Twenty Something is a raw, honest community for people in their twenties (or anyone who still feels like they are). Here we overshare, laugh at our own chaos, and unpack what’s called the ‘defining decade’—all in an effort to set ourselves up for the future and build the lives we actually want. 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!

    Hope for the Highest: What If It Actually Worked Out? with Blake Barney

    There’s a version of your life you want. But if you’re honest, you probably don’t fully let yourself go there. Because hoping for it feels risky. If you really want it, and it doesn’t happen, that disappointment hits harder. So instead, you stay somewhere in the middle. You work hard, you show up, but you don’t fully expect things to work out. In this episode, I sit down with Blake Barney to talk about a phrase he lives by: “Hope for the highest.” And not in a cliché way—but in a way that actually changes how you think, act, and build your life. In this episode you'll learn: Why we default to expecting the worst (especially in our 20s)How your expectations quietly shape your actions and opportunitiesThe difference between measuring your life by outcomes vs. effortHow habits like vision boards, affirmations, and environment actually rewire your thinkingThe idea of co-creating your life with God, instead of waiting for clarity or confidence firstAnd how to keep going when nothing seems to be working (even when you feel behind)Blake also shares his experience working toward a goal for years with no visible progress—and what it taught him about consistency, identity, and trusting the process. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck between wanting more and being scared to fully believe it’s possible. Because maybe the shift isn’t doing more. It’s learning how to hope for the highest—and live like it’s possible.

    The 3 Shifts to Actually Stay Consistent with Your Health (Without Starting Over Every Monday) with Natalie Wilson

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly starting over with your health, this episode is for you. Because the problem usually isn’t that you don’t care. It’s that you’ve been taught to approach health in a way that isn’t sustainable. All-or-nothing routines. Extreme plans. Trying to become your “ideal self” overnight. And then when it doesn’t stick, you feel like you failed. In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Wilson - a fitness coach whose entire philosophy is built around sustainable health, realistic routines, and progress over perfection. But this conversation isn’t just about workouts. It’s about learning how to build consistency in a way that actually fits your life — and shifting your mindset so health becomes something that supports you, not something that overwhelms you. We talk about why most people struggle to stay consistent, what actually works long-term, and how to stop feeling like you’re constantly starting over. ✨ What you’ll learn: The 3 shifts that make healthy habits actually stickWhy motivation isn’t the thing you should rely onHow to build routines that fit your real life (not your ideal one)The biggest mistakes people make when trying to “get healthy”How to stop starting over every time you miss a dayWhy extremes and perfectionism are keeping you stuckHow to build a healthier relationship with your body and yourself💬 Connect with Liv: Instagram: @twentysomething_podcast TikTok: @twentysomething_podcast YouTube: @TwentySomething-OliviaBurnett 🤍 Connect with Natalie: Instagram: @natwilsonfitness App & Workouts: (insert her app link here)

    What If You’re Not Behind? With Hank Smith

    In your 20s, it can feel like you’re doing everything right… and still somehow falling behind. You’re working, trying to build a life you actually want, navigating relationships, figuring out your faith, and instead of clarity, you’re left with more questions. About God. About timing. About who you’re supposed to become. And if you’re honest, sometimes it feels like everyone else got the memo except you. In this episode, I sit down with Hank Smith - BYU professor and co-host of the Follow Him podcast - to talk about what’s actually going on underneath that feeling. Because what if the reason you feel disconnected from God isn’t because you’re doing something wrong? What if it’s because no one ever taught you what that relationship is supposed to feel like? We talk about spiritual disconnection, overthinking, feeling behind in life, and how to build a relationship with God that actually feels real; not forced, not performative, but personal. This episode is for anyone who: feels like their life doesn’t look how they thought it wouldis tired of feeling behindstruggles to feel close to Godor just wants something that feels honest and grounding You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. And you’re not doing this wrong. In this episode, we talk about: Why feeling “behind” might not mean what you think it doesWhat to do when you feel disconnected from GodThe gap between expectations vs. reality in your 20sHow to actually build a relationship with GodWhy your life still has purpose, even if it doesn’t look how you plannedIf this episode resonates with you, send it to someone who’s been feeling the same way.

