Does anyone else remember their first real paycheck? Did you ask, "who is FICA, and why are they taking my money"?! Did the closest adult to you laugh and welcome you to "the real world"? No worries, I rolled my eyes too. Join me as I get to the bottom of the adulting tax and discuss legitimate ways to reduce the tax burden for those of us in this struggle together. My tax professional [and dad] demystifies the language of taxation and debunks all the tax advice offered by our coworkers, family members, friends, and social media.
Listen closely! Take notes! We’re all going to be good in this [adult]hood!

Today, I'm trying to holler at y'all and see what's popping your world. I want to know what adulting topics YOU'RE struggling with, so let's connect! I also added the unreleased convo with Dr. J on dating for a little "razzle dazzle" *Dr. J's voice*. This episode is sponsored by Sasha from Chloe_and_Sasha_Needajob who clearly contributes to this mortgage based on how she is raising her voice in my house while I'm recording. Microphone static made a cameo as well.

Today, we’re taking our eggs off the clock, and gaining the facts on fertility! Millennial women have postponed pregnancy for professional or other life pursuits. Deciding to have a baby later in life increases the likelihood of difficulties conceiving and is usually precluded by waiting too late to check on their own fertility health. Why struggle with navigating such a big topic on your own? Let’s talk this out together! Please note, this conversation will be focused on female fertility, but men, we won’t leave you hanging. Please see available resources below.

Welcome to all the successful adults out there struggling to do adult things! On our VERY FIRST episode of the Struggling Adult Podcast, we chat with a few friends of the show on their adventures in dating! We hit on topics like, "strangers with benefits" and "standards in hell"! Sit back as Dr. Jess, our professional adult, gets the view points from an array of amazing guests!
Listen as our host @drdaniellej connects with real life adults in the wild and discusses how, they too, are surviving the worst decision ever, becoming an adult (and throwing away the receipt). No matter how successful you may be, the #struggleisreal and #adultingishard Hopefully we can give our unprofessional advice, on how to thrive in these #adulthood streets.
PSA: If you or someone you know has suffered from adulting, you may be entitled to compensation (not from us though).
Catch us in these streets!
