When we move through our 20s, it can feel like everyone else is making big, brave moves - new cities, new jobs, new relationships - while we’re stuck in the same place, overthinking every possible outcome. Change sounds good in theory, but in practice? It’s terrifying. In today’s episode, we dig into why we resist change, and what it actually takes to move forward even when part of you wants to stay the same.

We explore:
•        Why change feels so overwhelming in our 20s
•        How loss aversion keeps us clinging to ‘fine but not right’ situations
•        What we really lose by staying the same
•        Why some of the best, most aligned decisions are also the scariest
•        How to build a more compassionate, positive mindset around change
•        Practical ways to take action with your fear, instead of waiting for it to disappear

If you’re stuck in the loop of wanting change, but being scared to action it, this episode is for you.
