199: Wedding Season Is Triggering—Listen To This If You're Comparing Your Timeline To Others
Feeling behind? You're not alone. In this honest solo episode, Josie dives deep into the anxiety that hits when your feed is full of engagements, wedding invites flood your inbox, and you’re wondering if you’re somehow “late” to your own life. Whether you’re 22 and single or 39 and still figuring it all out, this episode unpacks why comparison spirals hit so hard in our 20s and 30s—and how to break free from them. Josie shares about the real reason marriage feels like a deadline (hint: it’s not your biological clock), how societal conditioning is still quietly shaping our worth, and why your timeline is not only valid—but sacred. You’ll walk away with fresh perspective, real tools, and maybe even a little more peace with where you are. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be further along by now”—this one’s for you.
