    SUBS: The Exact Moment You Realise You're An Adult

    When did you realise you were an adult? Not a specific age — but the moment you're suddenly the one who's supposed to know what to do. There's an essay doing the rounds arguing adults don't actually exist and we're all just winging it, some of us with better posture. So what actually defines an adult? Is it knowing the right thing to do or just being the one willing to do it, even when you'd rather not? And if nobody really has it figured out, what's the risk in admitting that out loud?  Plus, Holly, Mia and Em on the exact moment each of them realised: oh, it's me. I'm the adult.

    SUBS FREE TASTER: "Emma Grede Disease" & The Trap For Female Founders

    Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: "Emma Grede Disease" & The Trap For Female Founders There's finally a name for the "Emma Grede-ification" of female founders, and it's "Emma Grede Disease" — the expectation that women don't just run a business, they have to perform running one. Private jets. Book deals. A personal brand polished to a mirror shine.  Holly has a theory on who's actually earned that aesthetic — and who's skipping straight to the penthouse without building the fifteen years underneath it.
