Episode notes

We grew up believing that if we did everything “right,” like going to school, working hard, and following the steps, life would fall into place. But as millennials, many of us have realized the finish line keeps moving. From student loans and career shifts to questions about marriage, kids, and “success,” the expectations can feel overwhelming.

In this first episode of Notes on Being Human, Pam reflects on the gap between what we were promised and what life has actually delivered, and why it is time to start redefining success on our own terms.
