In this episode of How To Twenty-Something I talk about what it means to have a gratitude practice in place and why you should consider adopting one. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I highlight how this holiday encourages us to reflect on the blessings in our lives and how this should become a regular practice in our day to day. Being appreciative means you are in a place of abundance and positivity versus lack and negativity. We need a positive outlook in order to enjoy our life, how far we’ve come, and all that we have to look forward to.

Key Takeaways:

• Gratitude helps you appreciate the simplest of things
• Your thoughts will determine your outlook on your life
• Manifesting, gratitude, and affirmations are just a few ways you can practice gratitude 
• Maintaining a positive mindset in an otherwise negative world

Dating in your twenties is tough, but it doesn’t have to be. In this podcast episode, I explore the intricate world of dating during your twenties, a period characterized by self-discovery and relationship complexities. I address the challenges posed by modern dating, including the influence of dating apps and societal pressures to find the perfect partner. I highlight the significance of distinguishing between personal qualities and values, while encouraging you to set high standards rooted in your values and to avoid settling for less in relationships.

Knowing who you are inside and outside of your relationship will help strengthen your connection with your partner. In this episode I delve into the challenges of maintaining individuality within romantic relationships, particularly during our twenties. It's a time of exploration and growth, and it's easy to lose sight of ourselves in the midst of a partnership. A healthy relationship should enhance our lives, not define them. It is our individuality that is a valuable asset in any partnership, and we'll discuss how to enforce that balance effectively.

Key Takeaways:

• Designate solo time with your friends and yourself, so your partner doesn’t become your only relationship
• Create check ins with yourself as to how you are showing up inside and outside of your relationship
• Your relationship should serve to complement your life not complete it
• Your individuality is what you are bringing to your relationship
• Balance the “me” from the “we” in your relationship to strengthen your bond

Maybe we aren’t all so different after all! In this episode of How To Twenty-Something Jenna Diamond provides the audience with how she transitioned from a full-time athlete to a full-time working adult. As she shares her experience, it becomes clear that we aren’t all that different after all and we all share similar struggles or ‘rites of passage’ as we move from college to the real world. She answers the thought provoking question of “who am I?” that she had to figure out after leaving the one sport that created who she was for the last 18 years.

Key Takeaways:

• Losing structure in your day leaves you with too much time to think, but filling it with thought provoking activities will help with this transition
• Eating healthier, working out, and finding out who you are outside of being an athlete will combat this identity loss
• Learning how to balance this new life where working out 5 hours a day was no longer feasible, leads to finding enjoyment in different types of movement
• What can you find in your life to substitute the time and energy that was previously directed towards your sport?
• How to use your college sport to get your first job after graduation

In this episode of "How To Twenty-Something," I delve into the significance of independence as a young adult and the balance between newfound freedom and occasional loneliness that comes with being in your twenties. I emphasize the importance of taking control of your own life experiences and choosing communities that foster personal growth and authenticity, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone. This episode allows you to question how you are currently showing up in your community versus how you want to be showing up and the growing pains the process includes.

Key Takeaways:

• Finding a sense of self and identity within various communities is crucial
• Choose communities that encourage personal growth, challenge your perspectives, and promote authenticity and inclusion.
• Embrace independence as a means of self-discovery and self-worth during this transformative phase of life.
• Don't be afraid to leave or change communities that no longer serve your personal growth and well-being.
• Surround yourself with individuals who come together, not a group of yes men

In Episode 16 Marissa and I talk about her not so typical route after college. We’re typically presented with two options when we gear up for graduation: continue school or get a full time job, but Marissa wanted to share a third viable option; taking a year of service. Throughout this episode we talk about her year of service, her transition into the adult world, and how you can consider taking a gap year even a few years after you’ve graduated!

Key Takeaways:

• You won’t fall behind if you don’t take the traditional adulting route after college
• Volunteering gives you a perspective in life that you cannot gain from the corporate world
• This type of experience is a safe way to leave your comfort zone
• A year of service will give you identity capital to use in interviews or on podcasts

In Episode 15, I take you through the process of setting goals, why it’s important to do so, how to apply it to your unique life, and what to do after you accomplish them. I explored the concept of goal setting and challenged the traditional approach to it. While acknowledging the effectiveness of SMART goals, I emphasized the importance of creating goals that contribute to building positive habits, enhancing life quality, and maintaining a clear sense of direction. Throughout the episode, I encouraged setting goals in various areas of life, including finances, social interactions, career, fitness, and relationships. I highlighted the idea that goals should not merely be endpoints but ongoing journeys of personal growth and self-improvement.

Key Takeaways:

• Break your goals down into every three months and then further into different categories
• Write down your goals and hang them where you can see them
• Give your goals a measurable account - assign a number you want to work towards
• Goals are a guideline to help you gain clarity and direction in what you want to improve in your life
• Know how you’re going to celebrate accomplishing the goals you’re after
