Summertime Sadness: Career Comparisons + Navigating a Quarter Life Crisis

Erin shares her advice for how to navigate a quarter-life crisis (or multiple) and the career comparisons that happen so often in our 20s. When we're all at different places in our lives and careers, it is way too easy to get stuck in a comparison spiral. You're not alone!

We cover:

  • Erin's most recent quarter-life crisis at Ocean City Maryland (and why Lana Del Rey is the best medicine)
  • Why there is so much pressure to be perfect in our 20s!!!
  • Advice for navigating friendships when we're all in different places
  • How money, status, and job title play into career comparisons. Hint: Your career does not equal your worth!
  • Why it's totally normal to feel this way (and how to use career comparisons to motivate you to make a change)

Check out The Prelude to hear song recs from Erin's Summertime Sadness playlist on YouTube, plus Erin's take on Taylor Swift's "The Life of a Showgirl" announcement on New Heights podcast!
