Good morning, everyone. Welcome to your favorite podcast. We are on air, live in studio. We are your

host. My name is Christy and I am Sierra. Welcome back. Welcome to Fingers Cross. We are back for

another Tuesday. We have an

exciting episode in store because if you listen to the last one, this is actually a continuation

of our discussion of the defining decade, a book all about making you feel bad, but also

motivated, but also confused about being in your 20s. That's how I would describe it. It's a whole bunch of feelings that you will experience reading this book. And when we first started recording, we did not intend for it to be a two-part episode. How we thought we were going to fit an entire book into an hour discussion. Like, I don't know.

A book with so many different topics too like not just one

concept so last week's episode if you listened is pretty much the whole first part of the book

focusing on your career your work goals um things like identity capital as well as weak ties

about love and relationships. The book talks about finding your partner. And then the last

part of the book, which is all about how your body changes in your 20s and going into talking

about not only like your brain development, but also fertility. We've got a lot of

critiques for this episode, some good things, but a lot of analysis. So I think it'll be

really interesting, a little bit of tea-sipping, a little bit of chatting. And we have lots of

guest write-ins and some voice memos as well. So it's going to be a great one.

So but- I can't wait for you to hear it. But also I was just thinking about when you were saying

that how one thing we didn't even talk about in when we were discussing it that you'll hear

in like 20 minutes or whatever is just like the way that it was just pretty much the fertility part, like talking about your body,

they didn't talk about men at all. It was literally just kind of like a shaming women for waiting to have

kids. You know what I mean? Not shaming, but you know, she was trying to like open that discussion.
