Big update but if you’ve been following us since our last show, Teenager Therapy, you might have found it odd we didn’t just change the name and cover art of our last feed when starting GrownKid and instead chose to make a new channel, essentially starting from scratch.

It’s a long story but TLDR we didn’t have the rights to it. However, after a long legal battle, we were finally able to regain ownership of our feed and the audience we built over 5 years of publishing our last show. 

So here’s what this means for you. If you want to continue keeping up with new GrownKid episodes, you’ll have to follow the new grownkid feed. This one will be renamed to GK ARCHIVES, the cover art will change, and will no longer be updated after this. However, if you search up grownkid on spotify, you’ll easily be able to find our new home where we’ll continue publishing new episodes every thursday as usual. We’ll also leave a link in the description to make it easy for you to find us. 

Anyways, make sure you follow the new feed so you don’t miss our usual weekly episodes.

SEE YOU SOON FOR SEASON TWO!

what does it mean to "be authentic" during young adulthood? We talk with Trevi about her journey to sobriety, overcoming addiction, and the role vulnerability played in her healing process. we chat about fame, social growth, and queer dating, and explore how to find yourself in a world that often demands you be someone else. what better person to talk to about this than the literal icon that Trevi is.

this one is for everyone that knows the crushing guilt of going somewhere new or eating at a fancy restaurant and being heartbroken your parents have never experienced it. when classmates were talking about their lawyer or doctor parents, and feeling ashamed to say what your mom or dad did for a living, even if they were the hardest working people you knew. for those who carry the weight of their family with them everywhere they go. we chatted with Biyeni, a first-gen student, as well as Leo Gonzalez to hear about what it’s like growing up as a first generation American.
