when milestone's don't make sense with emily carey

welcome back to live a little with nikki lilly... this week is extra special because we have our very first guest! nikki is sitting down with actor emily carey. you might recognise emily from all of our favourite shows, including netflix's geek girl and hbo's house of the dragon. on this episode, emily gets real about why school wasn't a good place for them, being a self-proclaimed geek, and how acting gave them a sense of purpose and belonging when nothing else did. they dive into the complicated reality of having parts of your life accelerated far beyond your peers - paying rent, living alone, working - while feeling behind in the "normal" teenage experiences like friendships and socialising. nikki and emily talk about the myth of having it all figured out, why milestone ages feel skewed when your childhood looks different, and the pressure of toxic positivity in the entertainment industry. if you've ever felt like you've lived a lot of life but also not enough of it, this conversation is for you. grab a cup of tea, get cosy and remember - it's okay to be a work in progress. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
