| How to Live in Alignment with the Life You Actually Want with Shawn Moore | 17 Jun 2026 | 00:51:52 | |
What does it actually mean to live in alignment with what you want? And how does that change your life? In this episode, Olivia sits down with Shawn Moore, founder and CEO of COVE and a board member for Humanitarian Experience, to talk about health, happiness, purpose, and what it really looks like to build a life that feels true to you. Shawn shares key decisions he made that initially scared him, but ultimately led him to a more intentional way of living and helped him find more peace, love, and fulfillment than he expected. Together, Olivia and Shawn talk about why “alignment” is more than a buzzword, how to know what your soul is actually longing for, and why the scariest decisions are often the ones that lead to the most freedom. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, off-track, or tired of living in the same everyday rat race. It’s for anyone who feels like they’ve been measuring their life by someone else’s timeline and wondering why it doesn’t feel right. This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to start making choices that feel more honest, grounded, and aligned with the life you actually want. Sometimes the smallest changes lead to the biggest differences. In this episode, you’ll learn:

| Why Trying New Things Is the Point of Your 20s with Rylee Thompson | 10 Jun 2026 | 00:42:05 | |
In this episode ofTwenty Something, Olivia sits down with Rylee Thompson to talk about why your 20s are not about having everything figured out. They’re about trying, changing your mind, following your curiosity, and becoming confident enough to trust your own timeline. Rylee shares how moving to a new state, pursuing her career, content creation, health and wellness, and deepening her faith have helped her build a life that feels more aligned, exciting, and true to her. Olivia and Rylee also talk about mental health, comparison, dating in your 20s, setting boundaries, learning to spend time alone, and what it actually looks like to become the version of yourself you keep picturing in your head. This episode is for anyone who feels behind, stuck, scared to start over, or unsure if they’re allowed to change their mind. Rylee’s reminder is simple: nothing is permanent, and changing your mind does not mean you failed, it might be the thing that helps you become who you were meant to be.

| Hope for the Highest: What If It Actually Worked Out? with Blake Barney | 14 Apr 2026 | 01:03:12 | |
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:
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 | 07 Apr 2026 | 01:07:04 | |
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:

| What If You’re Not Behind? With Hank Smith | 31 Mar 2026 | 00:48:58 | |
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:
You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. And you’re not doing this wrong. In this episode, we talk about:

| Why So Many Men Feel Burnt Out (But Won’t Say They’re Sad) with Nate Johansen | 25 Mar 2026 | 01:00:42 | |
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:
Whether 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 | 17 Mar 2026 | 00:49:57 | |
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 | 10 Mar 2026 | 00:39:57 | |
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 | |||
| Feeling Stuck? How to Navigate Life’s In-Between Seasons with Taylor Church | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:59:42 | |
If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncertain, emotionally overwhelmed, or like life isn’t unfolding the way you thought it would by now, this conversation is for you. In this episode, Liv sits down with author and Of Stone and Clay podcast host Taylor Church to talk about what it actually means to navigate the “in-between” seasons of life, the moments when old versions of you no longer fit, but the next chapter hasn’t fully arrived yet. Together, they explore how to understand your emotions instead of fearing them, why so many of us feel behind in our 20s, and how learning to be present can completely change the way you experience your life. This isn’t a conversation about fixing yourself or having everything figured out. It’s about learning how to live fully inside your life right now, even when you’re waiting for clarity, love, direction, or change. Because when you’re in a season of uncertainty, the last thing you need is pressure to reinvent your entire life. What you actually need are healthier ways to understand your feelings, trust your timing, and stop postponing happiness for some future version of yourself. By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a new perspective on emotions, relationships, and what it means to truly be present — along with practical ways to become more self-aware and grounded in your everyday life. You’ll learn: -Why sadness and uncertainty aren’t problems to fix -How to stop waiting for your life to start -The difference between dating and finding real love -How journaling helps you understand your emotions and beliefs -Why being present changes how you experience joy, relationships, and growth If you’ve ever felt like everyone else is moving forward while you’re still waiting for your next chapter, this episode will remind you that you’re not behind — you’re human. There’s nothing wrong with being in the middle of becoming. And sometimes, learning how to live fully right now is the very thing that moves your life forward.

