EP. 185 [Tough Twenties] Myths that Might be Holding You Back from Living Your Best Life

<p>In this episode, I share about some myths that can hold you back from living your best life. It's easy to get caught up in the pressure to conform and meet expectations of others. We can find ourselves striving for success based on societal standards or seeking validation from those around us. To live our best lives, it's essential to explore our unique strengths and follow our own path. </p> <p>During this episode I share about five myths many adults base their lives on, truths that counter those myths, and what you can do now to start living your best life. It took me a long time to learn these lessons, and I really wish someone would have talked with me about them when I was launching into adulthood. </p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Myths that Might Be Holding You Back</span></strong></p> <ol> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Everyone (or certain people) need to approve of our job/career for it to be “successful.”</p> </li> </ol> <p dir="ltr">Truth: Some of the older adults that you think of as being successful are not happy with their lives and regret not pursuing something they were really interested in but didn’t have the same level of prestige/income associated with it. </p> <p dir="ltr">What to do: Chase your strengths/interests.
