FIRST EP OF OUR NEW SHOW! :D go follow it on spotify but here's the first episode <3

now that we’re entering our 20s a lot of us are starting to realize how unprepared we feel, how bleak the future can seem, and how pessimistic we can be about the possibility of living a good life. why does it feel like the world is ending? are we being dramatic or is there some truth to it? in this episode we explore our hopes and fears as we enter young adulthood, the state of gen z, and how we can maybe learn to be a little more hopeful about the future.
