Ep. 92 What are your non-negotiables? — how to twenty-something

In this episode of How to Twenty-Something, I’m diving into the power of non-negotiables—those personal standards that shape your decisions, relationships, career, and daily life. I break down how to identify your non-negotiables, why they matter, and how they evolve over time. Whether it’s dating, friendships, or your job, having clear boundaries keeps you aligned with what truly serves you. Your non-negotiables are a set of standards that protect you and help you grow into a fully functioning adult while living a life in balance for you.
