The Psychology of your 20s

At the start of every year, I choose a theme - not just goals, but a guiding philosophy. For 2026, that theme is doing less and achieving more.
 
In this episode, we explore why focus beats busyness, why saying no creates better outcomes, and how choosing depth over overwhelm can actually lead to more success. 
 
Our discussion includes: 
 
 • Why a yearly theme is more powerful than traditional goals
 • The psychology of intrinsic motivation
 • The importance of focused vs. scattered effort
 • How to choose 1–2 true priorities for the year
 • The surprising psychology of rest
 • How to plan a year that feels intentional, not exhausting
 
Happy listening!

368. How to find your dream career in your 20s ft. George Appling

Money and love: the two things we stress about most in our twenties, and yet we rarely talk about how deeply connected they are. In this episode, I’m joined by Jack Howard, Head of Money Wellness at Ally, to unpack the psychology of money in our relationships and how it shapes who we date, how we fight, and how we build a life together.
 
In this episode, we explore:
 
 • Why money and love are so deeply linked
 • Spender vs. saver dynamics and why opposites so often attract
 • Why we emotionally spend?
 • What’s the deal with prenups?
 • Is it worth having an expensive wedding?
 • When to get joint bank accounts?
 • How to talk about money WELL!
 
If you’ve ever argued about money with a partner, avoided talking about it, or worried you’re “bad” with finances, this episode will give you language, tools, and a lot of reassurance that you’re not alone.

366. I moved to London

Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult can feel like both a relief and a reckoning. Suddenly your past makes so much more sense… but now you’re faced with learning a whole new way of managing your brain, your time, your relationships and your self-worth.
 
In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Wang, founder and CEO of Shimmer, who was diagnosed with ADHD at 28. Together we unpack what ADHD really looks like in your twenties, including:
 
 • The three ADHD subtypes and why women are so often missed
 • How late diagnosis can completely rewrite your identity (in a good way)
 • Why traditional productivity advice often fails ADHD brains 
 • The role of urgency, novelty and accountability
 • What actually is rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD)?
 • What ADHD–ADHD relationships can look like vs ADHD–neurotypical dynamics?
 
If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I just suck at being an adult, or is my brain wired differently?”, this episode is for you.

 • Why does every couple need to have that one “big” fight?
 • Why do so many couples break up at the 2-3 year mark?
 • When do you know someone is right for you for the long haul?
 • What the longest married couples know that we don’t....
