Kari talks with Adam Clark about the trouble with answering the question “What do you do?” and tying your identity to your work; worrying about not having value to add to the world; not having all the answers; fear of looking like a fool; and the importance of just showing up.

Hilary Nelson and Kari discuss being active in your community and its government, sympathy for city counselors, not being an a**hole, and why you should vote even if you haven’t done your homework.

City of Saskatoon

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.

Kari talks about the importance of self-care, how to recognize a personal crisis before it happens, what to do if it does happen, and how she shouldn’t be on your survival team.

About Grace in Small Things

Kari sits down with Todd Peters to talk about about his creative alternative adult life: SAHDing, not having a grand life-plan, being a self-taught professional musician, and balance in adult relationships. There’s a lot of laughing, which is normal for a conversation with Todd.

This week’s acknowledgement: Ashley Milne-Tyte, who runs a good podcast about women, the workplace, and success, and has been an inspiration to me as a podcaster.

Kari talks with Kate Daly about the Pill, IUDs, sponges, access to knowledge about your own body, sex ed, and bad birth control puns. We share pregnancy pics with fun back-stories and probably way TMI. Sorry not sorry.

So brown. Great hair. And a camel.

Frank Chimero ‐ There Go The Grown Ups

Contains the excellent Quote of the Episode, and also some bunk about how “grown-ups” are people who do things that Frank disapproves of and/or doesn’t do, and “adults” are things he does himself (a remarkable coincidence).

A (funny) medical history of birth control, with actual doctors instead of us fools.

Kari and her guest Garth Braithwaite talk all things food and being a grown-up: managing hangry-ness, marrying into food traditions, living with diabetes, LDS food guidelines, what we eat after our kids are in bed, and how to find a sushi mentor. Garth digs how Kari says “avocado.”

Kari talks with Sheena Greer about divorce, second weddings, the care and feeding of second marriages, blending families, and giving yourself gifts instead of treats. And how Sheena’s life goals include being a member of Run-DMC.

Economics

Kari and Jay Baron talk about comparing our adult lives to our parents, perpetual adolescence, what it’s like being a role model, and scratching undone things off the bucket list. We try really hard not to be a parenting podcast.

It’s only episode 2 and I’m already forgetting my structure! Forgot the Quote of the Episode (will have to catch that next time). And I forgot the Acknowledgement of the Episode; I’d like to thank Chris Enns; without his helpful pointers, this episode never would have been recorded.

Introducing Kari’s new podcast about adulthood. An overview of the themes and topics that future episodes will cover, and a call-out for people interested in joining in on a discussion. Most episodes will be less formal and scripted than this one.

…to be an American adult has always been to be a symbolic figure in someone else’s coming-of-age story. And that’s no way to live.

I guess we’re on iTunes now!
