Turning 25 made me realize something a lot of people in their 20s struggle with — the feeling of being behind in life.

In this episode of Poised in Progress, I talk about how social media, comparison, and outside noise can make us feel rushed, even when we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be. I share my personal experience taking a break from Instagram, rediscovering peace, and learning how to slow down and truly enjoy life at the age I’m in.

If you’ve ever felt like everyone else is getting engaged, buying homes, traveling, or hitting milestones while you’re still figuring things out, this episode is for you.

We’ll talk about:

• Why social media can make you feel behind

• The importance of understanding your season in life

• How removing noise can bring peace and clarity

• Why boredom can actually change your life

• Simple ways to start enjoying your 20s more

Your 20s are not a race. They’re a time to grow, explore, and build the life that’s meant for you.
