Turning chapters, navigating change, dealing with loss, and learning how to move on — whatever you want to call it, that’s what this episode is about.
As Lauren and Lorin shared in the intro, they met in college and graduated in 2023. Since then, life’s been life-ing. One got married and bought a house. The other moved out on her own for the first time and started her career. Together, yet separately, they’ve been figuring out what it means to leave the college version of themselves behind.
No more lazy Tuesdays. No more overspending at TJ Maxx when you know you’ve got bills to pay. No more casually linking up with your best friends who used to live just down the street. And yeah, those might sound like small things — but they still matter. These shifts hit differently, and a lot of us in our 20s feel them.
So how do we navigate the little changes and the big ones? Because post-grad life comes fast. Like Lauren living alone for the first time — that was one of the scariest chapters she’s faced. And Lorin stepping into marriage — yeah, we all know that’s a journey, too.
So what have they learned? And what are they still figuring out?
