Late Bloomers: Finding Your Path in a Youth-Obsessed World

It takes a long time to be able to counter that failure narrative that I'm not enough or I'm never going to be enough or I'm not worth.
Feeling like you’ve missed the boat because you didn’t hit life's milestones by a certain age? Bridget Phetasy and Jeren Montgomery get it. In this episode of 'Factory Settings', they tackle the pressure of being a 'late bloomer' in a society that glorifies youth. Bridget and Jeren share their own stories of early failures and self-doubt, and how they navigated through those tough times.
They highlight the unrealistic expectations placed on us to have everything figured out by 30 and the importance of taking responsibility for our own paths, regardless of past setbacks. They also delve into how addiction can seem like a shortcut to fulfillment but ultimately leaves you empty. Instead, they advocate for embracing imperfections and living in the present to build a truly satisfying life.
This episode is a candid look at overcoming the fear of missing out and finding your own way, no matter where you start.
