The transition from college students/recent grads into fully-fledged adults can be a scary one. How do we 'adult'? And how do we know that we're doing it right? In this podcast, my guests and I reflect on all things 'adult'- working life, navigating adult relationships, following our dreams, making mistakes, dealing with rejection, and a lot more. We're going to figure out who we are as newborn adults together, and I'm so excited to have you here with me!
