  1. Reciprocal Dating: Effort Goes Both Ways | Dating Series Pt. 2

    Reciprocal Dating: Effort Goes Both Ways | Dating Series Pt. 2

    In Part 2 of our dating series, we’re talking about dating etiquette for women — but not in a rulebook, old-school way. This is about effort, reciprocity, and how to show interest without losing your standards. We get into the small but meaningful things that show you actually like someone: returning effort, thoughtful gestures, bringing his favorite snack just because. Because if you see yourself as the prize, you still have to show up like someone worth choosing — not by over-giving, but by being engaged and intentional. We also talk about the balance between keeping your self-respect and participating in the connection. When does effort become over-effort? And how do you show warmth without doing all the emotional labor? Healthy dating isn’t about who can care less. It’s about mutual energy, mutual interest, and both people choosing to invest. If you’ve ever wondered how to show you care without overextending yourself, this episode breaks it down in a real, relatable way. This is Part 2 of our 3-part dating series, where we’re having real and honest conversations about how dating actually feels in adulthood.

    Are We Dating… or Just Passing Time? | Dating Series Pt. 1

    In Part 1 of our dating series, we’re talking about the difference between situationships and intentional dating and why so many modern relationships live in the blurry space between the two. We break down what situationships really look like, why they’re easy to fall into, and how dating with intention shifts the way you communicate, set expectations, and protect your time and energy. This episode isn’t about strict rules or timelines. It’s about getting honest with yourself about what you want and recognizing when “going with the flow” is actually keeping you stuck. If you’ve ever wondered, “What are we even doing?” this one’s for you. This is Part 1 of our 3-part dating series, where we’re having real and honest conversations about how dating actually feels in adulthood.

  3. You Are More Than Your Mistakes

    JAN 27

    You Are More Than Your Mistakes

    We’ve all been there — one mistake, one awkward moment, one bad decision, and suddenly that’s the story people love to tell about you. In this episode, we talk about what it’s like dealing with people who focus only on your flaws, your past, or the things you’ve done wrong — even when you’ve grown far beyond them. We share personal stories about how easy it is for a single moment to overshadow years of effort and progress, and how constantly hearing negative feedback can chip away at confidence and create self-doubt. We explore why it’s important to be able to laugh at your mistakes — but also why it’s just as important not to let them define who you are. This episode is a reminder that mistakes are part of being human — but they’re not the whole story. You are allowed to grow, change, and move forward.

    Life Doesn't Give Participation Trophies

    Participation trophies were meant to encourage kids — but somewhere along the way, the lesson may have gotten a little blurry. In this episode, we’re taking a lighthearted look at participation trophies, keeping score (or not), and what it really means to “do your best” as kids grow into adults. We talk about the difference between internal and external motivation, why effort matters, and how learning to win and lose plays a role in building confidence. From youth sports that don’t keep score to real-world realities like careers, and accountability, we explore how showing up is important — but growth comes from effort, resilience, and improvement.

  5. Is the 40-Hour Work Week Outdated?

    JAN 13

    Is the 40-Hour Work Week Outdated?

    The 40-hour work week has been the standard for decades — but does it actually make sense anymore? In this episode, we’re breaking down why the traditional work model feels harder than ever to sustain. We talk about how work has shifted from manufacturing-based jobs to service and information roles, how technology has blurred the line between work and rest, and why productivity doesn’t always match hours worked. We also look at how other countries are experimenting with four-day work weeks and flexible schedules — and what those changes say about the future of work. This episode isn’t about avoiding work — it’s about rethinking how we define productivity, balance, and a life that actually leaves room to live.

  6. Goals Without the Pressure

    JAN 6

    Goals Without the Pressure

    We all love the idea of setting goals — until the pressure kicks in. In this episode, we’re breaking down why traditional resolutions often don’t work and how to create goals that feel realistic, flexible, and actually doable. We talk about the power of language (why calling something a “goal” feels different than a “resolution”), how fun goals count just as much as serious ones, why learning how to set goals matters, and the importance of celebrating small milestones along the way. This conversation is about progress, not perfection — and reminding ourselves that growth doesn’t have to be stressful to be meaningful.

    Laughs & Lessons Behind the Mic: Year One

    Join us as we wrap up our very first year of Adulthood is a Project with a look back at everything this podcast has brought into our lives — the growth, the chaos, the tech fails, the unexpected wins, and the nonstop laughter that kept us going. In this episode, we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come: from learning microphones and recording in different states to finally sharing a studio space and figuring out camera angles, lighting, and our flow. We talk about finding our voice, shifting from scripted episodes to key-point conversations, and how listener feedback helped shape the show into what it is today. And as we wrap up Season One, we’re sharing what’s ahead for Season Two: mini-series, deeper conversations, and plenty more laughs as we keep learning and growing right alongside you.

    What’s Really on Our Wishlist? Spoiler: Not What Google Says

    When you’re a kid, your wish list is full of toys and gadgets. As an adult? It gets… weirdly specific. 😂 In this episode, we’re talking about what actually makes it onto our wish lists these days — and surprise, it’s not whatever Google is trying to sell us. From wanting more time with the people we love, to practical (but oddly important) things like getting the campfire smell out of our clothes, to realizing that some things you really want can’t be added to a Prime wish list (looking at you, cooked dinners). It’s a light conversation about how adulthood changes what we value, what we want, and what really feels like a “treat” now.
