In this first part of a two-part episode, hosts Morgan and Stacey take a trip down memory lane, sharing personal stories and pivotal lessons from their 20s. From graduating college and stepping into the workforce during the 2008/09 recession, to navigating the myriad of “firsts” in adulthood, they reflect on the challenges and triumphs that shaped their early careers and lives.

Topics Discussed:

  • Graduating College and Career Beginnings: Morgan and Stacey discuss the excitement and uncertainty of starting their careers during a recession, and how those tough times taught them invaluable lessons in grit and determination.
  • Adulting “Firsts”: The hosts share candid stories about their first apartments, managing finances, dating, and creating budgets. They emphasize the importance of learning from these early stressors to avoid carrying them into later decades.
  • Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Reflecting on the continuous challenges faced by millennials, from layoffs to pandemics, Morgan and Stacey highlight the resilience they’ve built over the years.
  • Tips and Insights: While sharing their own experiences, the hosts offer practical tips and insights on how to navigate the ups and downs of your 20s and beyond. They also discuss how they’re still learning and trying new things, like launching this very podcast!

Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or beyond, this episode offers relatable (and funny) stories and valuable lessons on resilience and personal growth. Morgan and Stacey’s honest and witty reflections remind us all that it’s okay to still be figuring things out but the sooner the better.
