Perfect if you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting empowerment and feeling pressured by society’s “rules” for women.   🎧 Tune in for laughter, vulnerability, and deep insights into what it means to navigate love, feminism, and identity in today’s world.

What if playing it safe is actually what’s holding you back? In this episode, we dive deep into the idea of comfort how it feels safe, familiar, even “good” but can quietly kill your potential.    We unpack why letting go isn’t always about leaving something bad, sometimes, it means walking away from good to make space for great.   🧠 We explore:– Why comfort can be dangerous– How personal growth hides just outside your comfort zone– Why “good” might be the enemy of “great” 📍Whether it’s a job, relationship, routine, or version of yourself — ask:Is this comfort… or a cage?   This is your sign to stop settling. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to shake things up, this is it. Because staying comfortable might be the real risk.     Remember To Subscribe!    🎧 Listen & Watch Here:  🎙️ Spotify – Episode on Spotify 📺 YouTube – Watch on YouTube 🍎 Apple Podcasts – Listen on Apple 🔗 All links + socials here: linktr.ee/survivingyour20sofficial 📧 For All Dilemmas: sos@survivingyour20sofficial.com  📧 Work With Us Contact: info@survivingyour20sofficial.com ❤️‍🩹 JustGiving - https://www.justgiving.com/page/oliwia-jowsa-kidney-research?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL     #twenties #selfgrowth #advicefortwentysomethings #lifelessons #mindsetshift #mentalhealth #quarterlifecrisis #podcast     Time stamps  00:20 - Looking for a beach mule?? 🏖️🐎 05:47 - Letting go of good for the chance of GREAT ❤️‍🔥 08:52 - Your comfort zone is KILLING you🫣 10:12 - clinging on to comfort creates suffering 🥺 11:57 - Fake narratives were told in our 20s? 🎂 13:53 - JUST DO IT ✔️ 16:53 - You cannot know good without bad 😳 18:17 - Let go of that OKAY relationship ❤️‍🩹 19:38 - Stop being logical  23:47 - How to GUARANTEE success 🏆🙌 27:01 - Surviving your 20s Hotline ☎️ I’M STUCK!!

Feeling left behind in your 20s? Yeah, us too. Maybe you did everything “right” went to uni, got the degree and still ended up in a job that barely covers rent. Or maybe you skipped the traditional route, started your own thing, and now feel like a failure every time a friend posts their new house or fancy job title. Or maybe you’re just… floating. No big dream, no clear plan, just a growing pit in your stomach that whispers, “You should be further along by now.” Let’s get one thing straight: You are not behind. This feeling? It’s common. It’s normal. It’s valid. And it's not your fault. Each week, we’re tackling one hard truth about your 20s - together. This week? We're learning how to survive feeling left behind. We’ll be discussing the common pressures we face in our 20s, and how society makes that overwhelming pressure even harder. We’ll also dive into how to get out of this rut and start feeling better, with an action plan not just for success, but for your happiness too.   🎧 Listen & Watch Here:  🎙️ Spotify – ⁠Episode on Spotify⁠ 📺 YouTube – ⁠Watch on YouTube⁠ 🍎 Apple Podcasts – ⁠Listen on Apple⁠ 🔗 All links + socials here: ⁠linktr.ee/survivingyour20sofficial⁠ 📧 For All Dilemmas: ⁠sos@survivingyour20sofficial.com⁠  📧 Work With Us Contact: ⁠info@survivingyour20sofficial.com⁠ ❤️‍🩹 JustGiving - ⁠https://www.justgiving.com/page/oliwia-jowsa-kidney-research?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL⁠     #twenties #selfgrowth #advicefortwentysomethings #lifelessons #mindsetshift #mentalhealth #quarterlifecrisis #podcast     Time stamps  00:37 - Intro  10:21 - Topic of the week ✨ 27:00 - 20s Tea ☕️ 30:41 - Surviving your 20s Hotline ☎️
