Part two of our 'Thriving or Surviving in Your Twenties' episode is here! We're older, none the wiser, but ready to reflect on the transition from our early 20s to our late 20s (eek!). We share our expectations vs reality, if life panned out the way we imagined, and how we're feeling now that we're heading into our 30s.

Everyday, we make creative decisions, whether it's choosing an outfit, curating our socials, or deciding what to cook. These are forms of style and self-expression, and come hand in hand with creativity.
We reflect on the rituals we follow for everyday creativity, the evolution of our personal styles, how we have experimented with trends, staying authentic to ourselves, and realise we may be more creative than we think.
