    Thank you!
    I came here to reiterate a few of the other podcast reviews. I love that this podcast takes time to go through what many of us didn’t have the privilege to learn as kids. I especially loved Nicole Stanley’s episode talking about money anxiety. This is something I have first-hand experience with and I really appreciated her insight on how to combat it. 10/10.
  • GoNoles13
    LOVE this podcast!
    I appreciate that this podcast takes the time to talk about things that many of us didn’t learn as kids. I especially loved the episode about money anxiety with the financial coach.
  • HeleneKusman
    Empowering and so needed!
    I am so glad to have discovered this show! The topics are empowering and so needed for myself and so many others
  • daylightfading22
    ICYMI episodes are awesome!
    Adulting is hard, and this podcast is so helpful! I especially like the ICYMI episodes for a quick dose of advice, inspiration, or strategy. 💙Julia Levine - Podcasting for Introverts
  • ItsEmRose
    Adulting is hard - this helps
    I so appreciate the topics covered in this podcast! Whether I'm listening to a shorter segment from a guest expert (which are great when I only have a few minutes) or a full length episode, there is so much value! A lot of what is discussed are things that we need to talk about more, but just don't. Loved the recent episode on the importance of making new friends as an adult!
  • Cara In America
    I feel like I’m hanging out with my best friend every week.
    I’ve found sooo much value following Gillian’s journey on TMHTA. Her vulnerability paired with the quality of her interviews has made me feel like I’ve hit a jackpot of content that’s both relatable and genuinely useful. Grateful to get to follow her journey and feel less alone in mine.
  • Jewel Hohman
    Real and Raw!
    Gillian gets straight to the point on the tough stuff that no one wants to talk about. She isn't afraid to hit the topic head on and unfiltered!
  • Vintage Beauty1014
    Great Podcast
    Adulting gets challenging at any age, Thanks
  • Ash736252729403
    Amazing!
    People always say that there isn't an instruction manual for life, well now there is! This podcast has such great tips and information for every adult who is bumbling their way through life!
  • Cassiecmc
    So helpful
    I love the variety of topics and all the amazing tidbits of info I get from this podcast!
  • Littlerinder

  • #nomoresurveys
    Best Podcast Ever!

  • pup two
    Amazing
    So many options and insightful episodes!!
  • ayybas522
    Such a fun way to learn to adult!
    These two cover great topics, have relatable and actionable tips, and somehow still manage to make me laugh every episode! ❤️
  • AN29!
    Relatable
    Podcasts feels so relatable to me. They talk about very important topics that play a huge role in my life. As a recent grad life has been so confusing- from finding a job, to not being so burnt out, to trying to balance so many things at once, and really trying to be mentally stable. They go over many topics that help me take different approaches and view things in different lights - instead of tunnel vision. Great podcast with great advice
  • Steve without a shirt
    Amazing
    Gillian is amazing. Sometimes when she talks it is as if she has the wisdom of a 50 year old, yet she’s obviously much younger.
