How To Adult

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!

This episode I talk to Katrina about moving to a place where she knew little to no one (11,617 miles away from home) and how she made friends, got a job and managed expectations, along with the reality of moving to an unfamiliar place.

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!) 

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!

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?

This episode I talk to comedy writer/performer Rachel Harper who I connected with on twitter! We talk about rejection, going viral and being on Ellen DeGeneres to grafting, drama schools, and generally what it is to be an adult!
