Feeling that constant fear of missing out? You’re not alone. This week we’re unpacking FOMO in your twenties – This week, we’re spilling tea on BFF drama, a near kidnapping, and why no one has life figured out in their twenties.

July 08, 2025 #11 How To Quickly Get Out Your Comfort Zone (It’s Killing You)
What if playing it safe is actually what’s holding you back?
In this episode, we dive deep into the idea of comfort how it feels safe, familiar, even “good” but can quietly kill your potential.

We unpack why letting go isn’t always about leaving something bad, sometimes, it means walking away from good to make space for great.

🧠 We explore:
– Why comfort can be dangerous
– How personal growth hides just outside your comfort zone
– Why “good” might be the enemy of “great”
📍Whether it’s a job, relationship, routine, or version of yourself — ask:
Is this comfort… or a cage?

This is your sign to stop settling. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to shake things up, this is it. Because staying comfortable might be the real risk.

July 01, 2025#10 Playing Guess Who… But It’s Just Our Exes (Q&A + Chaos)
In this week’s episode, we answered your questions and things got deep, slightly unhinged and maybe too much oversharing.

We played a round of Who’s Your Lover, asked ourselves what advice we’d give our younger selves (without completely traumatising them).
We also covered:
Feeling behind in life and why you’re probably not
The weird little habits that keep us sane
The hills we’d die on (yes, we’re petty)
Why toxic men might just need each other 👀
That time one of us may or may not have been the other woman… while she was pregnant?!
And why the messy moments in your 20s matter just as much as the milestones
It’s giving therapy, chaos, and big-sister energy.
You’re not alone in the mess, we’re right there with you. 💌

June 17, 2025 #8 What to Do When You Feel Behind in Your 20s
Feeling left behind in your 20s? Yeah, us too. Maybe you did everything “right” went to uni, got the degree and still ended up in a job that barely covers rent. Or maybe you skipped the traditional route, started your own thing, and now feel like a failure every time a friend posts their new house or fancy job title. Or maybe you’re just… floating. No big dream, no clear plan, just a growing pit in your stomach that whispers, “You should be further along by now.”
Let’s get one thing straight: You are not behind. This feeling? It’s common. It’s normal. It’s valid. And it's not your fault.
Each week, we’re tackling one hard truth about your 20s - together. This week? We're learning how to survive feeling left behind.
We’ll be discussing the common pressures we face in our 20s, and how society makes that overwhelming pressure even harder. We’ll also dive into how to get out of this rut and start feeling better, with an action plan not just for success, but for your happiness too.
