Musings with Meg

If buying a home is in your twenties bucket list, this episode is for you! I went through the massive journey (and commitment) of buying my first condo, becoming a homeowner, and now landlord in Toronto — and spill all the deets in this highly requested episode. Let's talk financing and preapprovals, condo shopping, closing, moving in, finding tenants, and SO much more; not to mention the decision behind buying in the first place, emotional turbulence faced in the process, and any + ALL things to consider to ensure you're making an *INFORMED* choice! Because if done right, this can set you up for a good chunk of your life (but if done carelessly, it can do the opposite). This isn't professional advice, but rather, an unfiltered glimpse into my personal experience and what I'd tell my friends — ultimately, do your own due diligence, and don't forget to enjoy the process. It's one of the most rewarding experiences in your adult life. --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ * 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang [https://www.instagram.com/megkuang/] * 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.substack.com/] * ❤ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠megkuang.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.com/] --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ * Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠ [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musingswithmeg/support]

Change seems to be the only constant in our twenties — and moving between cities is one of the best ways to shake things up! Whether transitioning from independence to moving back home, or taking the leap across the country, it's undeniable how much your physical location shapes your life and self-concept. How do you create a new sense of "home" somewhere unfamiliar? Cope with feelings of nostalgia and sadness with leaving your old life behind? Is there a "right place" to be in your twenties, or is the grass really just greener where you water it? Join Emilie and I in a conversation reflecting on our personal moves in our twenties: our decision making processes, the emotional ride, and how we're choosing intentionality in creating the lives we want, exactly where we are. --- This episode features Emilie Villaverde.

Keeping up with the Joneses. Shedding energy vampires. Learning and unlearning. Growing from pain. The hedonic treadmill. Honouring your inner child. Searching for your own truth amidst chaos. How do you shed all the bullsh*t and live life on your own terms? Leave the comparison trap, minimize regret, and pursue a life true to you and only you? Our twenties are a strange time — trials and tribulations, recalibrations, and constantly feeling "behind" — but what if it's all in your head? And if you take control over your mindset, can your twenties be one of the most beautiful decades of your life? ABSOLUTELY. There's nothing quite like advice from someone who's lived through it. That's why in this episode, I chat with Emma; thriving at peace in her 30s now after a turbulent 20s decade, we share a soul-to-soul chat on life lessons, hardships, realizations, and regrets. This episode is guaranteed to leave you with something deep to think about and apply to your life today, no matter the stage of your journey — you'll want to take notes! A happy life may just be a few mindset shifts away. --- This episode features Emma Fleming.

How do we shield our self-worth from rejections? Can girls ask guys out? Is attraction subjective? How do we stop taking things personally? "Just shoot your shot!" they say, but we know it's never just that easy — you need a mindset of steel to chase romantic pursuits without shame. In this episode, let's talk about that mindset. Alison is the QUEEN of unshakeable confidence in "shooting her shot" and radiating authenticity in every interaction. Tune in for big sister advice on asking people out, the nuances of attraction, reframing rejection, the value of communication and honesty, and finally, how to DATE with confidence so you don't live at the crutch of "what if"s. This is a conversation I know I NEEDED. I hope it gives you that extra boost to take the romantic risk, for it just might change your life. --- This episode features Alison Han, also in episode 77!

Did you know that the single most IMPORTANT indicator of lasting health and happiness in a given person's life is the quality of their connections? In other words, even in the midst of our busy adult lives, do NOT de-prioritize your pals! Since my previous friendships episode in Dec 2021 (ep 51), I've experienced two more years of new friendship lessons, some being harsher truths — specifically, SIX key lessons on the topics of growing apart, setting boundaries, making friends, lasting connections, and my personal tips to resist the loneliness epidemic. If you find it tough to make friends, keep friends, communicate boundaries, get triggered easily, or feel a general sense of confusion about friendships as an ADULT, this episode's for you. It's tough love style (as my solo talks always are), and I hope it brings a morsel of epiphanies, reflection, and the final nudge to check in on a friend today. :) --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ * 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/megkuang/] * 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.substack.com/] * ❤ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠megkuang.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.com/] --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ * Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠ [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musingswithmeg/support]
