The Psychology of your 20s

These days it's easy to feel observed and, therefore, judged by everyone for everything, whether that's online or in real life.

Our discussion includes topics like: 

• Why is it so difficult to let people misunderstand you?
• How our core wounds effect how we handle criticism
• The power of delusional thinking
• How to manage comparison in hyper-competitive spaces
• The truth about influencer culture
• What it takes to become an author
• How do you know you’re with the right person?

That and so much more! Listen now!

In your 20s you're told to be as ambitious as you can be, go after your dreams, work hard, be delusional, pursue your passion at any cost. How can we do that without our lives and health crumbling? What is the balance between ambition and appreciation? In today's episode we bring on Amina AlTai, author of The Ambition Trap to talk about: 

• Why having more ambition doesn’t always make you more successful
• How a scarcity mindset can ruin your 20s
• How to find your ‘zone of genius’
• When to say ‘no’ to something you really want to do
• How to lean into the slower seasons of life
• The miserable paradox of success
• When do you need to ‘lock in’ & when do you need to have fun?

If you've ever struggled with balancing your big goals with your desire to enjoy life, this episode is for you. 

We can be so fixed on a job, a person, an outcome that we fuse our identity to it – and, crucially, forget that we’re okay without it. In today’s bonus episode, we unpack detachment: why we cling so tightly to people and outcomes, what over-attachment does to our mind and mood, and how to loosen the grip in a way that feels calm, kind, and clear.
We explore:

•        Why we become attached to certain people or outcomes
•        The impact of becoming overly attached on our behaviours, thoughts and emotions
•        The Buddhist concept of ‘non-attachment’
•        How detaching from the outcome can keep us grounded
•        The value of the Stoic mindset
