“Society” puts so much pressure on young adults to magically be an “adult” by simply turning 18.
Avoid the trap!
The truth is, even those “adults” still do not have “it all together!”
You’ve definitely made many mistakes. But it’s all about your perspective. If you didn’t take a chance on yourself, you would never learn or discover what you like.
I’m Ms Niambi Ayanna, founder of 20s In Progress, young adulting peer coach, content creator, and author of The Easy Cleanse cookbook.
Learning how to navigate my 20s has been like a roller coaster: unique, thrilling, scary, and fun. Entering my 20s was confusing to process as I was still trying to manage unresolved teenage issues, figuring out who I wanted to become, and trying to meet “societal expectations” to be an “adult”.
From the outside looking in on social media, it looked like I was doing great! Behind the scenes, I was just as lost and feeling empty as anyone else on the journey.
Now in my late 20s, I have evolved into the most healed version of myself. The growth continues as I am progressing on this journey.
I spent over a decade of my life living in depression and sadness before entering my 20s. Little did I know, a hidden desire kept me here : genuine happiness.
At 21, I made one of the biggest decisions that altered the trajectory of my life for the better. I chose to let go of my depression.
Before that moment, I still struggled to process the pain of being bullied for a decade, experiencing isolation throughout boarding school, and managing debilitating anxiety.
Traveling abroad to a couple of countries during a gap year before college was supposed to be a moment of relief. Instead I continued living in my season of darkness and barely holding myself together. Without friends or people to confide in who understood me, I continued to feel like the same loser in high school.
Being at the ultimate low, my only option was to build myself up.
The choice was one thing, but I still had a lot (yearssss) of learning how to make happiness a lifestyle instead of efforting to feel joy. I started taking chances on myself like: creating more content on social media, trying to network, going back to school, and creating 20s In Progress.

Book Nook Club
You want to do the “right thing(s)” while navigating your 20s, but there are so many rules that you are trying to follow that are not aligned with your path. Maybe you are in a career you hate, still living at home, staying in unhealthy relationships, unsure how to set boundaries, efforting to be appropriate in certain settings.
You’re doing things that feel unnatural to your desired life by drowning in the noise of what “society” says is the “right” way to navigate this period. But deep down, you are reaching for a different life. A life that you’re in control of as a 20-something and well into the rest of your young adulting years.
You have started the process of doing self-introspection to idetify who you really are and are capable of becoming. While you have seen some growth in learning to give yourself grace on the journey, sometimes you feel completely alone.
You are capable of navigating young adulthood in solitude. However, you know the value of connecting with peers and others who understand the lonely journey of trying to live beyond “societal norms”.
You have started to set boundaries and feel comfortable choosing yourself instead of needing to consult outsiders (parents, friends, romantic partner).
Knowing the value of making decisions that contribute to your overall well-being is key when young adulting. However, sometimes it feels safer to default to communicating with your current society and listening to their stale advice – you’re human.
Having tools to deepen your trust in your ability to choose for you makes the difference. Also, the opportunity to share your journey in a neutral environment helps ignite your progress.

All ages are welcome (above 18) to join 20s In Progress. We believe that everyone is young adulting until the “oldest age.”
Perfect! I’m ready to get started. ➜
This is absolutely a safe space for everyone to ask questions, leave comments, and share young adulting moments! I (Ms Niambi Ayanna) usually get nervous in other groups to ask questions or comment because I am unsure of the climate. I created this platform to provide a warm space for young adultees in various walks of life!
Feel free to express yourself. Sometimes we need space to share unedited, unfiltered, and get out raw emotion. As long as you are respectful and only share about your journey.
If there is any negativity, the member will receive a warning. If issues persist with the same individual, they are removed from the platform. This is your safe space!
This is perfect! I’m excited to start this journey! ➜
Absolutely! This is self-paced “homework” that is a tool you can refer to as long as you would like on your young adulting journey. You can spend a few minutes on the worksheets or an hour, depending on your engagement with the content.
Please note: the more thoughtful you are filling in the homework, the more you get from the exercise. If you feel stuck, we will meet as a group for the mid-month pep talk. Also, feel free to ask questions and share your experience in the community!
I can definitely find time in my schedule. ➜
Life happens, so we will upload a recording of the live to view when convenient for you.
