Liz interviews stunt man, Drew Reade, about how how embarrassing it is to be an anomaly when you're making career choices. Growing up, Drew felt constant pressure when he looked at his peers and realized he wasn’t book smart. Wasn’t as wealthy. And wasn’t the college type. Initially, he hid his passion: show business. It felt unusual—but after realizing that it was OK not to be built for the corporate world, he began to excel and enjoy his unique life openly.

Laura interviews Woman on the Road, Amanda Kraley, about showing up for causes and relationships when you can't be physically present and why we should all give ourselves a little slack when it comes to making big decisions as new adults. In grappling with her own self-doubt, Amanda discovers there’s no “right” path to adulthood.

Liz interviews longtime friend and former classmate, Janice, about starting a business while struggling with debilitating health issues. Because Janice fixated on projecting an image of perfection, she never admitted weakness. When her life began falling apart, she felt terribly alone and ashamed. She sunk to a place so dark, she wasn’t sure how she’d bounce back. But she did. She opened up to others and found relief. Though still recovering, Janice has found strength in others and in her faith—the strength she needs to pursue her dreams.

Co-hosts Laura and Liz introduce the podcast by discussing what it means to be nakedly honest about the unexpected challenges of adulthood and why it’s so important to do so. Through sharing their own stories, Laura and Liz invite others to join in the conversation and recognize they are not alone in their struggles.
