We all grow up hearing “act your age,” as if there’s one right way to be at every stage of life. But life doesn’t move in neat stages, and neither do we. Acting My Age is a monthly conversation about navigating your twenties in real time. It’s about shifting identities, gentle self-discovery, lessons that land slowly, and the quiet chaos of becoming. The episodes should feel like late-night conversations with someone who gets it, someone figuring it out too, just a few steps ahead or behind.

Voice Memo: What stability looks like at 27 - spoiler: it’s still chaotic

This episode is a 25-minute ramble about what stability means when you’re no longer chasing what the world calls “secure.” I talk about growing up, redefining stability, and learning to make peace with change, the kind of change that’s constant, uncomfortable, but somehow grounding.


It’s about the shift from wanting life to be stable to feeling aligned. From 23 to 27, growth has been less about building a perfect structure and more about finding rhythm in the mess and choosing peace that feels real over order that looks good.

Voice Memo: Religion, God, the Universe and Existence

I saw a post by @purplehelena on tiktok (go watch it!!!!!) talking about why she’s agnostic and what religion/belief meant to her. It resonated with me as well and I wanted to capture my own thoughts as I discoved/listed to her perspective and what was meant to be a voice memo somehow turned into a 40-minute conversation with myself about Agnosticism, God, Religion, the Universe and Existence! So, zero structure here. Give it a listen if you want. I went through a series of understanding belief systems, why/why not religion, human existence and blah blah blah. Enjoy I guess🤩🤩🤩

is social media fake? influencer culture and being chronically online

Let’s discuss: Careers, passions and capitalism in your twenties
Careers are a scam, surely? "Do what you love and never work a day in your life"! Uhhh? Under capitalism? No such thing. In this episode, we talk about how the idea of a linear career design isn't very human. We also dive into how capitalism has tricked us into giving up the best years of our lives for a later *perceived* freedom and ALSO the best parts of ourselves by convincing us, "If you're good at something, never do it for free", and SO MUCH MORE.

why do people have kids?

In today’s episode, I’m playing ✨devil’s advocate✨ on some of the reasons people have children. Of course, there’s a lot of projecting and everything I say is based on my worldview (but maybe some things are fact, not opinion 😆). So stick around if you want to hear some potentially ✨problematic✨ takes.

prioritizing pleasure: instant gratification in a world of capitalism and social media
Putting yourself and pleasure first has never been harder, especially in the current rise and grind era. In this episode of Acting My Age, we talk about everything pleasure: what prioritizing pleasure looks like, the trope of 'nothing good comes easily' and how we often perform pleasure based on societal principles instead of ourselves.  connect with me on Instagram: @actingmyage.podcast
