If you're in your 20s thinking, “What the fck am I actually doing with my life?” this episode is for you
Today I'm sitting down with my friend Gabe Mira, a 24-year-old writer, creator and one of the most Made For More humans I've met along my travel journey
Gabe did everything he thought he was supposed to do: went to university, worked hard, landed his "dream" job he thought he wanted… and then sat at his desk and realized:
Wait. Is this really it?
That realization sent him straight into what he calls his quarter-life crisis , and eventually led him to quit his job, book a one-way ticket, spend three years traveling the world, begin writing The Quarter Life Catalyst, and start building a completely different version of his life
And ironically, traveling is how we met
In this episode, we're having the conversation we both wish more people were having in their 20s
We talk about feeling lost when everyone around you seems to have it figured out, realizing the life you worked toward isn't actually making you happy, redefining success for yourself, figuring out your values and personal mission, outgrowing old identities and environments, dealing with judgment from friends and family, taking risks without knowing whether they'll work, and why your 20s might actually be the BEST time to bet on yourself
We also get into the messy middle that social media rarely shows , when you're building the dream, but there isn't any proof yet that it's going to work
If you've been questioning your career, your direction, your environment, who you're becoming, or whether you're allowed to want something completely different for your life…
I hope this episode reminds you that feeling lost doesn't mean you're failing, it might mean you're starting to figure out what YOU actually want
And maybe you don't need to have your entire life figured out right now
Maybe you just need to do the thing
