Still waiting for the moment you finally feel like a “real” adult? Same. In this episode of Andi & Mich, your two favorite caffeinated sisters take on the ultimate con: adulthood. We’re talking about why so many of us are out here paying bills, making “responsible” choices, and still secretly feeling like three kids stacked in a trench coat pretending to run a life. We get into: What actually counts as being an adult: Is it milestones like a job, marriage, kids, and a 401(k)… or is it mindset, emotional growth, and taking care of more than just yourself?The hidden emotional toll of always being responsible—especially for eldest daughters, caregivers, and women who “grew up” way too early.How seriousness gets confused with being “professional” (and how that sucks the joy, creativity, and humanity out of us).Why inner child work, humor, and play are not childish at all—but actually key to staying mentally well and resilient in adulthood.Career pivots, changing your mind, and rejecting the lie that you have to pick one path at 18 and stick with it forever.The pressure to “grow up” fast, kids being pushed out of childhood, and what happens when joy gets decluttered out of our lives.We also play a quick-fire game of “You Know You’re an Adult When…” featuring: Costco clothes, orthopedic shoes, going to bed at 7:30 on purpose, screaming along to early-2000s jams in the car, and getting way too excited about clean laundry and a good pillow. If you’ve ever felt: “I’m old enough to be in charge…but I still don’t feel like the adult in the room,” this one’s for you.🔑 Big message: Being an adult doesn’t mean abandoning your joy. It means protecting it, making room for it, and letting all your past versions sit at the table with you—inner child included. ✨ Listen if you’re into: Real talk about adulthood, funny “I’m too old for this” moments, inner child healing, mental health, boundaries, and giving fewer f*cks (with more intention and kindness).
