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.

friends don't let friends overdose (substance use, fentanyl, & using nalaxone)
now that everyone is about to go party for new year's, we thought it'd be a good time to talk about our experience with substance use and highlight the importance of TESTING YOUR DRUGS! we discuss how the rise of fentanyl has changed the landscape of drug use and the essential measures needed to prevent overdoses and talk to health experts and community leaders about practical steps and resources available for intervention and support. so remember, COOL KIDS CARRY NARCAN!
