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.

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.
