I got to sit down with Jennifer Prendergast, LMHC, owner of Placid Soul Counseling, to talk about the messy middle of finding yourself in your 20s and what it really looks like to grow through it.
Jennifer shares her journey from navigating imposter syndrome and early career doubt to building a private practice that actually aligns with her life. We unpack how childhood experiences shape our core beliefs, why attachment styles play out so strongly in relationships, and how to create a more flexible, grace-filled plan for your life.
