My name is Simone and I am trying to dig my way out of a quarter-life crisis. I've realised that burying my head in the sand (no matter how deep I go) doesn't actually help, but talking to people about their experiences, really does! Here on How to Adult i'll be talking to different people about their quarter-life journey's and hear some incredible stories along the way. I'm hoping that we can learn, laugh and get through this together! I mean, does anyone really know how to adult? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    How To Adult: Instagram vs Reality

    Part 2 of my conversation with Zac. This episode we talk about the reality of Instagram, specifically a trip we both took to Bali and how we discovered that in reality some of what we saw online was manufactured. Can we trust what we see on instagram, and should we be more transparent? As life after lockdown starts again it felt important I reminded myself that instagram is more often than not only a tiny glimpse of a much bigger picture which might not always be the real reality.  Hosted on Acast.

    How To Adult: During a Climate Crisis

    An open discussion about the effects we are having on our oceans and how this is contributing to a climate crisis. I talk this ep to George about our concerns, hopes and feelings for humanity and our planet. A start to more honest conversations surrounding the climate crisis, and quite frankly how helpless I feel, but hopeful for change and what we can all a do. A big thank you to George for being part of this discussion and sharing lots of pockets of wisdom! We also talk about moments in George's adulting life that he has become lost and his journey to overcoming this, which we love to hear on How To Adult!

    How To Adult: When You're Stuck Renting

    This episode I talk to Austin about how to make your rental house a home! For someone like myself that will probably have to rent for a long time, this is what I needed to hear! For the last several years I have lived in spaces that do not feel like my own and on occassion I’ve felt quite anxious to be in them. What I learnt most from speaking to Austin was that you don’t have to wish away years waiting to make a house you own a home. You can transform any space and make it our own, which can inevitably improve your mental health! We talk about the struggles of renting, strange landlords, trying to get on the property ladder, and Austin shares some tips on how to make your rental house feel like a home - all which I was pleasantly surprised were possible without spending a lot of money! (And landlord friendly!)  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    How To Adult: With Uncertainty

    This episode I talk to Rosh, who was brought up as an army child, due to his dad being in the army, which meant that he constantly moved around the world his whole childhood, and was never certain of his next destination or school. We talk about Rosh's experience growing up and ways in which he managed to deal with this uncertainty! Hopefully it can provide a little comfort and reassurance during this current uncertain time, I know it helped me! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    How To Adult: Without Uni

    This episode I talk to my friend from home Lucy, who is one of very few people who chose not to go to Uni in my year at sixthform form. Which blows my mind that so many people didn't make this choice! We talk about her experience straight into full time employment and answer questions like, did she miss out on anything? Is there a stigma attached to not going? What has she achieved since, and what are her thoughts on the decisions you make straight out of school? Hosted on Acast.

    How To Adult: Changing Career In Your 50's

    This episode I talk to my friend Sara about how, when and why she had a complete career change in her 50's! Sara has been such a huge part of how I came to realise that in my mid twenties I didn't need to panic about choosing a career path for the rest of my life, or about not yet reaching the one I wanted. In another 25 years I could completely change my career/ goals/ aspiration, and live a very different life! We talk about her childhood, working in McDonald's, having kids, to opening 7 restaurants in 7 years, and then leaving that all behind to start a new career in acting! Hosted on Acast.
