In this episode of How to Twenty-Something, I’m diving into the power of non-negotiables—those personal standards that shape your decisions, relationships, career, and daily life. I break down how to identify your non-negotiables, why they matter, and how they evolve over time. Whether it’s dating, friendships, or your job, having clear boundaries keeps you aligned with what truly serves you. Your non-negotiables are a set of standards that protect you and help you grow into a fully functioning adult while living a life in balance for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Your non-negotiables will change with time and experiences - have regular check ins
• Understanding the difference between preferences and non-negotiables helps prevent unnecessary rigidity while still maintaining your core values
• If your non-negotiables reflect your self-worth and priorities, don’t let outside judgment make you question them
• Sticking to your non-negotiables communicates self-respect and ensures you attract what aligns with your needs
• Knowing your non-negotiables across all areas of your life helps you make decisions
