What I Wish I Knew in My 20s

Hey. It's your friend, Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. I am so excited about the extraordinary expert that you and I are gonna learn from today. Doctor Meg Jay is here in our Boston studios. Now doctor Jay wrote the seminal book on what is the hardest decade of everyone's life, which is your twenties. And today, you're gonna get the most important advice about your twenties that no one has ever told you. So if you're in your twenties and you're listening right now, I am so thrilled that you're here because this is exactly what you need to hear right now. It's gonna help so much. You probably thought your twenties were gonna be amazing. So did I. But instead, you can't find a job you like. You're scared that you're not gonna be able to pay for the things that you want or to meet somebody. And in between crying alone in your bedroom or being ghosted by people or never seeing your friends, you just feel lost. Well, doctor Jay is here to fix that. Or if you're like me and you have people in your twenties who you love, for example, my husband and I, we have three kids in their twenties, or maybe you have nieces or nephews or friends in their twenties who are struggling with uncertainty, and you don't know how to motivate or support them. Well, doctor Jay knows how to, and she's here for you. And she has some really great news. After two decades of studying and working exclusively with people in their twenties, she's gonna tell you what actually matters in your twenties, how to avoid the biggest mistakes that people make, and exactly what to do right now if you feel lost or behind. Doctor j is also a professor at the University of Virginia, and she's gonna tell you the five things every college student does wrong and the things their parents do wrong too. She's also gonna tell you what to do to make it right. I can't wait for you to listen. I can't wait for you to learn and to share this with everyone that you know. Because based on the data, every person in their twenties is in the most difficult decade of their life, whether they show it on social media or not. But doctor Jay also says with some very simple steps, you can make it one of the most positive and defining decades too. These are the truths I wish somebody had shared with me, and I can't wait to share them with every 20 in my life. Hey. It's your friend, Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast.
