Elizabeth Day: Your Twenties Shape the Best Years Of Your Life | GREAT MOMENTS

About this episode

Elizabeth Day discusses how our twenties shape our lives and the importance of reframing success.

Your twenties can feel like A LOT.  There’s a pressure to find a job that you love, show up perfectly in your friendships and relationships… and somehow keep up with everyone else. It’s hard not to compare yourself when everyone else seems to have it figured out.  Author, journalist and host of the award-winning podcast How to Fail, Elizabeth Day understands that feeling all too well.  In this Great Moment, she reflects on how each decade of her life has shaped her, and why reframing the way we think about success is so important.  She explains how comparison can fuel self-doubt, and why the lessons we learn along the way are what truly matter. Because ultimately, life isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon. Listen to the full episode HERE !