| What Grief Taught Me with Bannon Greer | 24 Feb 2026 | 00:50:32 | |
Grief is something we think we understand — until it happens to us. In this episode, we’re talking about what it feels like when loss doesn’t just hurt, but changes you. Losing someone to suicide leaves behind more than sadness. It leaves shock. Questions that don’t have answers. Guilt you didn’t expect. A quiet realization that people can be carrying far more than we ever see. Bannon Greer shares about losing one of his closest friends and how that loss reshaped the way he moves through the world. How it shifted the way he sees conversations, friendships, and even ordinary days. And how it pushed him to become more intentional — to check in, to show up, to care more deliberately. We talk about the disorientation of grief. The way life keeps moving when yours feels paused. And how small acts of service — simple, consistent presence — can become part of healing. If you’ve ever felt blindsided by loss… If you’ve wrestled with questions that don’t have clean answers… If you’ve felt alone in your pain while everyone else carried on… This conversation is for you. If you or someone you know may be struggling, please know you are not alone.

| Permission to Pivot: Betting on Yourself with Andrew Marino | 17 Feb 2026 | 00:50:30 | |
What does it actually look like to bet on yourself? In this episode, I’m sitting down with entrepreneur Andrew Marino — founder of Royal Guard Co, sales leader, investor, and someone who has intentionally built a life that doesn’t follow a straight line. From working in corporate tech and closing millions in revenue, to launching his own all-natural personal care brand, to moving across cities, to even appearing on Hulu’s Are You My First, Andrew has consistently chosen growth over comfort. But this conversation isn’t about résumé highlights. It’s about the pivots. We talk about evolving in your 20s and 30s, outgrowing old versions of yourself, the hidden costs of ambition, dating while you’re still becoming, and how to know when it’s time to change direction. Andrew shares what it means to build a life on your own terms — and why the unconventional path often teaches you the most about who you really are. If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or unsure whether you’re allowed to change your mind… this episode is your permission. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to bet on yourself. | |||
| What It Really Takes to Build a Billion-Dollar Company and a Meaningful Life with Steven J. Lund | 10 Feb 2026 | 00:56:48 | |
What does it actually take to build a billion-dollar company and still build a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and whole? In this episode, I sit down with Steven J. Lund to talk about leadership, ambition, family, faith, and the quiet decisions that shape a life over time. Steven shares his journey from growing up in California to serving overseas, joining the military after a spiritual prompting, earning a law degree, and helping build Nu Skin into a global company, all while raising a family and staying rooted in his values. We talk honestly about what success really costs, how to take risks without losing yourself, what joy looks like in everyday life, and how to keep faith, purpose, and relationships from becoming sidelined along the way. Steven also opens up about grief, prayer, leadership, and what he’s learned about becoming who you’re meant to be, even when the path isn’t clear. Whether you’re ambitious, searching, rebuilding, or just trying to figure out how to live a meaningful life without burning out - this conversation is for you. | |||
| How to Build the Kind of Unshakeable Confidence No One Can Take From You With Eliza Smith | 03 Jun 2026 | 00:46:06 | |
Self-doubt will keep you waiting for permission that is never coming. She was cut late in her sport. Many said she couldn't do it. Then she ended up at her dream school. How did she do it? In this episode of Twenty Something, Olivia sits down with Eliza Smith, a D1 soccer player at the University of Utah, to talk about what it actually takes to build confidence, chase big goals, and become the kind of person who follows through. Eliza shares her journey from getting cut, switching teams, showing up to ID camps, advocating for herself, and eventually earning the opportunity to play college soccer. But this conversation goes far beyond sports. It is about discipline, pressure, identity, resilience, and learning how to bet on yourself before anyone else does. In this episode, you’ll hear about:
Whether you’re an athlete, a former athlete, or someone trying to build the confidence to go after something bigger, this episode will remind you that you do not need the perfect path to become who you are meant to be. Connect with Eliza: Connect with Olivia: | |||
| How to Create Lasting Happiness (Not Just Temporary Highs) with Abigail Ferrell | 03 Feb 2026 | 00:38:07 | |
In your 20s, happiness can feel fleeting, like something you’re constantly chasing but never quite holding onto. We get caught in a trap that it will come once we have the right job, relationship, routine, or sense of stability… but what if that’s not how happiness works at all? In this episode, I sit down with Abigail Ferrell, author of Happier Us, to unpack what truly creates lasting happiness and how to build it intentionally. We talk about the biggest misconceptions people have about happiness, why so many of us feel stuck or numb, and what science and faith surprisingly agree on when it comes to joy. Abigail shares practical, step-by-step tools for rewiring your brain for joy, including how your thoughts, words, and daily habits shape your emotional life more than you realize. We explore affirmations, gratitude, the role of community, and how to choose happiness without ignoring hard emotions or real struggles. This conversation is thoughtful, honest, and deeply grounding — especially if you’re in a season where life looks fine on the outside, but something feels off on the inside. If you’ve ever wondered why happiness feels harder than it should… this episode is for you. | |||
| The Relationship Skills That Shape Your Life with Jeffery Mann | 27 Jan 2026 | 00:45:05 | |
Relationships shape nearly every part of our lives: how we see ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we experience meaning and purpose. But most of us were never actually taught how to relate well. In this conversation, I sit down with Jeffrey Mann to talk about the core relationship skills that quietly shape everything else: self-awareness, emotional regulation, responsibility, boundaries, trust, and faith. We explore what it looks like to build a healthier relationship with yourself, how those inner patterns show up in friendships and family, and why our relationship with God often reflects the way we relate to ourselves and others. This episode isn’t about dating advice or quick fixes. It’s about the foundational skills that form who you’re becoming — and why learning to practice them can change the quality of your life, your relationships, and your sense of peace.

