Being in your 20s is a hectic time. With so many life changes coming so fast, no one knows what to expect next. You’re not a child, but sometimes you still feel like you. Half of us could not tell you what the purpose of an IRS form is. Finding your lifelong partner feels harder than it should be.

On this episode of “In Your 20’s’, Lyndi Harris and guest Caroline Jurecka talk dating. From the awkwardness to the expectations to the disappointments, we get into how difficult it is to successfully date in this day and age.

Being in your early twenties, there is this expectation and pressure that you have to find your person now. Once you’re out of school, your chances are slim to none.

However, with the progression of this generation, dating isn’t impossible. It’s just different though it definitely feels impossible at times.

From someone with very limited experience and someone with years of experience, we both feel like every expectation is too high for men to reach, but after discussion, our standards feel like the bear minimum.

  • What can we as women do better when dating?
  • What do we wish men would do in dating?
  • Has social media ruined the dating world?
  • Are we all too young?
  • Do we need to start going for older men?

There are so many questions in the dating world that no one has the answer for. Especially when our parents were married already in their 20s.

Join us as we navigate this conversation surrounding everyone’s most annoying topic.

On this episode of ‘In Your 20s’, Lyndi Harris along with Lindsey Imboden (not to be confused), discuss the differences in the phases of life you can face while being the same age as other peers.

Some friends are having babies, and others are traveling the world and documenting it all.

There is so much that stereotypically happens in your 20s, but not everyone is on the same timeline. You don’t hit 24 and automatically meet the love of your life or get your dream job. Oftentimes, there are bumps in the road that slow you down.

We have been friends for a decade. With that, we get the privilege to watch old and new friends achieve their dreams. However, we aren’t there yet.

Entering the medical field, Lindsey has dealt with a lot of treatment towards her as a woman that should not be tolerated, but we ask the questions:

  • How do you get taken seriously when you’re only 22?
  • Why is it hard for people to accept that young women can have careers?
  • Is it really necessary to have babies before a career?
  • Do you really have to know what you want to do with the rest of your life at 22?

Sometimes this can feel like you’re not doing enough with your life, and comparison can diminish the confidence you have in yourself. This is not the case though.

From marriage to graduate school, to dream jobs or not-so-dream jobs, Lindsey and Lyndi cover all bases of the expected milestones to take place in your 20s!
