Summary

If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to have life “figured out” by now…but somehow you’re still waking up questioning everything purpose, direction, identity this episode is for you. Lately it’s felt like I’m going through a quarter-life crisis every single week, and I’m realizing I’m not the only one. No one actually knows what they’re doing, even if they look like they do. And honestly? There’s something freeing about admitting that. I’m opening up about what it’s been like to outgrow old versions of myself, wrestle with uncertainty, and rethink what “purpose” even means in adulthood. Not in a heavy, dramatic way just in a real, human way. The kind of talk you’d have with a friend on a late night drive. We’re exploring identity shifts, letting go of who we thought we had to be, and giving ourselves permission to evolve even when it feels scary or confusing. If you’ve been feeling lost, in transition, or just not fully at home in your current season, I think this will meet you right where you are.

0:29.8	It feels like I should have this figured out by now. And by this, I mean this thing that we call
0:35.0	life. I recently told my friends it feels like I'm going through a
0:38.2	quarter life crisis every single week and I'm only 23. One moment I know exactly who I am, where I
0:44.3	want to go, what I want to do. And then the next I'm questioning my entire existence. Ask myself,
0:50.7	what is my purpose? What's the point of all of this, and what even matters? Shout out
0:56.2	Lauren Hill. Growing up, it seemed as if all the adults just live with a sense of certainty
1:00.8	and had it all figured out. Subsequently, coming into adulthood, I put pressure on myself to live
1:06.2	to that same standard. So any questions, concerns, or doubts I had weren't just seen as a normal part of the
1:13.3	human experience that became a mark of shame, failure, and disappointment. Because there's no way
1:20.0	I'm doing this adulting thing right and still feeling all of this at the same time. But I've soon
1:26.1	come to realize that no one actually knows what they're
1:29.8	doing, no matter how hard they try to fake it. So I'm starting to rethink this. Maybe life isn't
1:36.5	about reaching this euphoric destination of complete certainty, but a forever discovery of the unexplored
1:43.2	parts of who we are.
1:45.0	I'm learning that the human experience is not monolithic.
