Who says you have to have it all figured out?

Why do so many women feel like there’s a deadline for figuring life out? Whether it’s marriage, kids, career, or success by 30, there’s a deep-rooted pressure to hit certain milestones “on time.” In this episode, we unpack the origin of that pressure—and ask if it still holds so much power in 2025.

Hosts Sami and Ami sit down with Danielle Mashuda, founder of Keystone Artist Connect and a total powerhouse in the music and events world, to explore the forces that have shaped women’s timelines—from historical gender roles and the myth of the “biological clock” to cultural narratives, family expectations, and shame around aging. Danielle shares her own path, the freedom she’s found in rejecting traditional expectations, and the clarity that comes when you stop doing what you should do and start doing what you want to do.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt behind, stuck, or like they missed some invisible deadline. (Spoiler alert: you didn’t.)