    Why So Many Men Feel Burnt Out (But Won’t Say They’re Sad) with Nate Johansen

    Why do so many men feel exhausted, disconnected, and unfulfilled—but struggle to say they’re sad? In this episode of Twenty Something, Liv sits down with men’s coach Nate Johansen to unpack the emotional reality behind burnout—and why it’s often misunderstood. Because what if burnout isn’t just about doing too much… but about being disconnected from who you are? Nate shares why so many men are taught to suppress emotion, how that shows up as exhaustion, isolation, and disconnection, and why so many people feel stuck in lives that don’t fully feel like their own. If you’re a man, this episode will help you understand what you’re actually feeling—and why. And if you’re trying to better support the men in your life, this will give you a perspective you may have never considered. But this conversation is also about all of us. It’s about the quiet ways we ignore what we feel, the roles we step into without questioning, and what happens when we keep pushing through instead of slowing down. In this episode, we talk about: Why burnout might actually be emotional disconnectionThe difference between feeling “exhausted” and actually being depressedHow fear and shame shape the decisions we makeWhy avoiding your emotions keeps you stuckWhat it looks like to reconnect with yourselfWhether you’re trying to understand yourself—or someone you love—this episode will shift the way you see it all. Because maybe you don’t need to fix your life. Maybe you just need to reconnect with yourself.

    Navigating Grief, Love, and Life After Loss with Shay Martin

    In this episode, I sit down with Shay Martin for an honest and deeply human conversation about what it looks like to keep living after loss. At just 25 years old, Shay’s husband, Tanner, was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. What followed was years of navigating treatments, uncertainty, and learning how to hold onto hope while facing a reality neither of them expected so young. Along the way, Shay and Tanner shared their journey online, building a community of hundreds of thousands of people who followed their story, drawn to their honesty, their love, and the way they chose to keep living fully, even in the hardest circumstances. In 2025, Shay became a mother to their daughter, AmyLou. Just weeks later, Tanner passed away, leaving Shay to navigate grief, motherhood, and a completely reimagined life all at once. In this conversation, Shay opens up about what grief actually feels like beyond the moment of loss, how it changes over time, how joy and sadness can coexist, and what it means to carry love forward instead of feeling like you have to move on. We talk about what helps (and what doesn’t) when someone is grieving, how to support people in hard seasons, and how to keep becoming when life looks nothing like what you planned. Whether you’re navigating loss, heartbreak, or simply a season that didn’t turn out the way you hoped, this episode will meet you there.

    Health Is Wealth: Building a Fitness Brand with Annika Orozco

    Health Is Wealth: Building a Fitness Brand with Annika Orozco Behind every “overnight success” is years of quiet work no one sees. Starting something is hard, but sticking with it is harder. In this episode, Liv sits down with Annika Orozco, founder of Annika, a newly opened fitness studio and gym built around the belief that Health is Wealth. Just days after opening her doors, Annika shares what it really looked like to bring this vision to life: the risk, the pressure, the discipline, and the mindset it took to keep going when things felt uncertain. From losing over 75 pounds to building a business rooted in sustainable habits and real community, Annika opens up about the small decisions that changed everything. Liv and Annika talk about gym anxiety, beauty standards, imposter syndrome, and what it actually takes to create lasting confidence - not just physically, but mentally and professionally too. They also get into the business side of building something from the ground up: putting yourself out there, learning in rooms where you don’t feel qualified yet, staying consistent when no one is watching, and trusting that progress compounds over time. If you’ve been wanting to feel better, start something, or finally follow through on the goals you keep putting off, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. In this episode, you'll learn: • The small, sustainable habits that lead to real change •Gym anxiety, body image, and navigating beauty standards • Taking ownership of your health without shame • Building a business and brand from the ground up • Imposter syndrome, consistency, and doing it anyway Connect with Liv: Instagram: @twentysomething_podcast TikTok: @twentysomething_podcast YouTube: @TwentySomething-OliviaBurnett Visit Annika: Gym + Studio: https://www.annika.com/ Annika Memberships: https://www.annika.com/members Instagram: @annika.wellness @annika.orozco
