                    About In Your Twentys

                    From the publisher's feed

                    Whether you're about to enter your twenties, in the middle of them, or saying hello to your dirty thirties - this podcast is for you. Each week, Tina w/ an H and a special guest will help you navigate your twenty-somethings with lessons they didn't teach you in school. Through chats about life, career, dating, and more we'll be figuring out the who's, what's, where's, why's, and how's of (...you guessed it) your twentys.
