## Resource

If your younger self could see your life today, would they be surprised? Proud? Confused? Maybe all three. In this episode, we reflect on the expectations we had in our 20s and how life unfolded in ways we never could have predicted. From career paths and relationships to motherhood, resilience, friendship, aging, and personal growth, we explore the gap between who we thought we’d become and who we actually are. We talk about the dreams we held onto, the parts of ourselves that stayed the same, the fears we outgrew, and the experiences that shaped us in ways our younger selves could never have understood. This conversation is honest, reflective, funny, and deeply human.
