175. Living alone in your 20s

This week we are discussing the ups and downs of living alone in your 20s: from the freedom and independence, to the loneliness and social isolation, financial anxiety and stress, but the authenticity and emotional maturity that comes with it. We talk about:

  • Why being alone doesn't make you lonely
  • Sliders versus deciders - why you should wait before moving in with a partner
  • Cognitive distortions and overspending
  • Lifestyle creep
  • Habits for building social connection and community
  • How to successfully live alone

All that and more, listen now!
