You feel lost, overwhelmed and you are basically going through a quarter life crisis. Well here is where Kate Berski enters the picture.

Kate is an exit-entrepreneur and author of the book 30-phobia. She specialises in helping people in their 20s going through a quarter life crisis to come out on the other side building a life that best suits them.

👉 Why your 20s are not the best years of your life,

👉 Why Gen Z’s are a generation in crisis

👉 The biggest things that people struggle with in their 20s

👉 Why your 30s are the new 20s

👉 Finding your partner

👉 The most common mistakes people in their 20s make in setting goals

👉 Why regret is scarier than failure

👉 As well as tips on how to build your best life

Kate has surveyed over 2,500 thousand women and interviewed over 40 experts and researchers in the mental health field when formulating this book so there is plenty of golden nuggets and value that she provides.

So many people have dreams they want to chase or goals they want to reach yet they don’t take action because they don’t believe in themselves

Everyone struggles with self doubt but not everyone handles it the same. We see successful people and go like “they just work hard, they had it lucky, I can never do what they do” but everyone faces adversity, self-doubt and struggle - they just had better strategies to combat this

In today’s episode, I am going to debunk

👉 How to overcome self-doubt
👉 Why you experience self-doubt
👉 How powerful it is to program your subconscious mind
👉 The importance of being aware of what you absorb in the media
👉 The power of self-confidence in eliminating self doubt

What if I told you in 2007, a new addictive drug took the world by storm. In less than 15 years, over 50% of the population was using this drug daily causing a rise of depression, anxiety and suicide in all age ranges..

If this was happening, would there not be more of an outrage to try and fix this?

Well the drug I am referring to is our smartphones …

We are all addicted to our phones (me included). Do not get me wrong, there are so many benefits with what smartphones can provide and they make life a whole lot easier. But they can also make our life a lot harder if we let it…

In today’s episode, I am going to debunk

• How to build a healthier relationship with your phone

• The 5 key steps that I use to help take control over my phone and not let my phone control me

• The role that dopamine plays and the danger of short term gratification

• How the world’s best engineers and psychologists have manufactured these social media apps to keep you hooked

If you are someone who is trying to build a healthier relationship with your phone and want to limit your screen time, then this episode is for you.

We always say "don't judge a book by its cover" but that is exactly what we do. Whenever we meet someone new for the first time, we innately categorise them in our brains before they even get the chance to open up their mouth.

Is this a bad trait or is this something that everyone does?

In today's episode, we discuss if first impressions TRULY matter, how to make a better first impression, the one small change we can all make to guarantee a connection can be made, and the importance of non-verbal communication.

The first guest on the Life's Teachers Podcast for 2025 is Elijah Soto who resides in Southern California, USA. I know I probably say this after every episode but this episode is genuinely up there with one of the most impactful episodes I have filmed.

Elijah completed a Biology degree in college and was working in the job force where he begged the question "is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life? "We talk about what lead him to quit his well paying full time job to follow his own path, the impact of losing a loved one, the importance of having an open mind, finding your reason for being on this earth and the importance of living your life as your authentic self.

If you are someone struggling to find their place in the world and are afraid to chase your dreams, doubting your abilities then Elijah's story is definitely one that you want to listen too.

Elijah has recently started his own podcast called the “Cause to Become Podcast” which you can check out in the link below:

I truly believe that it is extremely hard after high school to develop strong friendships with new people, let alone maintain the current friendships you have. During your adolescent years, you are used to seeing the same people 5 days in a row at school from 13-18 years old. 

When you graduate high school, you often take for granted how much time you actually got to spend with your friends and the fun you had during lunch and recess at school.

After high school, everyone grows at different rates, sets off on their own trajectories and goes down different paths. One friend is married, the other is traveling around the world, one is working full time, one has a kid - you know what I mean!

This is all completely normal. However, one question I think people in their early 20s should ask themselves are "are my friends great friends?". In this episode, we learn about how friendships can make you live longer, what truly constitutes a good friend, how to cultivate deeper relationships, how to increase your “frientimacy” and how to make new friends. 

If you are someone who is experiencing loneliness or is craving to connect with likeminded people, then this episode is for you.

Disclaimer - if you are struggling severely with loneliness or struggling with your mental health, then please be sure to speak to qualified health professional

FOMO is something that we all experience. You are scrolling on social media, looking at your friends Instagram stories and you see that it seems like everybody but you is at this one party or everybody but you is on a holiday.

Give me a break - are you serious?

How can I be the only one missing out?

FOMO ties deeply into our human fear of being socially excluded. On this episode, I debunk what is FOMO, why you experience it as well as provide you with 2 key strategies to help overcome it.
