Why Friendships Feel Like Work

Stories That Shaped Us: Favorite Books

What books have stayed with you long after you turned the last page? In this episode of Adulthood is a Project, we’re talking about the stories that shaped us, the authors we can’t stop reading, and the books we still think about years later. From childhood favorites to the things we’re reading now, we’re diving into books. We chat about getting completely hooked on an author (until they start feeling a little too predictable), whether the movie is ever actually better than the book, and how books can create unexpected connections with other people. We also talk about why reading might not be your thing yet… because maybe you just haven’t found your genre. Whether you’re a lifelong book lover, an occasional reader, or someone still trying to find the book that pulls you in, this episode is for you. #Books #BookLovers #ReadingCommunity #FavoriteBooks #Podcast #AdulthoodIsAProject Brands we recommend: Find The Good Brand - use the link below to shop their products. https://findthegoodbrand.com/?ref=adulthood [https://findthegoodbrand.com/?ref=adulthood] Use coupon code “ADULTHOOD10” at check out to receive 10% OFF Want to launch your own podcast or grow the one you have?

Why Friendships Feel Like Work

Adult friendships can feel complicated. Between work, kids, activities, texts, snaps, notifications, and trying to survive your own day-to-day life, keeping up with people can start to feel like another task on the to-do list. In this episode, we talk about friendships that survive months without talking, why some people need constant connection while others don’t, the pressure of always being reachable, and whether we’ve made friendship harder in the modern world. We also dive into the lost art of letter writing, overloaded schedules, and how every friendship seems to require something different. Maybe the friendship isn’t failing… Maybe adulthood just changed the rules. 🎙️ #Friendship #Relationships #AdultFriendships #Relatable Brands we recommend: Find The Good Brand - use the link below to shop their products. https://findthegoodbrand.com/?ref=adulthood [https://findthegoodbrand.com/?ref=adulthood] Use coupon code “ADULTHOOD10” at check out to receive 10% OFF Want to launch your own podcast or grow the one you have?

Postpartum: The Part No One Prepares You For

Postpartum is often talked about like it’s just depression… but it’s so much more than that In this episode, we open up about the parts of postpartum no one really prepares you for—the anxiety, the overthinking, the unexpected sadness, and the pressure to feel nothing but happiness after having a baby We talk about how postpartum is really another phase of pregnancy that doesn’t just end after birth, how your brain is literally rewired through the process, and how easy it is to miss the signs when you don’t even realize what you’re feeling isn’t “normal” We also get into the unspoken side of it—how some moms feel like they can’t talk about what they’re going through because they’re afraid it makes them a “bad mom,” and why it’s so important for partners, friends, and family to understand what to look for too This conversation is about giving yourself grace, talking about it more openly, and making sure no one feels alone in something so many people go through In honor of Mother’s Day, this one is for every mom navigating postpartum in their own way 💛 #AdulthoodIsAProject #Postpartum #MothersDay #MomLife #MentalHealth #Parenthood #RealTalk #Podcast Brands we recommend: Find The Good Brand - use the link below to shop their products. https://findthegoodbrand.com/?ref=adulthood [https://findthegoodbrand.com/?ref=adulthood] Use coupon code “ADULTHOOD10” at check out to receive 10% OFF Want to launch your own podcast or grow the one you have?

Salt, Lime and Life Lessons: Choosing Your Hard

Life isn’t about avoiding hard… it’s about choosing the right kind of hard. In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to “choose your hard” — from relationships that take effort, to big life decisions that look exciting on the outside but come with their own challenges behind the scenes. We talk about: * Why the lifestyle you want will always come with trade-offs * The reality of relationships — from tough conversations to those “I love you but don’t like you right now” moments * Getting out of your comfort zone (even when it’s really comfortable) * The danger of the “what if” game and how it can keep you stuck Because no matter what path you choose, there’s going to be hard. The real question is: are you choosing the one that actually leads somewhere? If you’ve ever questioned your choices, felt stuck, or wondered if the hard you’re dealing with is worth it… this one’s for you.