| Conversations We Don’t Have Enough With Our Friends with Corinne Wall and Kass Lewis | 20 Jan 2026 | 01:18:29 | |
This episode feels like those special, long, honest girl chats — the kind that usually happen late at night on the couch, in the car after dinner, or through voice notes that slowly turn into therapy sessions. Together, we talk about dating and relationships, confidence as a single person, what actually builds a strong marriage and partnership, femininity, friendship breakups, career pressure, motherhood, the “ick,” worst date stories, and the honest opinions we don’t always say out loud. We dive into the questions so many of us are quietly carrying: How do you stay hopeful in dating when it feels exhausting? What really builds confidence? How do you grow with your partner instead of apart? What makes a marriage last? How do friendships shift as you get older? And how do you navigate becoming softer, stronger, and more self-aware at the same time? This isn’t advice from experts — it’s real, unfiltered conversation between friends who are still figuring it out. From women who inspire me. Honest, funny, thoughtful, and comforting, this episode is a reminder that you’re not behind, you’re not strange for wondering these things, and you’re not alone in the season you’re in. These are the conversations we don’t have enough with our friends — but probably should. Connect with Corinne and Kass on Instagram @corinnecwall @kass_lewis21 | |||
| Longing for Love Isn’t a Flaw with Dr. Jenet Erickson | 13 Jan 2026 | 00:46:37 | |
What if the desire for love and connection isn’t something to fix but something to understand? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jenet Erickson to talk about why our longing for deep relationships is not a weakness or a failure, but a fundamental part of how we’re designed. From the earliest moments of life, we are wired for connection and that wiring doesn’t disappear just because relationships feel hard, delayed, or different than we expected. We talk about what it means to want love while still figuring yourself out, how to build meaningful relationships at any stage of life, and why feeling behind or unsure doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. Whether you’re single, dating, married, or simply trying to deepen the relationships you already have, with others or with yourself, this conversation is for you. If you’ve ever wondered why you want connection so deeply, or worried that your longing means you’re broken, this episode offers reassurance, clarity, and hope: there is good ahead, and you were always meant for love. | |||
| How to Actually Heal During Heartbreak with Cole Zesiger | 06 Jan 2026 | 01:14:01 | |
Maybe part of you still wants your ex back. Maybe you’re trying to move on, but you can’t imagine your life without them. Maybe you’re barely sleeping, barely eating, struggling to show up at work, or wondering how you’re supposed to function when the person you loved is suddenly gone. In this episode, I sit down with Cole Zesiger to talk about what you actually do when your heart is broken — not surface-level advice or quick fixes, but the real, uncomfortable work of healing while you’re still in it. We talk about why heartbreak takes over your thoughts, why missing someone can feel all-consuming, and how to begin moving forward and investing in yourself and your future, even when you don’t feel ready. Whether your goal is to save a relationship or finally let go, this conversation offers a clear, honest guide to healing a broken heart, rebuilding your life beyond the relationship, and finding real comfort, clarity, and hope. If you’re hurting and don’t know what comes next — if you’re wondering how to keep going when everything in you wants to hold on — this is where you begin.

