Description

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.
