Twenties: Selfies, Standards and Self-Worth
In this heartfelt and transparent episode of Thee Real Joy Podcast, host Eboni sits down with Chloe, a 22-year-old navigating faith, purpose, and personal growth in her twenties. Chloe shares her journey of transformation—from leaving her job to focus on school and ministry, to confronting body image insecurities, social media pressures, and redefining what success means in this season of life.
Together, they dive into the silent struggles of young women, including the toxic “independent woman” narrative, generational misunderstandings, and the impact of curated online lives. With honesty and vulnerability, Chloe talks about friendship shifts after getting saved, learning to accept help, and how social media affected her self-esteem—and how she took her power back.
Whether you're a woman in your 20s trying to figure life out, or someone looking to understand this generation better, this episode will inspire, uplift, and ground you in real joy.
This is Chloe’s honest message to girls entering their 20s: embrace your own path, avoid comparison, and find joy in the journey.
