Solo Ep 4 - Are You Really Falling Behind in Your 20s?


Listen Later

In your 20s, it feels like everyone else is miles ahead - getting married, buying houses, landing dream jobs - while you’re still piecing things together.

This episode breaks down the pressure to “have it all figured out,” why that expectation is flawed, and how to reframe your 20s as a time for growth, mistakes, and progress over perfection.

I share personal stories (like moving back in with my parents after Bali), unpack the trap of social media comparison, and offer simple reframes to stop feeling “behind.”

Community Question: “How can I stop comparing myself to my friends?”
