No matter where you are at in your life - we compare how we are living to the billions of others online - or the thousands of people in our own personal bubbles in life.
It’s natural to think we should be doing something differently. I should’ve gone to grad school, I should be traveling, I should be farther along in my career, I should have moved out already, I moved out too soon, I should slow down, I should be progressing faster. The list goes on.
We dive into these topics and how to get excited about your current age, live your most authentic life, and fully enjoy where you are now.
✨Topics✨
The concept of “should” vs "want"
Feeling like you are running out of time
Embracing aging
Overcoming the white picket fence expectations
Living a life authentic to you
How to find your passions / What fills your soul
