The Road to Adulthood

Ah, nostalgia! The late '90s and early 2000s was, in our opinion, the best era for any child to grow up. With low-rise jeans skyrocketing and Avril Lavigne songs in almost every single North American's iPod touch, it comes as no surprise why this episode of The Road to Adulthood is dedicated to nostalgia. Listen along as Carol, Mary and Arshia discuss their childhood, from movies to fashion. The episode will cover our views on this subject during our childhood, teenage-hood, and new-found adulthood. As a disclaimer for all episodes, the views expressed are our own and are not affiliated with any institution or organization to which we belong.  We are not experts, and we base our opinion on our personal experiences. For this episode, we would like to add a trigger warning for anyone who has or is still suffering from issues related to the late '90s and early 2000's. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode of The Road to Adulthood, we are focusing on insecurities and how our perception of these has changed over time. Self-confidence and self-esteem are two of the many values we strive to convey through our podcast, and so we thought it would be interesting to examine what makes us feel less about ourselves, and more importantly, how we can reach a point of self-acceptance.