| The Truth About Building Healthy Relationships with Zak Hazlett | 30 Dec 2025 | 01:02:13 | |
Building healthy relationships isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes growth brings old patterns, fears, and insecurities to the surface — especially when something in your life is actually going well. In this episode, I sit down with therapist Zach Hazlett (The Outdoor Therapist) to talk about the truth behind building healthy relationships. We explore why positive connections can feel challenging, how awareness often comes before ease, and why you don’t need to be fully “healed” to start showing up differently. We unpack boundaries, what they really are, how they protect your sense of self, and why honoring your needs doesn’t mean shutting people out. This conversation is about self-worth, responsibility, and learning how to grow without putting your life on hold. If you’re navigating change, learning to trust yourself, or trying to build healthier connections in your life, this episode is for you. It offers honest perspective without pressure, perfection, or quick fixes. Instagram - @the_outdoor_therapist | |||
| The Middle of Your Story - Wes Wright | 23 Dec 2025 | 00:44:09 | |
Everyone loves the beginning. Everyone celebrates the ending. Almost no one talks about the middle. The middle is where things feel unclear, delayed, unfinished — where prayers feel unanswered, timelines don’t make sense, and you’re doing your best to trust God without knowing how your story actually turns out. In this episode, I sit down with Wes Wright to talk honestly about what it’s like to live in the in-between. We talk about faith when clarity hasn’t come yet, trusting God when life doesn’t look the way you hoped it would, and learning how to stay steady when you’re still waiting on the thing you want most. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck, behind, or frustrated by the timing of their life — and needs permission to admit that the middle is hard… without believing it’s pointless. If you’re in the middle of your story right now, this one’s for you. | |||
| Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Forgets - Lauren Hatchett | 16 Dec 2025 | 00:50:53 | |
Do you ever wonder what your body is keeping score of? So many of us carry tension, anxiety, exhaustion, and trauma in our bodies without fully understanding where it’s coming from or how to manage the symptoms. We try to think our way out of it — and end up feeling even more frustrated when that doesn’t work. Or we don’t know where to start and just hope it will eventually “be fine.” Why does stress linger? Why do emotions feel stuck? Why does your body react before your mind can explain it — even when you’ve “moved on”? In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Hatchett, founder of Yoga With Lo and a trauma-informed yoga teacher who helps simplify trauma physiology and mental health in a way that actually makes sense. Lauren explains how trauma doesn’t just live in the mind — it shows up physically in the body. Certain muscles respond to specific emotions, and when those emotions aren’t processed, the body holds onto them. We talk about not only how this happens, but how to safely work those emotions out of the body. We discuss how trauma, stress, and emotion are stored in the nervous system, how the body learns to protect you, and why healing is most effective when it includes both mental and physical processing — this is the often-missing physical side of healing. Lauren breaks down: • how stress and trauma show up physically • why your body reacts before your thoughts do • what trauma-informed healing actually means • how movement supports emotional regulation • and how to work with your body instead of fighting it If you’ve ever felt like your body is trying to tell you something — but you don’t know how to listen — this conversation is for you. | |||
| Feeling Like God Is Silent? Brad Wilcox on Timing, Worth, and Trust | 09 Dec 2025 | 01:01:56 | |
If you’ve ever prayed your guts out and felt like heaven just… didn’t answer? Yeah. Same. This episode with Brad Wilcox is for anyone who’s felt frustrated, ignored, confused, or honestly just tired of trying so hard and feeling like nothing is shifting. We talk about:
It’s honest. It’s messy. It’s that “guys, I don’t get what God is doing with my life right now” conversation we all have in our heads but never say out loud. And Brad brings the kind of perspective that makes you feel seen, grounded, and reminded that: silence isn’t absence, waiting isn’t punishment, and God is doing more in your life than you think. If you’re in a season that feels slow, quiet, or unfair… this one’s for you. Let it sit with you. Let it breathe. Let it remind you you’re not alone. | |||
| Kade Peterson: The More Uncomfortable You Get, The Better Your Life Becomes | 02 Dec 2025 | 00:47:14 | |
Be honest—what have you been avoiding? The DM you won’t send, the room you won’t walk into, the idea you keep saying "I'll do tomorrow", the thing you keep “perfecting” instead of taking action? Kade Peterson hit that wall a few years ago and realized comfort was keeping him from growing into the person he wanted to be, so he broke his comfort zone—loudly, and on purpose. Today, Kade’s platform inspires millions to get comfortable being uncomfortable. We get real about what that actually looks like: having the hard conversation, showing up alone, taking the shot with shaky hands. We sort fear, insecurity, and plus simple ways to take action before you feel ready— and how stretching yourself builds the muscle to handle hard things. Kade also shares how saying yes to discomfort helped him build a business, grow a platform, and meet people he never would’ve reached otherwise. If you’re tired of playing small, this episode gives you clear steps to do the scary thing this week—without waiting for confidence to show up first. | |||
| What Happens When We Die? Near Death Experiences with Martin Tanner | 27 May 2026 | 01:17:50 | |
What happens after we die? And what can near death experiences teach us about the way we live now? In this episode of Twenty Something, Olivia sits down with Martin Tanner to discuss the stories, patterns, and life-changing lessons he has heard from interviewing more than 700 people about their near death experiences. Martin is the host of the Religion Today podcast and radio show on KSL, co-founder of Utah’s International Association for Near-Death Studies, and a longtime researcher of near death experiences. Together, Olivia and Martin explore the common threads Martin has heard across stories from people of different ages, backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures. From experiences with loved ones who have passed on, to life reviews, to encounters with divine love, these stories raise questions about purpose, healing, faith, and what may come next. Martin shares some of the most powerful near death experiences he has heard firsthand, including stories of people who came back with a deeper sense of urgency, a greater desire to love others, and a clearer understanding that their life still had meaning. Whether you fully believe in near death experiences, feel skeptical, or are simply curious, this conversation is an invitation to ask deeper questions about life, death, heaven, and why each life matters more than we may realize. In this episode, you’ll hear stories about:

