This week we’re talking about the pressure to “have it all” in your 20s, the dream job, the money, the relationship, the house and why success does not come with an expiration date. Hustle culture tells us to grind nonstop, but all it really does is burn us out and make us feel behind.

I share my own struggle with taking breaks, the myth of overnight success, and how comparing ourselves to everyone’s highlight reel creates a fake timeline in our heads. The truth: your 20s are for building, experimenting, and figuring out who you are, not finishing everything by 30.

today we’re diving into the big D—dating, obviously. I’m talking about what dating looks like in 2025, my own experiences with apps, the chaos, the friendzone, the fatigue, and the constant struggle between being open, having fun, and not wasting your precious time.

From dating fatigue to standards, from personality over looks to friendzoning by accident—this episode is all about finding that sweet spot between enjoying the ride and knowing what you deserve.

Let’s get into it.

we’re back for round three. Today I’m talking about something that feels super core to who I am: moving away from home without knowing a single person or even visiting first. I’ve done it three times now and it’s been equal parts terrifying and life-changing.

I get into why I think experiencing new places and new people can be so good for personal growth, even if you end up moving back home later. I also talk about how each move pushed me out of my introverted shell and how living in different parts of the country shaped my values, confidence, and independence.

I wrap up with the big question: should everyone try living somewhere new at least once, or is staying close to home just as valid? Thank you for listening and sticking with my rambles—ily, byeee.
