You could play it safe, you could stay at that stable job that you don't really enjoy, longing for the weekend and waiting on that paycheck. It's good money, you could stay there, you’re comfortable and in your comfort zone, and it's doable. If you want a stable, cruisy decade without challenges, failures, learnings & adventure, this is not the episode for you. I am here to encourage you to take calculated risks, to launch into the unknown, and to push yourself out of your comfort zone. To challenge yourself. To lean into what scares you most but what's always on your mind. Today we're talking about taking risks in your twenties!!

We go through:

• Why the twenties are the best time to experiment & take those risks!
• How the Millenial & Gen Z generations are changing the Working Climate
• The rise in entrepreneurship & the passion project
• Job hopping & skill stacking
• Solo traveling
• Experiences abroad
• Moving to a new city by yourself

Although the twenties can be a time of excitement, new experiences, opportunities & self-discovery, it's safe to say that many of us also experience a lot of internal stress! A lot of the stress we experience comes from our own pressures & high expectations for ourselves & our futures. We place so much pressure on ourselves to be successful and land that perfect job, to be financially secure and move into that perfect apartment, to be keeping up with our peers, to have that perfect summer body, to have quality friendships and relationships, and pressures to have high performance in every area of our lives. This can cause unnecessary self-induced stress and prevent us from living in the present. In this episode, we’re pushing external stressors and environmental pressures aside because according to psychology, we too are the ones to blame for our stress levels.

In this episode, we dive into the following:

• The twenties and the pressures that we place on ourselves in this decade
• The Psychology of self-imposed stress & being trapped in a toxic cycle
• My own experiences with life stress & realizations about myself
• The familiarity & habit of stress
• The sense of accomplishment associated with stress
• Social validation & perceived productivity
• Fear of failure & inadequacy
• The rise of perfectionism in the Gen Z generation
• The balance between healthy doses of stress & toxic stress
• Chronic stress
• Tips to overcome & manage stress!
• My experiences with journaling

This episode is all about the belief that we have in ourselves, and in our own abilities to achieve our goals and turn our dreams into reality. According to psychology, we not only have to believe that we can achieve our goals but also that we will achieve our goals. That we have the drive, motivation, and commitment to follow through with our goals. This comes down to our self-confidence & self-efficacy!

In this episode, we take a deep dive into:

• Self-efficacy and its recognized importance in creating success
• The difference between self-confidence & self-efficacy
• The qualities of people with high self-efficacy
• My own gaps in my beliefs about myself & my skills
• My personal struggles with self-efficacy
• The importance of celebrating small wins & tracking progress
• Playing to your strengths in life
• Setting goals in line with priorities & values
• How seeing others succeed boosts our self-efficacy
• Seeking positive affirmations

Imagine what you could do, what you could accomplish, and who you would be if you weren’t afraid of how others would perceive you! I think too many dreams and goals have been dismissed due to fear of judgement and social criticism. This episode is not here to tell you to just get over what other people think of you and start expressing yourself because quite frankly... it's not that simple. There are scientific & psychological reasons behind why we fear what other people think of us. This episode is to instead, chat through practical ways that we can overcome this fear and start living a life that's meant for us with confidence!

In this episode, we go through:

• Why we fear judgement from others and social criticisms
• The science and psychology behind needing to belong
• The importance of psychological safety & belonging in our social circles
• My personal experiences with judgement and struggles with expressing myself
• How I have been able to launch a self-development podcast and overcome my fear of judgement
• Your social environment and how this can influence your confidence
• Creating a tribe of similarity!
• Subscribing to the right content on Social Media

There is alot to say about purpose these days and I believe for good reason. However, there are layers to purpose that I would like to unpack in this episode. This episode is not designed to stress you out into thinking that you may need to find your one lifes purpose or you won’t live a happy and fulfilling life, not at all! I instead, talk about purpose in a more realistic and relatable way that doesn't end with you banging your head on the wall questioning whether or not you have purpose in your life. Although it is arguably an important question. 

In this episode we dive into:

• What purpose actually is and how it relates to our lives
• The health benefits of having a purpose
• How different cultures view purpose
• Identifying a purpose
• My conflicting views on purpose and the stress associated with the idea of needing to 'find a purpose'
• How purpose is misrepresented in social media (in my opinion)
• Having a more relaxed view on purpose in life

Decision-making can be an overwhelming and consuming process, particularly in our twenties when we are still figuring out who we are and what we want in life. I have made some questionable life decisions so far and have learned a lot in the process. I have also (more recently) made some really difficult decisions that I am quite proud of and have complete peace with. This episode is made up of lessons I have learned through my decision-making processes and research from those much wiser about how to make effective decisions without feelings of regret.

In this episode, we go through:

• Why making life decisions can be overwhelming in your twenties
• Your 5 core values and how they can guide you in the decision-making process
• Being specific about who you speak to & who you seek advice from
