About this episode
Carmen Kang discusses the complexities and unspoken challenges of growing up.
( For any video watchers, please be warned this video is out of focus for a good portion of the episode! Thank you for sharing your time and listening/or watching! ) Growing up can feel strange, like one second we're all in the same boat and quickly that shifts. Now it feels a little more daunting, maybe you feel a little isolated, or things just feel all around confusing and weird. This is just part of growing up, and also what a lot of us don't say about it. So I decided to chat about some of that in this episode. Hope you enjoy :) --- Keep up with the show here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imcarmenkang/ (@imcarmenkang) https://www.instagram.com/thetryingtimespodcast/ (@thetryingtimespodcast) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetryingtimespodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/imcarmenkang (@imcarmenkang)
