Listen "EPISODE 3 | The Myth of Having It All Figured Out in Your 30s"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all heard it: by your 30s you should know who you are, have your career locked in, your relationships sorted, maybe even a house, a family, a clear five-year plan. But what happens when reality doesn’t match society’s expectations?In this episode of Mind Over Matter, we unpack the myth of having it all figured out by 30—and why that pressure is more cultural than personal. We’ll explore theories like the social clock (those invisible timelines society places on us), emerging adulthood (why your 20s and early 30s are still very much about figuring things out), and even neuroplasticity research that proves growth and reinvention don’t have an expiry date.Along the way, we’ll bring in real-life stories, some social commentary, and practical reflections on how to release the pressure of timelines and lean into your own pace.Because here’s the truth: there’s no deadline on becoming.
