Since graduating I've lived in three different cities, made new friends, lost a few friends, and done a whole lot of learning on what it means to be an adult. Adulting is not something that ever comes with a manual. No one teaches you about how to let go of something you wanted so desperately to work out or how to overcome getting rejected from a dream job. No one tells you what to do when it feels like you're not moving forward or how to start taking a step 1 when it comes to having good financial habits. We will dive into that and so much more in this weeks episode. Enjoy!

There are certain life moments that are such curve balls they leave you feeling shocked and unable to (emotionally) move. And yet at the same time you aren't really given time to stop and process - life keeps moving forward. In this episode I talk about the duality of life: of balancing joy and grief, of being there for yourself and also others, of wanting to make a life for yourself in a new city and still feeling deeply rooted in your hometown. There is no perfect recipe, but this is me just trying to figure it out myself.
