The Weird Years is the podcast for anyone Googling "How to make life decisions" at 2AM. We thought we had time but life moved fast, the rulebook disappeared, and the next step feels like a big fat ?
Each week, Lydia (@lydsie) and a guest dive into the big, weird, and messy realities of career, relationships, health, identity and more. There's no sugarcoating, no perfect answers, but a lot of laughs—just real talk about figuring it out together.
