This week on LIFE UNfiltered, we’re talking about something we can both totally relate to as moms with a combined five adult kids between us. It’s something that’s part serious and part almost silly but definitely worth talking about especially in these weird pandemic times… and it’s the concept of adulting.

Now for those of you who may not have ever heard the term, it’s actually been around for a while. And it means to do grown-up things that are normally expected of fully developed adults, like paying off a credit card bill or having a 9-5 job or picking up your dry cleaning. But we use the word in a way that’s almost like we’re praising someone for being able to do adult-like things. And why this is so relevant now is because so many of today’s young adults have lost their independence and their chance to be adults on their own because of the pandemic. And their skill sets are regressing. And that’s not good, which is why we’re taking some time to talk about it here on the air.

LIFE UNfiltered is something new. Something different. Something real and raw and relatable. It’s a talk show that celebrates the messy, perfectly imperfect parts of life. Every Sunday from 11:30AM until noon, show hosts author & syndicated columnist Lisa Sugarman and licensed psychotherapist Debra Gansenberg, MSW, LICSW talk about the everyday issues that are affecting them as moms, wives, working professionals, and friends. Gansenberg, the mom of three boys, and Sugarman, the mom of two daughters, take the theme from their latest book “How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It,” and apply it to every aspect of life from raising kids and marriage to work and self-care and everything in between. They talk, unfiltered, about all the stuff that’s keeping you up at night. And here’s the thing… they actually give you permission to make mistakes and drop some balls. And be ok with it.

Each week, Lisa and Debra focus on topics that affect all of us and have open, honest conversations about the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the moving parts that make up our day-to-day lives.

They incorporate a mix of clinical advice, stories, tips, proven strategies from the trenches AND the therapy couch, and a bunch of laughs, to help you find the magic within life’s screwups.
