How it started
The Psychology of your 20s begun back in 2021 after our host, Jemma, went through her first real heartbreak and was looking for a guide to all the confusing and chaotic feelings she was experiencing. It wasn't just the break-up, there were so many other experiences she was having as a 20 something that she wished she had some explanation for.
​
And so, The Psychology of your 20s was born with our first ever episode, fittingly titled 'The Psychology of Imposter Syndrome' which remains our most downloaded episode to date.
How it started
​​The podcast set out to be a guidebook to the specific experiences of this decade: feeling behind in our careers, friendship breakups, working through childhood trauma, trying to redefine success, figure out what you want from a relationship. ​Each week we discuss the psychology behind key life experiences, mental phenomena, transitions and events that are universal for all 20-something year olds. From imposter syndrome, to the sting of a first break-up, loneliness, the myth of the dream job, healing our inner child, rejection and our true identity, subscribe to learn about what research and studies from every area of psychology have to say.
How it started
New episodes are released every Tuesday and Friday on Apple podcast and Spotify. We love listener feedback and episode suggestions so please drop us a line.
The Psychology of your 20s is hosted by Jemma Sbeg, a mental health advocate living in Sydney, Australia. Topics covered in our first four seasons include the psychology of break-ups, the 9-5, loneliness, shame, job hunting, situationships, career anxiety and we also have regular guests on who discuss their life transitions and what they've learned through the tumultuous times of our 20s.

“So much self help content is incorrect or unscientific these days. I love that Jemma actually provides the science and the psychology studies.”
