Today, Abby speaks with Lily Glaser and Katie Mae, two individuals who veered off the conventional path and chose to navigate adulthood on their own terms. They did not stick to the beaten track; instead, they ventured off onto the path less traveled.

This episode is all about careers, big dreams, the job hunt, and that whole headache. This episode topic felt so important when thinking about adulthood because to me, no matter how old I am, I don’t think I will truly feel like an adult unless I am financially independent, and have a full-time, big-girl career. I think that your job is the meat of what it means to be an adult.

Clara Falkowska, Ainsley Dean, and Madalyn Hay are my wonderful guests in this episode. They’ve each had their various struggles with the job hunt process- whether it’s the reality for so many that is sending in hundreds of job applications to no avail- and receiving no feedback- or choosing to sacrifice your childhood dreams by prioritizing your financial stability.

In the second half of our two-part series on adult relationships, Abby gets together with Brennan Vacek, Nyra Wise, and Adela Zhou to chat about all things romance. They dive into how adult relationships can sometimes feel like a whole new ballgame compared to the ones they've had before. But while adult relationships may be more future-focused and carry a sense of greater responsibility, does that necessarily have to be the case? The team also gets real about the pressure they’ve faced from friends and family when it comes to their relationship status. Finally, they wrap up their discussion with some goals for future relationships.

In this first part of a two-part episode on adult relationships, Abby invites Gabrielle Darisme and Isaiah Colmenero to consider how friendships transform as we become adults, and how friendships transform us as young adults...
