761. Why Your 20s Are For Uncertainty

Author: Almost 30 July 24, 2025 Duration: 10:26
In this episode, renowned psychologist and author of the new book, The Twentysomething Treatment, Dr. Meg Jay dives into the complexities of life in your twenties. Meg addresses the common struggles faced by young adults, such as anxiety, depression, and the overwhelming pressure to meet societal milestones. Ahead, Lindsey and Meg discuss the psychological phenomena known as the "liking gap" and the negative skew of the twenty-something brain. Plus, discover why the twenties are a foundation-building period rather than a peak to have everything figured out.

Finding this space might feel like a happy accident, but there's a reason you're here. Morning Microdose, from the team at Almost 30, is a daily practice designed to replace that initial, often mindless, scroll through your phone with something that actually nourishes you. We recognize how vulnerable our thoughts are in those first waking moments, and how frequently we surrender that time to digital noise instead of our own intention. This podcast offers a concise, sub-ten-minute experience crafted to consciously prime your mind, body, and spirit for whatever the day holds. Each episode weaves together perspectives from education, culture, fitness, and holistic health, creating a short but potent blend of ideas for self-improvement. You'll hear reflections on societal trends, practical wellness tips, and thoughtful insights that challenge the usual morning routine. It's about making those first few minutes count, setting a tone of awareness and purpose that can ripple through your entire day. Tune in and discover how a small, consistent dose of mindful content can fundamentally shift your morning-and by extension, your outlook.
