Truth for your Twenties

Katie Bulmer and Shayna Webb describe themselves as the big sis energy you did not get at graduation, and after 219 episodes with a 4.8 star rating, their listeners clearly agree. Truth for your Twenties is a biweekly show that tackles the real questions young women face — dating, career calling, burnout, setting boundaries, and the general confusion of trying to adult when nobody handed you an instruction manual. Episodes are refreshingly short at 22 to 37 minutes each, which makes them perfect for a quick listen during a commute or lunch break. Katie brings the perspective of a mother and sorority speaker, while Shayna is a Gen Z woman herself with five younger sisters, so the generational mix keeps the advice grounded on both ends. They bring on expert guests regularly but keep the tone conversational — this is not a lecture series, it is more like getting advice from a friend who happens to have done the research. The show does incorporate a faith-based perspective, which gives it a specific flavor that will resonate with some listeners more than others. But the practical advice about handling your first real job, navigating friendships that are changing, managing expectations versus reality, and figuring out what you actually want from your twenties is broadly useful regardless of where you stand on the faith spectrum. Katie and Shayna are warm without being saccharine, direct without being harsh, and consistently thoughtful about the gap between the life you planned and the life you are actually living. It fills a unique niche for young women who want substance in a compact format.
