In this episode, Em discusses the pressure and anxiety that can arise when approaching milestones and cutoffs, particularly in relation to age. She also touches on how she's feeling approaching thirty and how anxiety and pressure can arise as we reach milestones and a new decade.
Em explores the societal programming around specific ages and the expectations that come with them. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and reflection, as well as staying true to one's own timeline and values. She encourages listeners to release attachment to timelines and focus on the process rather than fixating on the outcome.
Em also suggests writing a letter from a future version of oneself as a powerful exercise to gain clarity and perspective. Ultimately, she reminds listeners to embrace their own journey and trust the timing of their lives.
