1 hr 20 min - Finding the Right Relationship & Facing Fertility in your 20s: "The Defining Decade" (Part 2)In a continuation from last week where K & S discuss the first part of "The Defining Decade" by Meg Jay, this week dives into the second half of the book, where things get a liiiittle more heated. This half focuses on relationships, marriage, & fertility in your 20s and beyond, which can be a delicate subject when things such as privilege, gender stereotypes and financial stability come into play. The author shares that the best time to work on your marriage is "before you have one" and encourages twentysomethings to not delay starting a family. The hosts of Fingers Crossed definitely have a lot to say about this part of the book—and their listeners definitely have some critiques to share as well.

- 30 is NOT the new 20: Discussing "The Defining Decade" (Part 1)
For their first "book club" style episode ever, Kristee and Sierra discuss "The Defining Decade" by Meg Jay— a guidance and wisdom book for twentysomethings. The book says that 30 is NOT the new 20 —that your 20's are some of the most important and foundational years of your life! But what does that really mean when you're just trying to figure it all out and have no idea what the future looks like? The hosts of Fingers Crossed weigh in on their thoughts about the book and what changes it inspired them to make in their lives, and what they did NOT like about it. This episode is part one of a two-part series, with this episode focused on the first half of the book, discussing careers, friendships & building your identity capital.

- The "Old me" vs. Who I want to be: Why do we always want to reinvent ourselves?
Do you feel like a different person from who you were 5 years ago? 5 months ago? Even 5 minutes ago? Ever hopped on the midnight train going anywhere? Hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and a cardigan? In our society and pop culture, we're surrounded by romanticized stories of people leaving behind their old lives in search of who they dream to be. So today, Kristee and Sierra seek out the answer to an age-old question: why do we always want to reinvent ourselves? What types of motivations do we have to do this? And how can we work on ourselves in a realistic way that will last without leaving behind everything that makes us who we are?

1 hr 14 min - The Episode You Were *Never* Supposed to Hear: Our 50th Ep. Special!!
Can you believe it's been FIFTY episodes of Fingers Crossed Podcast? We can't either, and that's why we're treating you to a never-before-heard episode that we recorded one year ago. This episode was recorded as our practice run before we even launched the podcast, and it's clear we've come a long way. This episode is full of not just last year's 2020 nostalgia, but also mid 2000s nostalgia as we tell wild and funny stories from our middle school days—including the story of Kristee's middle school nemesis. It's not the episode you were expecting, but it's definitely one you don't want to miss.
