What reflections does Jemma share on turning 26?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Over the last couple years, didn't we learn that the folding chair was invented by black people because of what happened in Alabama? This Black History Month, the podcast Selective Ignorance with Mandy B unpacks black history and culture with comedy, clarity, and conversations that shake the status quo. The Crown Act in New York was signed in July of 2019, and that is a bill that was passed to prohibit discrimination based on hairstyles associated with race. To hear this and more, listen to Selective Ignorance with Mandy B from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband, Mike, was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe. That's your home. That's your husband.

Hello, everybody. I'm Gemma Speck, and welcome back to The Psychology of Your 20s, the podcast where we talk through the biggest changes, moments, and transitions of our 20s and what they mean for our psychology.
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. Welcome back to the podcast. It is so great to have you here. Today, we have a special edition episode. We have my yearly birthday episode. Last year, I think last year we spoke about birthday anxiety and the year before it was like the fear of getting older, maybe. But today we're doing something more classic. And I'm going to talk about the 26 lessons I've learned from the last 26 years of life. Some of these are really practical. Others are more psychological. Some are really personal. Some are just weird. But I went out for dinner with myself the other night and I sat down. I brought my little notebook and I just really reflected on what I've learned. And it was rather emotional.
I did have a few tears of the waiters were looking at me weird. I also did have a few martinis. So two of those things could have contributed to each other. But this last year has just been so mind-blowing. It's just been the biggest year of my life. My book came out, the podcast on Netflix, moving to London. Those are just the headlines. And it's kind of hard to process sometimes. And I'm so grateful. And I was just really reflecting on the lessons that I've gained, both in the last year, but before any of this happened. Before I was even in my 20s, when I was 17, 16, yeah, 21, things that have stopped me as well from all those experiences.
