Founder and host of the chart-topping podcast “The Psychology of your 20’s”, Jemma Sbeg has created a global space for young adults to reflect, feel, and grow. With over 50 million listens, her platform speaks to the emotional weight of navigating your twenties in a world that demands constant evolution.

What began as a solo project has grown into a movement offering space for honest reflection on anxiety, identity, comparison, and the quiet chaos of becoming.

Early in her life, Jemma received encouragement from her Year 11 health teacher, Sue — someone who made her feel seen, capable, and heard. That support planted a seed of confidence that has stayed with her, empowering her to use her voice and build a platform that now reaches millions.

In this conversation, Jemma explores the emotional landscape of being in your 20’s — unpacking mental health, the pressure to "have it all," social media, gender dynamics, feminism, and what it means to redefine success.

Jemma also talks about choosing to manage her company by designing a workplace that honors women’s needs, offering flexibility around menstrual cycles and unique leave options such as period leave and self-discovery leave. 

With her debut book Person in Progress, Jemma also invites us to reclaim rest, rethink ambition, and navigate this chapter of life with curiosity, compassion, and care.

I hope you’re feeling inspired, cause we’re rooting for you!

Love, Julie

My name is Julie Lou, and I find it absolutely magical when women support and uplift each other as allies. This is the magic I refer to with the title of my podcast, "The Female Effect."

Every other Thursday, I invite a woman into the studio who, in her own way, is making a difference for other women and using her voice and talents to make a positive impact on the world. 

I hope you feel inspired, because we're rooting for you!

With love,

Julie Lou
