If you are feeling lost in your quarter life, this episode is for you! The first thing you need to know if you’re lacking direction and feeling quite confused about life at the moment is that what you’re experiencing is incredibly common, completely normal, and given the nature of our 20’s & 30’s and the shifts that happen during this time, it makes total sense. The other thing you need to know if you’re feeling lost is that it actually comes with some benefits which can have a huge positive impact on our lives 

Key Takeaways:
