Welcome (back) to Twenty 12

Twenty 12 is a podcast about career pivots, identity, nostalgia, reconnecting with your younger self, and the quiet pull to build a life that feels more like your own.The name is a nod to both 2012 and the age 32, aka a moment when many people find themselves looking backward and forward at the same time. Back to the version of themselves they were at 12: curious, passionate, competitive, creative, expressive, unfiltered. Forward to the people they are becoming in their 30s: wiser, more self-aware, more capable, and less willing to stay on a path that looks good but feels wrong.This podcast is for 30-somethings who identify as being high-performers, achievers, "doers," who have checked the boxes, built the résumé, climbed the ladder, earned the title, or followed the “right” path — only to realize they feel stuck, bored, burnt out, disillusioned, or disconnected from themselves.Some of our episodes will feature conversations with guests who have made brave professional moves: starting businesses, changing industries, leaving corporate roles, redefining success, building creative careers, or simply choosing a path that made more sense for who they were becoming.I'll be talking about the messy middle of career change: fear, money, identity, confidence, comparison, family expectations, ambition, reinvention, and the question so many of us quietly carry:“What if this isn’t it?”Twenty 12 is not about blowing up your life overnight. It is about listening to the clues, reconnecting with what has always mattered, and learning how to make brave, thoughtful moves toward a career and life that feel more honest.And don't worry: we're gunna have a whole lotta fun, too :) Because who isn't craving more nostalgia these days? Now more than ever, I find myself yearning back to simpler times when the world felt calmer and life didn't feel like it was in hyperdrive. We'll be referencing back to our favorite movies, songs, cultural moments of 2012, and reflecting on how the world was really starting to shift towards "immediacy" culture: with the formations of companies like Lyft, Tinder, Instacart, Peloton and others that made accessing the things we want easier than ever. Welcome (back) to Twenty 12 - we're glad you're here.
