Welcome to season one of Teach Me How To Adult! We’re so excited that you’re joining us on our journey to be the best possible grown-ass people we can be. We are BFFs, work wives and podcast partners on a mission to help you crush it at adulting so you can live your best damn life. 

So, what’s it all about?

Teach Me How To Adult is a smart, unfiltered podcast on everything you never learned about growing up, from crushing your career and love life to balancing budgets and wellness. 

Trust us, we know what it's like trying to be the best version of yourself. We see you out there giving 110% to your job, saving up to buy a house (or a much-needed vacay), keeping up with your social calendar, and squeezing in the odd kale salad...all while trying to carve out some time for you. It’s a lot of pressure. We're trying to do it all too, and it’s so. damn. hard. 

That's why we created Teach Me How To Adult. We aspire to help millennials navigate the ups and downs of their 20s and 30s, teaching them the things they never learned in school (Investing! Taxes! Home ownership! Relationship goals! Taking control of your mental health! Networking! Fitness! Folding a fitted sheet!?). We’re by no means the experts, so we chat with the pros and hustlers who are crushing it in their field for legit advice and actionable tips. And we serve up #realtalk with open and honest convos about our own vulnerable experiences. So get ready to feel seriously seen and to level up your goals, habits and business game.
