You ever feel like you’re collecting unfinished hobbies instead of achievements?

One month it’s Italian on Duolingo. The next, guitar lessons.

Now there’s an embroidery hoop staring at you from your dorm desk like it’s judging you.

You’re not lazy. You’re not lost.

You’re just curious in a world that keeps demanding commitment.

This episode? It’s for every “hobby hopper” who’s still figuring it out.

Feeling lost in your 20s? Can’t commit to one thing? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Mental, we meet Declan, a 20‑year‑old college student who’s mastered one thing: starting things. From embroidery to guitar to Italian lessons, he’s exploring everything—and blaming himself for not sticking to anything.

But what if curiosity isn’t failure? What if it’s a kind of mental skill—the courage to keep exploring even when the world tells you to commit?

Through Declan’s story, Nick explores:

• 
  

  Why Gen Z struggles with identity pressure and fear of commitment

  
  


• 
  

  The myth of “finding your thing” before 25

  
  


• 
  

  How curiosity actually fuels creativity, self‑discovery, and confidence

  
  


• 
  

  What it means to build mental skills for the in‑between seasons of life

  
  

Whether you’re a parent trying to understand your “indecisive” kid or a 20‑something wondering if you’re behind—this episode will make you rethink what success really means.
