In this first episode of Life in Late 20s, I sit down with Kimutai from Kenya, now based in Germany, to talk about identity, societal pressures, and redefining success in our late 20s. We explore cultural expectations around career and marriage, the shift in perspective that comes with living abroad, and how slowing down “pole pole in Swahili”can help us find meaning beyond titles, timelines, and material wealth.

Intro
In the intro episode of Life in Late 20s, I open up to my audience about why I paused the podcast and what brought me back. I share how moving from India to Italy for my master’s changed my perspective on life, how adjusting to a new culture pushed me out of my comfort zone, and how a youth exchange program in France inspired me to overcome my fear of being judged. Surrounded by people who expressed themselves freely, I learned the importance of breaking barriers and living without hesitation. This episode is my way of telling you that the show is back, more personal and honest than before, with real conversations about the struggles, clarity, and growth we face in our late 20s.
Life in Late 20s is an unscripted podcast that dives into the real stories of people navigating one of the most defining stages of life. Through open conversations, we explore growth, identity, culture, and the everyday choices that shape who we are becoming. From moving abroad and adapting to new environments, to balancing tradition with modern life, each episode offers relatable insights into what it means to be in your late 20s today.
