318. Dealing with uncertainty in your 20s

In "The Psychology of Your 20s," Jemma explores the overwhelming uncertainty that defines the decade of our 20s. Drawing inspiration from a listener's DM, she discusses how this uncertainty manifests in various aspects of life, from career and finances to relationships, and how it often leads to indecision and dissatisfaction. Jemma delves into the reasons behind this uncertainty, including the lack of a safety net, limited life experience, and the paradox of choice. She also examines the neurological basis for our aversion to the unknown, rooted in our brain's primal urge to seek stability and avoid danger. Jemma offers strategies to cope with uncertainty, such as assigning it a purpose, seeking stories of those who overcame it, creating a personal playlist, and embracing action over inaction, encouraging listeners to view uncertainty as a sign of growth and opportunity.
