  • How To Adult: Instagram vs Reality
    Part 2 of my conversation with Zac. This episode we talk about the reality of Instagram, specifically a trip we both took to Bali and how we discovered that in reality some of what we saw online was manufactured. Can we trust what we see on instagram, and should we be more transparent? As life after lockdown starts again it felt important I reminded myself that instagram is more often than not only a tiny glimpse of a much bigger picture which might not always be the real reality.

  • How To Adult: When You're Stuck Renting
    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!

  • How To Adult: Without Uni
    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?

  • How To Adult: Changing Career In Your 50's
    This episode I talk to my friend Sara about how, when and why she had a complete career change in her 50's! Sara has been such a huge part of how I came to realise that in my mid twenties I didn't need to panic about choosing a career path for the rest of my life, or about not yet reaching the one I wanted. In another 25 years I could completely change my career/ goals/ aspiration, and live a very different life! We talk about her childhood, working in McDonald's, having kids, to opening 7 restaurants in 7 years, and then leaving that all behind to start a new career in acting!

  • How To Adult: A Discussion On The Education System
    The current education system in the uk is something I have been fascinated with for a long time. Is it outdated? What do we wish we had been taught in schools? Should all children be tested and taught the same? Could the curriculum be changed? A slightly different format this week as I explore these questions and a lot more with my guest Sam on this weeks episode.

My name is Simone and I am trying to dig my way out of a quarter-life crisis. I've realised that burying my head in the sand (no matter how deep I go) doesn't actually help, but talking to people…
