Adulting, Handling a Stressful Career & Creating a Flexible Life Plan
I’ve always been a fan of a good, soul searching, deep diving, heart spilling conversation. It’s like a sweaty workout for the soul. You leave refreshed and simultaneously tired and energized. These kinds of deep conversations were a huge driver behind starting this podcast. I love listening to shows that go deep and get real. I wanted to offer more of those conversations. I selfishly wanted the chance to talk to amazing people and ask them all my questions.
I also wanted the opportunity to capture conversations with people I already knew. Special people in my life, who I think we can all learn from. One of those special people is my big sister Nellie. She’s been my rock and my lighthouse for all my life. Guiding my actions and teaching me more than she knows. Today on the show I wanted to talk about one of our favorite topics: “How do you even Adult?”
During this call we talk about everything from feeling lost out of college, to feeling inadequate at a new job, to trying to make your Wednesdays as special as your Fridays, to giving yourself the permission to set boundaries and so much more. Grab your favorite iced coffee or matcha, plug in your earbuds and get walking, because this is a good one!
Lets learn how to make Wednesdays as special as Fridays
