In this episode, I discuss the quiet struggles that come with growing older and the unspoken pressure to have life figured out and to know everything. After years of being under our parents’ guidance and control, learning to take hold of the steering wheel of your own life can feel both liberating and overwhelming. I explore the challenges of navigating the shifting nature of friendships in university and the workplace, and how, as we age, the experiences that shape us into the complex individuals we are also make it harder to find people who truly see and understand the depths of us, as everyone becomes more caught up in their own worlds.
