The Pressure to Have It All Figured Out
What does it actually mean to have your life together?
In this episode of Talking with Ken, we’re talking about ๑゚ the pressure so many young people feel to have everything figured out — your career, money, friendships, relationships, independence, and your future — before you’ve even had the chance to figure out who you are. ᵕ̈.˚
We get into why your 20s are constantly portrayed as the “best years” of your life, when in reality, they can be some of the most confusing, uncomfortable, and transformative years you’ll ever experience. We talk about feeling behind, watching friendships change, outgrowing people, becoming more independent, and comparing your life to everyone around you. ‧₊˚
We also take a look at how social media and celebrity culture have changed the way we experience growing up. Why do so many young people seem older than they actually are? And what happens when children are exposed to adult experiences, beauty standards, relationships, fame, and expectations much earlier than previous generations? ˚.⋆⁺₊.
This episode is a conversation about growing up before you feel ready, realizing that there is no universal timeline for life, and learning that you don’t have to have everything figured out just because everyone else seems like they do.
Because maybe your 20s aren’t supposed to be the years when you have it all together.
Maybe they’re the years when you’re supposed to figure out who you are. 𓈒ㅤׂㅤ⭒
