Welcome back to advice session. A series here on Anything Goes where you send in your current

dilemmas or anything. And I mean literally anything you want advice on. And then I give you

my unprofessional advice. And today's topic is existential crises. Yeah. Fun. It's a fun one, right? Existential crises. I hate the plural word for crisis.

Crises. I hate it. Like I want to call Miriam Webster and say, can we please figure out something else?

I don't know, I don't know what to change it to. Like I don't have an idea. I don't have a

suggestion. But I hate crises. It doesn't roll off the

tongue for me. But that is ultimately our topic today. And if you don't know what an existential

crisis is, let me tell you. An existential crisis is a period of profound questioning about

life's meaning, purpose, and one's own identity, often triggered by major life transitions or losses.

It's characterized by inner conflict, anxiety, and a feeling of meaninglessness, leading to

distress and despair. These crises, while difficult, can be opportunities for growth,

pushing individuals to reevaluate their values and find greater personal meaning. That is what an existential crisis is.

And I've experienced many in my life. And I imagine I'll experience many more. It's an inevitable

human experience. We're going to experience existential crises throughout our life about various

different things. And I think the definition put it

beautifully. It's uncomfortable. It's challenging. But it is an opportunity for growth. And so without

further ado, let's begin. I briefly interrupt this episode to let you know that this episode is

presented by the Ordinary.

Self-care is important, but it can be super expensive, right?

Especially when you're talking skincare products.

Thankfully, The Ordinary is focused on quality skincare that's priced to make great

skincare accessible to everyone.
