Summary
Thought you'd be married with seven kids and a £350k job at 25? That was incredibly optimistic. But seriously, most of us fall foul of feeling like we're lagging behind in the quest for The Perfect Life, whether that's your job, your relationship (or lack thereof) or the fact that you can't keep a plant alive. Stevie and Tessa work out how to stop worrying about what you're doing when, and how we can all stop being so hard on ourselves.
