Hey there, TFD’s Content & Production Manager, Alexa Claire here 👋🏾

I’ve been keeping an eye on the comments from our YT “Just Getting Good” series and I noticed a lot of agreement, especially with Glynnis’ episode, about, at times, feeling “behind” for not having made certain investments or money moves earlier.

After rewatching a (phenom) saved TikTok from @overcoming_overspending , I was inspired to say a little something about compassionately giving ourselves grace for not “optimizing” our twenties.

Bottom line: you were going through and figuring out a lot of shit!! Either about yourself or the world around you. You deserve to see that and express some compassion towards yourself, not double down on the narrative that you’re a failure. 🫂💗
