Everything you wish you were taught about adulting in your 20s: investing, finding love and creating new homes (with Maddie Borge)

Time: 1:13:35
Hi friends, welcome back to the fourth episode of ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨ (another guest episode yayyy)
This is the tandem episode to last week's which was all about the pressure to do and be everything in your twenties. This podcast works in an alternating fashion where I first explore a topic alone and then I bring in a guest who is an expert on this theme just to kind of dig into it a bit further. Today I’m joined by someone who absolutely embodies seizing this chapter of life…
Maddie Borge is a Norwegian creator, now based in London for the last few years since university, who has been creating content online for almost 10 years. In the last few years she's seen huge success creating relatable lifestyle content as she navigates everything from studying for university exams, to flat hunting, to taking herself on inspiring solo adventures. Maddie is such an empowering force for young women wishing to take control of their finances, daring to take that solo trip and reminding us to not only dream big, but actually make it happen with practical tools.
In this episode, I open with a short guided meditation before digging into everything from the pressure we face to do and be everything in our twenties, how we can better prioritise our time and energy around our goals, Maddie’s best financial advice that she wishes everyone in their twenties knew and what brings her authentic daily joy from cultivating a sense of home to maintaining her sense of independence in romantic relationships.
I close the episode with my ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ and then we hear from one of you guys followed by intention setting for the week ahead. Grab a journal or open your notes app and join me as we ask ourselves…
What went well this week?
What am I proud of this week?
What is a little win that I can celebrate?
What is something that challenged me this week?
What is something I would change coming into next week?
Based on these reflections, choose a one word intention for your coming week.
I am so grateful that you’re here and I hope you love this episode, and if no one has told you today, you are enough. 💛

Description

Casual magic is about how we find beauty in the mundane everyday.
It's learning not to wait for joy at the end of our achievements, but to find contentment NOW in every single day of our lives.
It’s that first sip of herbal tea in the morning, a smile from a stranger, or the way the light comes into your bedroom. Noticing trains your brain to redefine joy.
Stay tuned for alternating episodes — one solo, and then a tandem ep where I bring on a guest to expand from a new angle.
I want to serve up my vulnerability to softly encourage you to do the same.
Welcome to this cosy corner! Jade x

So beautiful.

Jade is such a beautiful soul and radiates her kindness and warmth even through her voice. I’ve just listened to the whole episode and i completely had the experience you were intending Jade 💗 I felt safe, cosy and definitely felt a feeling I want to come back to. I loved how you explained things in such an accessible way whilst also including the neuroscience and explanations! Last year, I decided to leave my intensive drama school course for a year off as my body and mind were screaming at me to leave. This year has been one of healing, hard lessons and growth and as I embark on this healing journey I’m learning so much. I’m now a part of a self-healers community and have been actually feeling a difference in my life. I’m so proud of my growth and wanted to extend that to you too Jade, in all of your softness and ‘small’ wins and the ‘big’ wins like this podcast! I’m currently facing the decision on whether I want to return to my degree and now I have the tools to love myself through the confusion, it’s slowly getting easier. Sending you so much love, and congratulations on the launch of this beautiful podcast!!! Love Jess xxxx

The pocket of peace I needed today

I can’t believe I can now listen to one of my favourite calming YouTubers via podcast. I have followed Jade for around 5 years now and her content always brings me such peace. I can’t wait for more episodes. Congratulations Jade 🫶

Jade is an angel!

I met Jade many years ago at Summer in the City and I can confirm that she is just as lovely in person as she conveys herself online! This podcast encapsulates all of her magic, positivity and charm. A true inspiration to all.

Heartfelt, Intimate and Life-Changing.

Jade is my dream host. I love how this podcast inspires me to be more mindful and introspective. The atmosphere is so cosy. I can’t wait to listen every Sunday and absorb all the undoubtably valuable insights to come.
