What are the 10 unhinged truths the host wishes she knew in her 20s?
welcome back to the being her podcast and on today's episode i'm gonna unveil reveal 10 truths that i wish i knew in my 20s that would have saved me a lot of psychological trauma drama and thoughts your 20s are a psychologically really violent time baby girl they're really hard and it's a hard decade of your life you're a little bit insecure but you're an adult you're pretending to be who you are because of like how you used to be as a child and you think that that's your identity but also at the same time you do not value the youth that you have and how adorable you look to the rest of the world because it just affords you cuteness naturally you think everyone else knows what they're doing when the secret is they don't 30 40s 50s you don't know what you're doing i haven't reached 40s and 50s yet but from what i hear
every decision you think you're going to make you think is permanent you think you're going to sneeze left or right and it's going to be permanent for the rest of your life you think one rejection of troy mcgee means that you will never find the one and then later you can't even remember his face or who he was or what he does like literally guys that i used to think are iconic in my 20s or chase their attention i don't even remember them Meanwhile, everyone else around you is privately spiraling too in your 20s, but you're not admitting it to each other, okay? And if you're watching this, you might be 18, you might be 17, you might be 30 and a little bit late to some realizations, or maybe you're 40 and you want to back me up in the comments, or maybe we all have different progresses and different growths.
Some people who have a little bit more of a tricky existence have a quicker growing up phase, okay? So today I want to talk about... 10 unhinged truths that I genuinely wish I knew earlier because these would have saved me years of thoughts and being extremely bothered. My book Unbothered is out. It's officially out. Go and actually listen to it on Audible with my here voice if you enjoy it. The reason I thought of this podcast is I was watching a YouTube video of a beauty creator that it just flipped over as the next video of a beauty creator that I really used to enjoy when I used to watch YouTube more and I had more time in my 20s and she was one of the most iconic beauty creators ever. and she said, or a video was titled about, I'm invisible now that I'm 40, and I clicked on it because I was like, WTF?
The whole preface of it was that she didn't appreciate how the world turned towards her, men opened doors, animals followed her through the forest in her 20s, and now she's in her 40s, she doesn't get the same treatment. A lot of the comments naturally were like, I cannot wait for men to de-center me because I just, I'm sick of the male gaze. But it made me realize something, which is truth number one. Unhinged, ruthless truth number one that you need to know, my dear gal, is age is mostly positioning. There are some truths in age. And that is, if you're aging, you are lucky because the alternative is not ideal. If you're not aging, what are you doing, class? That's right. You are not... here, right? Aging means you're living, okay?
How you age and how you look is a whole different thing. You can do whatever it is you want to do to yourself from creams to surgeries to good lifestyles. But what I mean is everyone is going to meet an inevitable truth, right? The problem is the positioning like in any situational marketing is how you market something. A Rolex is a watch and a Michael Kors watch is a watch. I'm saying that about the brand, not because I feel any type of way about it, but there is memes about it, right? so how you position yourself as said watch how you position yourself as said age says everything i'm going to summarize it to you in something that changed my thinking because i panicked about aging in several times in my life there was peaks of panic about aging one of the steepest peaks of aging i had was at 28 oh my god
Who is even old at 28?
