RE: Redefining Success in Your Twenties (And Choosing What Actually Matters)
from You've Got Mail · host Bella
In this episode of You’ve Got Mail, we’re unpacking the pressure of success in your twenties — from promotions and salary expectations to comparison, productivity guilt, and the fear of falling behind. When we were younger, success felt simple: work hard, get the result. But adulthood doesn’t work like that. And when your self-worth is tied to outcomes you can’t fully control, it’s exhausting. If you’ve been feeling behind, not good enough, or quietly anxious about your career path, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. We’re talking about ambition, external validation, imposter syndrome, and what it really means to define success on your own terms — instead of chasing someone else’s timeline. Because maybe success isn’t about being ahead. Maybe it’s about choosing what’s actually worth caring about. Love, Bella Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
