Summary

Episode 200: It is no secret that being in your 20s is a wild ride, with so much unknown and no clear roadmap of what’s to come next. After a long-awaited trip back to Honduras to visit family, Nat’s feeling sentimental about this decade thus far and reflecting on all she’s learned in her 26 years. On this episode, it’s just Nat and the microphone, as she shares everything she wishes she would’ve known before entering this phase of her life including all the things nobody tells you but you inevitably come to learn with age. From friendships to careers to comparisons to mindset shifts and everything in between, there’s a lot of ground to cover, and Nat’s getting deep. Whether you’re just entering your 20s, in the midst of these amazing years, or have already experienced the ups and downs of this life stage, there’s comfort in knowing you’re not alone on the journey.

0:42.3

gentlemen I was talking to my sister this week and she was telling me that my breakup podcast episode which was by far my most listened to episode which I had posted last September. She was telling me that all of her

0:55.2

friends listened to it and they were asking her questions about it and she was like I'm

0:59.4

not going to lie I've never listened to a single one of your podcast episodes and I was like oh thank you I mean I don't ever

1:05.9

imagine people in my real life listening to my podcast because I feel like it's a diary and she

1:12.0

2:00.0
