Back to EpisodesWhy Trying New Things Is the Point of Your 20s with Rylee Thompson
Description
In this episode ofTwenty Something, Olivia sits down with Rylee Thompson to talk about why your 20s are not about having everything figured out. They’re about trying, changing your mind, following your curiosity, and becoming confident enough to trust your own timeline.
Rylee shares how moving to a new state, pursuing her career, content creation, health and wellness, and deepening her faith have helped her build a life that feels more aligned, exciting, and true to her. Olivia and Rylee also talk about mental health, comparison, dating in your 20s, setting boundaries, learning to spend time alone, and what it actually looks like to become the version of yourself you keep picturing in your head.
This episode is for anyone who feels behind, stuck, scared to start over, or unsure if they’re allowed to change their mind.
Rylee’s reminder is simple: nothing is permanent, and changing your mind does not mean you failed, it might be the thing that helps you become who you were meant to be.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- How to stop waiting until you feel “ready”
- Why trying new things is one of the most important parts of your 20s
- How to change your mind without feeling like you failed
- Why comparison can steal joy — and how to move through it
- How to develop healthy friendship and dating relationships
