If You’re Feeling Behind in Life, Listen to This

Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. I am so excited you're here because today you and I are going to dig into a topic that has been on your mind. This topic is stressing you out. And I know this because you've been flooding the inbox at melrobins.com telling me that you feel like you're behind in life, as if there's some sort of invisible checklist that you're supposed to complete by a certain age. You know, if you're in your 20s, you're writing to me saying, I'm behind.

I I don't know what I want to do with my life. Or those of you in your 30s, you feel this pressure that by now you should have kids, you should have found the one, you should be buying a house. And I so relate to the feeling that you can have in your 40s, 50s, and 60s, that you've really screwed up your career, you didn't save enough money or you got a divorce or you've made so many mistakes and now. it's too late. It's even stressing you out if you're in your 70s and 80s, this sense that there's some perfect way you're supposed to go through life.

These boxes that you're supposed to be checking in your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, your 50s. And so today, I am so excited to talk to you about this because I have so much research to share with you. And this is research that is going to give you so much freedom and power. Hear me loud and clear. Being a 20-year-old today is not the same experience as it was even five years ago.
