Growing Upping with Style: The Chaos of Adulting in 2025
In this debut episode of 'Adulting AF,' hosts Jessica and Libby dive into the hilarious and chaotic realities of trying to adult. The conversation spans from common grammar mix-ups like 'affect' vs. 'effect' and 'accept' vs. 'except,' to Libby's terminal diagnosis, and their unconventional views on life skills. They touch on personal anecdotes about ADHD, the absurdity of social media, views on politics, and offer a humorous take on the struggles of being an adult in 2025. Despite the chaos, they aim to give life advice (though they rarely take it themselves) and emphasize that 'growing upping with style' is the best anyone can hope for.
