Today’s conversation is with Dr Meg Jay. Meg is a clinical psychologist and author of the Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now as well as a number of other books focusing on navigating and thriving during your youth. A recent New York Times profile called Dr. Jay “the patron saint of striving youth” and her TED talk “Why 30 Is Not the New 20” is among the most watched to date. Dr. Jay earned a doctorate in clinical psychology, and in gender studies, from the University of California, Berkeley. She is on faculty at the University of Virginia and maintains a private practice in Charlottesville. You can expect to learn why your 20s aren’t the most stress free decade of your life, what critical events take place during your 20s and what these can mean for your future, and why 30 is not the new 20 despite what some media tell you. You will also hear about the importance of building identity capital, what role weak ties can play in shaping your life, how to be more introspective and know what you truly want. Meg brings so much wisdom to the conversation and you’re going to hear in my voice just how much I enjoyed hosting this episode. I don’t say this lightly when I say this conversation has some of the most valuable insights and learnings I’ve heard in the last three and a bit years of podcasting.
