Have you ever gone days without replying to messages, not because you don’t care — but because you’re just mentally and emotionally drained? In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, It’s Just Your Twenties, host Godiya Kanwai unpacks what happens when overwhelm leads to isolation.
We explore the guilt of not being available, the psychology behind emotional shutdown, and why it’s so hard to “show up” when your inner world feels too heavy. You’ll hear honest reflections, research-backed insights, and practical tips for reconnecting — with yourself and others — even when it feels impossible.
This one’s for the people who care deeply… but are just tired.
What happens when your twenties don’t look like the dream you imagined? In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, It’s Just Your Twenties, host Godiya Kanwai dives deep into the quiet heartbreak of unmet expectations — from career struggles to relationship letdowns, financial stress, identity confusion, and the sinking feeling of being “behind.”
Blending personal storytelling with psychology, research, and cultural commentary, this 30-minute episode explores why disappointment in your 20s hits so hard — and how to cope with it. We break down the myths of the perfect timeline, the pressure of social comparison, and offer real tools for navigating the grief of “what could’ve been.”
You’ll hear insights from psychology, relatable movie references, and affirming reminders that you’re not alone — just human.
