Dear 25-year-old me: Stop apologising (and maybe drink more water)

from Kind of Crushing It · host Jessica McGovern & Natalie Milosevic

Kind of on Purpose Series: Jessica and Nat take a lighter, reflective turn as they look back on what they wish they could tell their 25-year-old selves, with a mix of humour, hindsight, and hard-earned perspective. From apologising and perfectionism to simply remembering to drink water, this episode is a candid reflection on the habits, beliefs, and pressures that shape us early in our careers.   They explore how learning not to take everything personally, practising self-compassion, and letting go of perfectionism could have changed the experience of those early career years. Along the way, they remind us that personal development isn't about fixing yourself overnight.   You'll hear about: 1️⃣ How values create clarity when you're not sure what's next 2️⃣ How perfectionism and overthinking fuel burnout 3️⃣ What shifts when you build self-awareness, self-compassion, and alignment   However old you are, this episode is a reminder that you don't need to have it all figured out. Drink the water, stop apologising, and trust that learning, reflecting, and adjusting along the way is part of how you grow. Jessica and Nat invite you to look back with compassion, move forward with intention, and keep kind of crushing it.   🌐 Connect with us: LinkedIn   Have topics you want us to cover?
