Twenty 'Til Podcast

What's going on 20-somethings?! In your 20s, it's easy to get caught in the cycle of saying "I don't know" - not knowing what's next, not knowing if you're on the right path, or not knowing how to feel about where you are in life. In this episode, I break down the recurring "I don't know" mood and what it really means.I share the deeper truth behind it: the struggle to accept your current season instead of constantly pushing toward the next. Through reflection, real-life examples, and practical ways to find peace in uncertainty, this episode will help you release the pressure to have it all figured out. Whether you're feeling stuck, questioning your path, or just navigating the ups and downs of your 20s, this episode is a reminder that acceptance is a form of growth.  

What's going on 20-somethings?! Your 20s are often the first time you get to experience the mix of freedom and responsibility that comes with living on your own. In this episode, I sit down with Taylor Jourdan (@msstayjourdan) to unpack the realness of solo living - from decorating your space and paying your first set of bills to handling the late-night loneliness and finding joy in independence. Together, we dive into the lessons, challenges, and growth that come with making a place truly your own. Whether you're debating your first apartment, already in your solo era, or just curious what it's like, this conversation will give you both laughs and insights for your journey. Because in your 20s, living alone isn't just about the space you're in - it's about the person you're becoming! 

What's going on 20-somethings ?!Friendship in your twenties isn't always brunch dates and birthday posts; sometimes it's distance, discomfort, and discovering who's really in your corner. In this episode, I sit down with someone who's been in mine for years, my best friend Tatiyanah (@ms.doe08_), to unpack what navigating friendship in your twenties actually looks like. From evolving dynamics and hard conversations to learning how to be a better friend (to others and yourself), we're keeping it honest, light, and real. Together we talk about: friendship breakups, long-distance friendship and communication shifts, the importance of giving grace through growth, what it means to be aligned in friendship, and even grieving the loss of a friend. This conversation with my best friend proves that in your twenties, friendships don't have to be perfect - they just have to be real!

What's going 20-somethings?! What happens when your reality doesn't match your dreams, and your paycheck isn't coming from your passion?In this solo episode, I open up about the unexpected pause the Twenty 'Til Podcast took and the season that led me there. From working as a substitute teacher to feeling creatively drained and stretched thin, I share the very real tension between survival and purpose and the guilt that sometimes comes with choosing rest. We'll talk about working jobs that aren't aligned with your dreams, what the Disney/Pixar film 'Soul' taught me about purpose, and why your "in-between" season is still part of your story. Whether you're clocking in somewhere you don't love or trying to keep your goals alive after hours, this one is for the 20-something making it work - one day at a time. Together we're learning to rewrite the timeline, release the pressure, and remember: Just because it's not your dream job doesn't mean you've stopped dreaming. 

What's going on 20-somethings?!What happens when the way or how you were raised starts to shape who you attract, how you love, or the boundaries you don't set?In this episode, we are joined by Mona Juaniece (@styledbymonajuaniece), a mother, hairstylist, and entrepreneur, for an honest conversation about the silent patterns and emotional habits we carry into adulthood - and what it looks like to question, confront, and release them.Together, we reflect on how upbringing impacts identity, boundaries, and the courage it takes to unlearn what once felt normal. Whether you're unlearning in real time or still trying to name what shaped you, you're not alone in the process.
