What happens when you do everything "right"… and life still doesn't work out?

In this episode of As Told By Us, we sit down with Kate (29) and Tawanda (32) for an honest conversation about starting over in your late 20s and 30s. From quitting medical school to giving up an apartment and moving back home, this episode dives into the reality of adulthood in Zimbabwe — and what it means to redefine success when the plan you followed doesn't deliver the life you expected.

We talk about:

Moving back home as an adult

Switching careers in your 20s and 30s

The pressure to have it "figured out" by 30

Grieving the life you thought you'd have

Zimbabwe's job market realities

African parent expectations

Fear of disappointing your family

Redefining success on your own terms

If you're a millennial or Gen Z navigating career changes, relationship timelines, financial pressure, or the fear of starting over — this conversation is for you. Because sometimes adulthood isn't about sticking to the plan.

It's about having the courage to rewrite it.
