibility, but also the power to create the life you want for yourself, and this episode breaks down all the secrets and steps that no one tells you about. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Your first full-time job is more about learning how to work than finding your life’s calling
  • Adulthood is full of unexpected crises, and part of the job is learning what you can and can’t control
  • Job loss, quitting, or career pivots are common in your twenties
  • Making and keeping friends as an adult takes far more effort than it did in school or college
  • Feeling out of place and questioning your path is normal
  • You’re responsible for your life and future