In today’s episode, mogul skier and Olympian Nick Page pulls back the curtain on the mental habits that shape excellence — from navigating pressure and fear to staying grounded in the middle of a high-stakes season. Nick breaks down the systems he relies on every single day: preparation, confidence, recovery, positive comparison, sitting with fear, and the ability to stay sharp when it matters most. He walks us through what this season looks like, how he’s preparing for the 2026 Winter Olympics, what he wishes he knew earlier, the habits that changed everything, and how he handles the emotional weight of competing at the highest level. If you’ve ever wondered what separates good from extraordinary, this is your roadmap. Whether you’re chasing a dream, rebuilding your confidence, or trying to become the next version of yourself, this conversation is full of mindset shifts you can use right now. Nick shares the routines, disciplines, and internal beliefs that have helped him compete on the world stage — and how the same principles apply to your everyday life. If you’ve been needing a spark, a reset, or a reminder of what you’re capable of… this one’s for you. | |||

| How to Take Ownership of Your Health, Work, and Love with Lauren Dudley | 13 May 2026 | 00:48:39 | |
Do you ever leave the doctor’s office and think, “Wait, what did they just say?” Or sit in your car afterward realizing you forgot to ask the one question you actually needed answered? In this episode of Twenty Something, Liv sits down with Lauren Dudley for a conversation about what it looks like to take ownership of your health, your work, and your relationships, especially in your 20s when you’re suddenly expected to figure so much of it out on your own. Lauren is currently living what so many of us talk about but few actually do: betting on herself before she has it all figured out. She is helping build Shepard, a health care app designed to make doctor’s appointments less overwhelming by helping patients prepare better questions, understand what their doctor is saying, and feel more confident managing their own health. Together, Liv and Lauren talk about the frustration of not knowing what’s going on in your body, how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms or diagnoses, and why so many of us leave appointments wishing we had been more prepared. But this conversation goes beyond health. Lauren also shares what it was like to leave her job, build a business with her partner, navigate entrepreneurship in her early 20s, and create a relationship built on trust, communication, and shared vision. In this episode, you’ll learn: • How to feel more prepared before a doctor’s appointment • What to do when medical language feels confusing • Why advocating for your health matters, even when it feels intimidating • What it looks like to build a business in your 20s • How to bet on yourself without having it all figured out • Why abundance matters in dating, work, and life • How to put yourself in the way of luck This episode is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their health, embarrassed to ask a question, unsure what a doctor meant, or ready to stop living reactively and start taking ownership of their life.

