Welcome to another ride on The Adulting Drive. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the romanticized yet gritty reality of living independently as a young adult. What does it really mean to “make it on your own”? Is moving out always the hallmark of independence? And what if you’re still with your parents but navigating adult life solo?

Through the story of a guest who has walked the path of financial and emotional independence, we confront the pressures, celebrate the wins, and talk survival tips in a world that equates independence with image.
