Not Just a ‘Try Hard’: Breaking Free from the Pressure to Make Your 20s Perfect
You were told your 20s are supposed to be “the best years of your life”... so why do they feel so overwhelming, disappointing, and filled with pressure to perform?
In this episode of Unlock U with Dr. Shannan Crawford, meet Claire Gaither, Crawford Clinics’ “Gen Z counselor,” who gets what it’s like to scroll through highlight reels, hustle for approval, and wonder if you’re falling behind while trying so hard to get it right.
Claire opens up with the raw story of a young woman who tried to check all the boxes—perfect internship, gym routine, social life—but still felt anxious, exhausted, and unsure of who she really was. Sound familiar?
If you're an emerging adult trying to be somebody, Claire shares how to slow down, listen inward, and build a life that’s not about comparison—but about calling. Learn practical tools to stop performing, start aligning with your true self, and actually enjoy the messy, meaningful journey of becoming.
