What We Wish We Knew in Our 20s

In this episode of The Long Game, we’re sharing the lessons we wish we knew in our 20s— from navigating career uncertainty and financial mistakes to building a family and finding our footing. If you’re in your 20s (or reflecting on that chapter), this episode is packed with insights to help you avoid common pitfalls and focus on what really matters. We use Seed’s DS-01 Daily Synbiotic probiotic for adults, and Poppy takes the pediatric version- use code BX25 for 25% off I use Manukora Honey because it’s 3rd-party tested pesticide-free and packed with nutrients from New Zealand. Use code BRITTANY for free honey sticks with your order! 📱Follow The Long Game on socials: The Long Game on IG - https://www.instagram.com/tlgpodcast/ The Long Game on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@longgamepod 🔔 Stay Connected: Don't forget to hit that like button and subscribe for more videos!
