Twenty Something is a raw, honest community for people in their twenties (or anyone who still feels like they are).

With a mix of real talk, expert advice, and dinner-chat energy, it’s for the dreamers, the overthinkers, the ones still paying off student loans while Googling ‘how to be an adult,’ and anyone who secretly wonders if they’ll ever make it to the dream life they’ve always imagined. Basically, it’s your group chat—but with a little more wisdom and a lot more honesty. Thanks for being here!

  Grief Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Have a Beautiful Life with Krista Jones

  Aug 19, 20261h 9m

  Life doesn't always go the way we thought it would. Sometimes it's losing someone we love. Sometimes it's heartbreak, a friendship ending, a diagnosis, a career change, or simply realizing the life we pictured for ourselves isn't the life we're living. Krista Jones learned that lesson earlier than most. She lost her dad to cancer when she was just seven years old, was raised in large part by her grandparents before eventually losing both of them, and at 19 watched her mom battle breast cancer. But this episode isn't only about grief. It's about what happens after life changes you. Olivia and Krista talk about how to keep moving forward when something happens that you never would have chosen, why hard experiences can make us desperate for control, how to stop living in fear of the next bad thing happening, and what it looks like to let joy back into your life without pretending the hard things didn't happen. They also talk about relationships, anxiety, therapy, faith, and trusting God when life feels unfair. Because grief isn't limited to death. We grieve people, relationships, dreams, seasons, expectations, and versions of our lives we thought we'd have. And maybe moving forward isn't about getting back to who you were before. Maybe it's learning that you can carry what happened to you and still build a really beautiful life.

  Becoming a Dad and a Widower on the Same Day with Aaron Martin

  Aug 12, 202655 min

  Aaron Martin never imagined he would leave the hospital with his newborn son, Parker, without his wife by his side. After what began as a normal Valentine’s Day turned into an emergency C-section, Aaron and his wife, Natalie, welcomed their baby boy into the world. Hours later, complications from internal bleeding took Natalie’s life, leaving Aaron to navigate becoming a new father and a widower on the same day. In this episode, Olivia and Aaron have an honest conversation about what grief actually looks like when the shock wears off and life keeps moving. Aaron shares the unexpected moments that bring grief rushing back, the complicated experience of finding joy while still deeply missing someone, and what he’s learning about raising Parker while keeping Natalie’s memory and legacy alive. They also talk about how to truly support someone who is grieving, why sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do is simply sit with someone in their pain, and why saying the name of the person they lost can be one of the greatest gifts you give them. This is a conversation about devastating loss, enduring love, fatherhood, faith, and learning to make room for grief and joy to exist at the same time.

  What Counterfeit Emotions Are And How They're Secretly Controlling Your Life with Curtis Morley

  Jul 30, 20261h 3m

  Do you ever feel like you're reacting in ways you don't fully understand? Like you keep falling into the same emotional patterns, making the same decisions, or feeling stuck but you can't figure out why? In this episode, Olivia sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and Counterfeit Emotions expert Curtis Morley to explore one of the most life-changing concepts we've ever discussed on Twenty Something: counterfeit emotions. Curtis explains that many of the emotions we experience every day aren't actually telling us the truth. Instead, they're counterfeit emotions that look and feel real but quietly keep us trapped in unhealthy patterns. Together, Olivia and Curtis unpack powerful counterfeit emotion pairs, including: Misery vs. Pain Shame vs. Guilt Anger vs. Advocacy Fear vs. Faith Resignation vs. Surrender Nice vs. Kind These emotion pairs reveal how our emotions shape our relationships, influence our healing, and impact the way we see ourselves. They also discuss why peace is the only emotion that cannot be counterfeited, and how learning to recognize these emotional patterns can completely change the way you navigate anxiety, conflict, and personal growth. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same emotional cycles or wished you understood yourself on a deeper level, this episode will give you a framework you'll never be able to unlearn.

  Strong Over Skinny: Building a Body That Supports the Life You Want with Lacey Bruschke

  Jul 21, 202658 min

  For years, women have been told that smaller is better. Smaller waist, smaller jeans, smaller number on the scale. But what if the goal was never to become the smallest version of yourself? What if the goal was to become strong enough to actually live the life you want? In this episode, Olivia and Lacey Bruschke talk about what it really means to build strength physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Lacey is a Registered Nurse, NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, founder of Obsidian® Fitness in Millcreek, Utah, and creator of the Obsidian® Slide Board. With 20 years of experience teaching group fitness and 15 years as a certified personal trainer, Lacey has helped women build strength in a way that is challenging, sustainable, and supportive of their bodies. She created the Obsidian® Slide Board after recognizing the need for a workout that was low impact, high intensity, and accessible for everyone from beginners to skilled athletes. This conversation is not about getting a six-pack, fitting into a certain size, or believing that skinny is wrong. It is about learning how to build a body that supports your life, your energy, your confidence, your nervous system, and your long-term happiness. Olivia and Lacey talk about why strength matters more than the scale, how to approach food and fitness without becoming overwhelmed, what women often misunderstand about lifting weights, how exercise can help regulate your nervous system, and why sustainable health has to be built around what actually works for you. They also discuss meal prep, macros, GLP-1s, hydration, sleep, body image, the pressure women feel to be both tiny and toned, and how to start caring for your body from a place of love instead of punishment. If you have ever felt stuck in the cycle of trying to look better instead of feel better, this episode is for you.
