Your twenties are gone. The hangovers last two days now. And somewhere between the birthday candles and the quiet panic, you realize: you are supposed to be an adult. But you still feel like a child.
In this episode, I explore the strange, unsettling, and often unspoken experience of turning 30. It is not old. But it is no longer young. Friends are getting married, having babies, buying houses — or pretending to be happy on Instagram while secretly falling apart. You compare your timeline to everyone else's highlight reel. And you wonder: did I waste my twenties? Based on psychological research, cultural commentary, and honest reflections, this episode is for anyone who has ever looked at a birthday cake and felt not joy, but dread. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play — because turning 30 is not the end. It is just the first year you stop lying to yourself.
