Description

In this episode, the hosts get real about what it looks like to grow up, raise kids, and still try to have a life. They swap stories about New York nights out, messy family dynamics, and the emotional whiplash of moving from “I’ll figure it out later” to “I’m responsible for everyone.”

They unpack how hard it is to hold big dreams while juggling bills, kids, and mental health, and talk about the small rituals and boundaries that keep them sane. At its core, this is an honest conversation about becoming the adult you needed, without losing the parts of yourself that still want fun, freedom, and possibility.
