This week we are discussing the ups and downs of living alone in your 20s: from the freedom and independence, to the loneliness and social isolation, financial anxiety and stress, but the authenticity and emotional maturity that comes with it. We talk about:

• Why being alone doesn't make you lonely
• Sliders versus deciders - why you should wait before moving in with a partner
• Cognitive distortions and overspending
• Lifestyle creep
• Habits for building social connection and community
• How to successfully live alone

All that and more, listen now!
