Welcome to my party! I am celebrating 100 episodes of helping you learn How To Adult with a questions and answers session!
We are all on this adulting journey together, and I am not the only one with information to share.
In this episode, I want you to know that we are all striving, learning, overcoming, and achieving throughout our lives. Everyone is. You can never know it all.
But we live in a time where it is so easy to learn, teach and share, and I think that because of that we have the potential to self-actualize faster than ever before.
My whole platform is to make you feel okay about where you are right now and give you some information that might help you.
So over the last few weeks, I have been asking you, the audience, a few questions about where you are on your adulting journeys.

I asked four questions and got tons of answers about how to adult.

My Hot Take
I was asked to share my answers to these questions on how to adult:
What is the ONE adulting thing that you wished you had known before entering adulthood?
That student loans are something that can follow you around for a long time. It is easy money and it doesn’t feel like you spent anything. It feels free. But it is not! I wish I would have taken out the minimum amount, wish I would have known they were due soon after graduation and I wish I had a plan to start paying them back and paying them off as soon as possible.
What is ONE adulting thing you are struggling with right now?
Trying to reach a larger audience. I am very grateful for the impact I have made so far but I really want to reach as many people as I can. So I am trying to figure out the best and most focused way to do that.
What is a super useful adulting tip you can share with others?
I use the reminders app on my phone for everything. I have a grocery list, a to-do list, a list for the ideas I have for HOW TO LIFE, a reminders list, and a list of questions I want to ask my mentors about my business.
I also use the Google calendar app and put down all events and appointments I have on any given day. There are so many thoughts that go through my mind every day and I have a lot to do. Since I always have my phone on me, when I think of something I put it on a list right away. I am always surprised to discover how many things I would have forgotten about if I didn’t put them down.
What is an adulting accomplishment that you achieved in the last year that you are really proud of?
This 100th podcast episode, and how far I have come with HOW TO LIFE! When I began, I had zero knowledge of how to do any of this. Nothing. I think I have done a really good job so far. I am proud of myself. I am looking forward to getting bigger and better.

Resources and Special Things Mentioned in this Episode
I am going to be trying out a new Social Audio platform called Wisdom which is somewhat similar to a radio call-in program but it is on an app on your phone.
Essentially, I will be hosting a talk and if you catch me live, you can join the conversation and we can have a live chat about whatever the topic is that I am talking about.
I think it can be a really good way that we can interact directly!
