Episode 21: Getting Older
from The New Normal · host Spencer Parsons
When you’re younger, you think adults have life completely figured out.Then you grow up and realize most people are just trying their best while figuring things out as they go.In this episode, I talk about some of the things nobody really warns you about when it comes to adulthood — friendships changing, responsibilities replacing freedom, isolation, realizing your parents were learning too, and why peace starts mattering more than being “cool.”We spend so much of our younger years chasing excitement, approval, and the idea of having everything together…but adulthood slowly teaches you to appreciate ordinary things:quiet nights, genuine connection, a good song, a freshly mowed lawn, and moments of peace.This episode is honest, reflective, funny at times, and probably one of the most relatable conversations I’ve had on the podcast so far.
