Episode Synopsis

What does it mean to grow up, really? From Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship, the first Bildungsroman, we explore a young man navigating chaotic theatre troupes, secret societies, and confusing life advice while learning that growth comes from stepping into life, not achieving perfection. We tie this to today’s world of social media, where perfectionism and comparison can haunt us like ghosts, and share insights on embracing failure, letting go of self-blame, and finding balance. Plus, we celebrate the lessons of improv: mistakes aren’t the problem, refusing to play is. A messy, beautiful hullabaloo of life, learning, and imperfection.
