Why are young people sad and lonely? Probably because we have no rent money or career. How is anyone supposed to be mentally ok if they can't afford to live?
Join Gael and Kayla, two new twenty-somethings, as they navigate the transition from teenagehood to young adulthood. Together, they explore topics you'll undoubtedly struggle with. Whether it's the realization all your friends are in credit card debt, the humbling discovery that your roommate sucks, or trying to life a good life without a college degree. The goal? To make our 20s less shitty because we all deserve the opportunities, life skills, and resources to have a successful career and life.

first-gen guilt, and prioritizing your needs Ft. Leo Gonzalez
this one is for everyone that knows the crushing guilt of going somewhere new or eating at a fancy restaurant and being heartbroken your parents have never experienced it. when classmates were talking about their lawyer or doctor parents, and feeling ashamed to say what your mom or dad did for a living, even if they were the hardest working people you knew. for those who carry the weight of their family with them everywhere they go. we chatted with Biyeni, a first-gen student, as well as Leo Gonzalez to hear about what it’s like growing up as a first generation American.
