The Psychology of your 20s

In "The Psychology of Your 20s," Jemma discusses signs that your career may not be right for you, emphasizing that there's no such thing as a perfect "dream job." She highlights five key indicators: emotional numbness, a disconnect between identity and work, fantasizing about quitting, lacking role models in the industry, and experiencing burnout or physical illness. Jemma encourages listeners to identify their core values and seek careers that align with them, rather than chasing an elusive dream job, and to prioritize their health and well-being when considering career choices. She concludes by sharing a personal anecdote and encouraging listeners to reflect on their own career paths, emphasizing that it's never too late to make a change.
