17 to 27: What I Learned About Life in 10 Years
Description
What was life really like in 2015 compared to 2025?
At 17, weekends were simple: bike rides, football, family dinners, late-night walks with friends. At 27, life feels heavier: cost of living pressure, doomscrolling, short-form content, friendships fading, and a constant sense of being “behind.”
In this episode, I reflect on how the world changed in just 10 years — and why so many of us feel disconnected, stressed, and burnt out. I’ll break down:
The shift in friendships, family, and community.
How social media went from memes to a life support system.
Why ambition now feels like burnout.
The fear around money and choice overload.
And how we can still rebuild connection and meaning in real life.
It’s not about dwelling on the past. It’s about learning how to live differently in the present.
