In this candid girl talk, we’re sharing the biggest lessons we learned in our 20s — from navigating messy relationships and healing from the past, to finding peace in divine timing when life feels uncertain.

We also dive into the importance of tracking our habits for mental health, self-management, and the power of staying curious through self-education.

Whether you're in your 20s or reflecting on them, this is a vulnerable, honest conversation on growth, identity, and becoming who you’re meant to be.