| Why You Feel Behind in Your 20s (and What Actually Helps) | With Love, From Liv | 11 May 2026 | 00:22:51 | |
Dear Twenty Somethings, Welcome to the very first episode of With Love, From Liv !!! I’m honestly so excited to finally be doing this. Solo episodes have been on my heart for a long time, and I wanted this series to feel a little more personal. Like a conversation. Like a voice note from a friend. Just me, talking directly to you about the things you guys are asking. Things I think so many of us quietly carry in our twenties. (But also still bringing you science-backed tools into practical strategies for change.) And I can’t think of a better first episode than this one. Because if we’re being honest, I think a lot of us feel behind right now. Behind in dating. Behind in career. Behind financially. Behind emotionally. Behind spiritually. Behind in life. In this episode, I talk about:
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed watching everyone else move forward while you’re still figuring things out, join the club. This one's for you. That's what I hope With Love, From Liv will always be.. A space that feels personal. Honest. Comforting. Like we’re figuring life out together a little bit. So wherever you’re listening from, I’m really glad you’re here. This one’s yours. With love, Liv | |||
| Exploring Different Religions, Asking the Hard Questions, and Healing from Sexual Abuse with Logan Green | 06 May 2026 | 01:00:55 | |
In this episode of Twenty Something, we sit down with Logan Green for an honest conversation about faith, healing, shame, and what it looks like to ask yourself and God the hard questions. Sometimes, asking questions about your religion can feel scary. It can feel like doubting, betraying God, or stepping too far outside of what you’ve always known. But instead of avoiding those questions, Logan has taken a different approach. He has started asking them directly, exploring different churches and religious communities, studying what they believe, and trying to learn as much as he can from the ways other people worship and connect with God or a higher power. Logan also opens up about his experience healing from childhood sexual abuse, the religious guilt and confusion that followed, and how finally talking about what happened became part of his healing. Together, we talk about sitting in uncertainty, learning to feel safe again, finding common ground across different faiths, releasing shame, and creating enough stillness to hear what your body, soul, and God might be trying to tell you. In this episode, you’ll learn about:

| How to Make People Feel Seen (And Why It Changes Everything) with Brayden Black | 28 Apr 2026 | 00:51:38 | |
If you’ve ever walked into a party and immediately wanted to leave, overthought a first date, sat through an awkward work lunch, found yourself having the same surface-level conversations with people you’ve just met, or wondered why building meaningful relationships feels harder than it should—this episode is for you. Today, I’m joined by coach, mentor, and speaker Brayden Black for a conversation about connection, confidence, and the mindset shifts that can completely change how you show up in your relationships and your life. He shares three actionable frameworks that can immediately change the way you interact with other people. We dive into the common things people do that actually hurt connection, why making people feel seen matters so much more than trying to impress them, and the simple questions that can instantly create deeper conversations. Most importantly, we talk about why so many of us expect the worst in dating, friendships, careers, and life—and how that mindset may be holding us back more than we realize. Brayden shares his “gold medal mindset,” how to stop operating from a victim mentality, and why your response to life matters more than the circumstances you’re facing. In this episode, you’ll learn:
If connection feels hard right now—or life feels like it’s happening to you—I think this episode will really help. Connect with Brayden: Instagram: @_brayden.black Connect with Liv: Instagram: @twentysomething_podcast TikTok: @twentysomething_podcast YouTube: @TwentySomething-OliviaBurnett | |||
