Outgrowing What You Love: Stranger Things, Addiction & Your Late 20s | Ep 29
from The Home Stretch Pod · host Elise Burton
In this episode, I’m sitting down for a cosy, honest catch-up that starts with Stranger Things and slowly turns into a bit of a life unload!!! Reflecting on life in my late twenties and this one goes a little deeper than expected lol.. I talk about why Stranger Things hasn’t been hitting the same (especially after that documentary release), nicotine snuggles and why outgrowing comfort can feel so uncomfortable. We get into late-twenties reflections, evolving friendships, career uncertainty, and the very real struggle of dealing with nicotine addiction and trying to break habits that no longer serve me. This episode is very much a relaxed, chatty ramble.. equal parts reflection, venting, and figuring things out in real time. There’s no big lesson or perfect conclusion, just honest thoughts about change, growth, and learning to sit with where you’re at. 🎧 Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let’s have a real catch-up. What to expect: 00:00 Introduction & recap of the previous episode 00:11 Frustrations with Stranger Things 03:03 Life reflections in your late twenties 06:34 Nicotine addiction & daily struggles 12:40 Friendships & personal growth 20:31 Career reflections & future plans 23:09 Final thoughts & wrap-up 🔔 don’t forget to like, subscribe & hit the bell for new episodes every Monday at 11am! subscribe to the podcast on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | wherever you get your podcasts 🎧 📱 come say hi on TikTok & Insta: @thehomestretchpod work with me 💌 [email protected] DISCLAIMER: Everything discussed in this podcast is based on personal experiences and is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
