Summary

Now that I'm in my mid to late 20s, I have been stressing a little bit about my "timeline." What my next moves are—if I'm going to have kids, if I'm going to get married, if I'm going to buy a house—the list goes on. The best way that I cope with these stressors is by talking through them with all of you. Today I'm throwing it back to a TNTC community favorite! Last year, I did an episode about navigating your 20s, and so many of you told me that you found it helpful. In today's episode, I talk about what it's really like to be in your 20s and how to navigate the not-so-perfect parts of it.

0:00.0	Hey Britain! On a day like today, you already know the absolutely perfect thing to eat.
0:06.1	It comes in a bowl, you eat it with a spoon, it's absolutely delicious and it'll warm you right
0:11.5	through. Of course it's soup, it has to be soup and of course it has to be hines, which leaves
0:18.5	you with just one decision. Will it be a tried and trusted favourite or will one of the new hines
0:23.6	soup flavours tantalise your taste buds? Like French onion with a couple of chunks of warm,
0:28.8	crusty bread topped with a little melted butter. You already know you're going to love it.
0:34.2	For warming comfort on a cold day, it has to be hines.
0:44.7	Hello, welcome to or welcome back to Try Not To Care. Today I want to take it back to an episode. A
1:02.0	lot of you enjoyed, which was navigating your 20s. I did it sometime last year. I want to talk
1:09.6	about the reality of being in your 20s. For any of you that don't know, I'm 26 and now that I'm
1:15.6	in the middle to end of my 20s, a lot is changing around me, which can be a little stressful and
1:23.4	confusing and just a lot. I have some friends who are really far in their careers already who
1:29.6	know exactly what they're doing for the rest of their lives. I have friends who are getting engaged,
1:35.2	I have friends who are ready to have children. There's people I went to high school with who have
1:40.4	children, who are married, who have moved so far away. It's really easy to compare yourself and
1:48.0	your life to others and feel like you're behind or you're not doing enough. What I do for work
1:53.6	is very unconventional. I'm very lucky. I'm so grateful, but it is a risk and there isn't a super
2:03.2	clear path forward with social media. I find myself doubting myself sometimes and getting in my head
2:10.2	because I'm comparing where I'm at to where others are. Then of course, I have other people in my
2:16.7	ear asking me what my plans are, what I think I'll be doing in the next few years. Will I continue
2:23.2	doing social media? Will I get a real job? Not even just career wise, but I have people asking
2:30.9	if I'm thinking about buying a house and getting married and having kids. With all these questions
