Late 20s Identity Crisis - Learning to be kind to yourself

Late 20s Identity Crisis - Learning to be kind to yourself

Feeling lost in your late 20s? Questioning your career, identity, relationships, or where your life is going? In this episode of So What Happens Next? I talk honestly about the pressure of feeling “behind” in your 20s, grieving old versions of yourself, social media timelines, career panic, and the fear of running out of time. This episode is for anyone navigating a late 20s identity crisis, struggling with comparison, reinventing themselves, or feeling unsure about who they’re becoming. From fitness and grief to learning new hobbies and rebuilding confidence, this is an honest conversation about growth, change, and learning that uncertainty doesn’t mean failure.

The child free glow up

This week’s episode is all about The Childfree Glow-Up, not just physically, but mentally, and emotionally. After falling into a bit of a slump lately with doom scrolling, Netflix marathons, procrastination and an “I’ll do it later” mindset, I’m talking honestly about the small things that have been helping me feel like myself again. From rebuilding routines and getting back into hobbies, to fixing my sleep, sorting my space out and romanticising my life again, this episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to reset at any point. I also talk about the freedom that comes with being childfree, learning to enjoy your own company, and creating a life that genuinely feels good to you, not just one that looks productive online. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, disconnected from yourself, or just a bit “off” lately, this one’s for you.

So... why do I not want to have children. My 7 reasons why!

This week’s episode is probably the most raw, honest and unfiltered conversation I’ve had on the podcast so far. I’m talking openly about some of the reasons why I’ve personally chosen not to have children. From deeper experiences growing up, to wanting freedom, sleep, hobbies, peace, spontaneity, and honestly… just genuinely loving the life I’ve built. Some reasons are serious. Some are funny. Some are probably a little controversial. But all of them are honest. This episode isn’t about judgement or saying one life path is better than another. As always, this podcast is about choice, self-awareness, and building a life that genuinely aligns with who you are. So… let’s talk about it 🤍

Healing your inner child through hobbies

In this episode of So What Happens Next, I’m talking about hobbies, healing your inner child, and learning how to build a life that feels fulfilling outside of society’s expectations. Why does fun suddenly seem to have an age limit? Why are we encouraged to be creative as children, only to be told to “grow up” as adults? I talk about my own experience of reconnecting with myself through hobbies, creativity, dance, romanticising life again, and allowing myself to enjoy things without needing them to be productive. Whether you’re childfree, questioning the traditional life script, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself lately, this episode is your reminder that you are allowed to have fun again. Because maybe healing isn’t always about fixing yourself. Maybe your inner child just wants to play again.

Relationships, Friendships and Family: Navigating a Child Free Life

So… what happens next when your relationships don’t all move in the same direction as your life? In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve personally found one of the hardest parts of stepping outside the traditional timeline. Relationships. From romantic relationships and having those difficult conversations early on… to friendships shifting over time, and the quiet pressure that can come from family, this is an honest look at how life choices can impact the people around you. I share some of my own experiences, from navigating those early conversations in relationships, to moments where I’ve felt out of place in friendships, and the assumptions that can come from family. This one felt a bit more vulnerable to record, but it’s an honest one.
