The Quarter Life Happy Hour - podcast cover

The Quarter Life Happy Hour

So, what happens when half of your friends are getting married, having kids, and buying homes while the other half are hanging back at the club until 2am, scrolling through every dating app known to man? You discover that your 20’s and 30’s are just one big chaotic happy hour and you’re stuck in the middle. And from here, there’s only one thing to do – judge people! My name is Davita Jo and I’ve survived through my own quarter life crisis and turned it into a brand! Every week, I bring on a special guest in my life to discuss their struggles and success stories throughout their careers, relationships, and well-being in their mid-20’s. This life is a roller coaster so hang tight, take a shot, and most importantly- “act correct!” 
New episodes drop every Wednesday!
