Meg Reynolds, welcome back to seeing other people. Hi, I'm so glad we finally got to do this in

person. In person. And this is one of those episodes, you guys, where we're both going in blind.

We're like, we do not need an outline and we could talk for 10 hours. I mean, we pretty much, last time on my

podcast, I think we talked for like an hour and a half yeah and then on

yours same thing and we were just like going rambling we were like this is good yeah there's there's

never ending list of things so just a refresher you guys meg is the host of not the girl next

door yes phenomenal podcast where she gets so vulnerable about what's happened in her life, her dating

life, career, friendships, pretty much everything that we experience while going through our 20s.

Yeah.

You just turned 27.

I did just turn 27 a couple months ago.

How is that felt?

Well, that's kind of what is bringing me to New York.

I've been having, like having like i actually tonight's podcast

the day that tonight isn't the day that we're recording this and next weeks will be uh the 27 year itch

i'm calling it part one and two and basically ever since i turned 27 i've just been feeling

unsettled again and like in in identity crisis. But my therapist was like, you're not in crisis. You're in questioning. Okay. It's not crisis. It's questioning. It's quite. It's crisis. It's not crisis. It's questioning. I love that. And because the last, because we spoke what? Was it last year? Was it two? It was last year. It was last year. So I think when we spoke, I was like a year into freelancing. And, you know, I was kind of really embracing the not knowing part of what I was doing and just kind of really leaning into that. And now it's gotten to the point where I'm almost like I'm not grieving the life that I thought I was going to have because I don't I know I don't want those things like I'm glad I didn't settle down and like stay in New York and all those things it's more so I'm grieving the certainty that that path brought me and it's like I'm looking to bring a little bit back of that certainty back into my life and kind of like you know a new five-year plan because when I got laid off I didn't

form a new one life and kind of like, you know,

a new five-year plan because when I got laid off, I didn't form a new one. I just kind of

is like, this is what we're doing right now and we're going to live life and we're going to enjoy it and we're going to embrace it. And that's great. I'm a type A person. Very hard for me to do that but now it's like okay well what do I want right and like as I'm watching friends get engaged

friends break up friends move like I have a lot of friends down in Nashville who are also kind of like, you know, I don't know if I want to stay in Nashville forever anymore. Maybe I'll go to L.A. Maybe I'll go here. Like Nashville is such a, I feel like New York is transient in the sense, though, that people move here and kind of stay. Nashville's like temporary. Yeah, Nashville is very, very temporary. I didn't

think I was going to be one of those people, but... York is transient in the sense, though, that people move here and kind of stay. Nashville's like temporary.
