In this year’s birthday episode, I reflect on turning 25 with my friend Quynh. We share our experiences of the dreaded “quarter-life crisis" and discuss the tension between figuring out what you really want in life versus chasing goals based on the expectations of others.

We also touch on several topics including adulting, anxiety, grad school, friendships, self-care, and therapy!
