Summary
Got lost trying to “fake it till you make it” at 20? This honest review of “The Journey” shows how real self-empowerment works – from practical habits to mindset shifts that actually stick
The story
Real talk? At 20, I thought “empowering myself” meant faking it till I made it. Cue me buying a blazer I never wore and pretending I had my life together 😅
But here’s the thing – I just finished the first two chapters of “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21” and wow. Where was this when I was stress-eating ramen and trying to figure out adulting?
Instead of the usual “hustle culture” nonsense, it breaks down self-empowerment into stuff that actually works:
🧠 Self-education [but make it fun]
Not the boring kind – we’re talking TED Talks during lunch breaks and deep-diving into whatever makes you go “huh, that’s cool”
🔄 Mindset shifts that don’t feel fake
Like, instead of beating yourself up over that embarrassing thing from 2 years ago, you learn to be like “cool cool, lesson learned, moving on”
⏰ Real-life habits that stick
I started time-blocking EVERYTHING [yes, even Netflix time] and suddenly life felt… manageable?
The best part? It’s not about becoming some perfect #bossbabe version of yourself. It’s about feeling ready for whatever life throws at you. No blazer required 😉
Honestly? This book is like having a friend who’s figured their stuff out slip you their notes. And chapters 1-2? Pure gold. Trust me on this one 🙌
