Today’s episode begins with some commiseration about all the little annoying things that come with being an adult. Anyone else dying to be a kid again? 

The main topic of this week is how to get out of a slump. If you’re feeling it - between winter blues and being burnt out by work - we can relate. Jess and Laura explain why it’s super normal to feel this way sometimes, and the signs you might be in a bit of a funk. 

They share examples of times when they’ve felt this way, and how they’ve successfully pulled themselves out of slumps in the past. This episode is for you if you’re feeling super over it right now. 

Finally, adulting moments this week include a tip about buying a new mattress and a suggestion to make grocery shopping easier.

Happy Monday and welcome back to Adultescence! This week's episode begins with a conversation about the TikTok trend about how to not "live for the weekends." Jess and Laura discuss the ways in which they make their weekdays more fun. 

The topic this week is how to develop and build good friendships with amazing people. Jess and Laura talk about why having healthy friendships is so important, and attempt to explain why we tend to keep "bad" friends who aren't adding any value to our lives. How can we break that habit? 

Then, your hosts go through green flags to look for in friends that signal they might be a good match for you in the long term. Making friends is a lifelong process - and we can all work on getting better at it! Adios, toxic pals. 

The episode concludes with adulting moments including a book rec (Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Nedra Tawwab Glover) and a reminder to ask for what you want.

Hey, you! Yes, you. Do you have a budget? Or do you "have" a budget (aka you created a spreadsheet once two years ago and haven't looked at it once since?). This episode is for you. 

Budgeting is traditionally a pretty boring topic, but it doesn't have to be. Having a budget doesn't mean you have to quit doing everything you love and stick to only the essentials for the rest of your life. In this episode, Jess and Laura talk about what a budget is, how to create one that actually works for your life, and explain why so many common budgeting tactics tend to fail. 

The two share tangible budgeting tips, from the perspectives of a reformed shopaholic and a spreadsheet-phobe. If we can get our budgets together, you can too!

Welcome back to another JUICY dating episode of Adultescence! Prepare for the takes to be piping hot in this episode, as we talk all about ghosting. 

What is ghosting? Is ghosting always bad? When does ceasing communication  become "ghosting?" When is ghosting someone better than just being honest? Why do people ghost? If you ghost someone, does that make you a horrible person? 

Jess and Laura break down the dating phenomenon, share their own experiences with being ghosts and getting ghosted, and reflect on how those things made them feel. They share some listener polls and responses, too. 

Adulting moments of the week include a thrifting tip and a solution to the gender wage gap.
