Episode Description:
Ever looked around and thought, “Wait... who let me be an adult?” You’re not alone. In this episode of The Honest Pause, Maryam and Teryl unpack the quiet truth no one talks about: we’re all just winging it.
Together, they explore:
- Why nobody actually has their life figured out (even the confident ones)
- How social media fuels the illusion of “having it all together”
- The real difference between confidence and competence
- What it looks like to live — and grow — without a map
You’ll also hear vulnerable moments, hilarious adulting fails, and mindset shifts to help you let go of the pressure to have it all planned. Because the secret is out: nobody knows exactly what they’re doing... and that’s okay.
If you’ve ever Googled “how to do taxes” while eating cereal for dinner or wondered how everyone else seems so sure — this episode is your gentle, funny, and deeply human permission slip to figure it out as you go.
