Episode description

This week we’re confronting a slightly alarming realisation: somehow, we’re the adults now.

At some point the responsibility baton got passed to us — mortgages, children, bills, life decisions — and yet neither of us remembers receiving the training manual. In this episode, we unpack the quiet suspicion that many of us share: do any adults actually know what they’re doing, or are we all just confidently improvising?

From pretending we understand finances and parenting strategies to nodding along in serious conversations while internally panicking, we talk about the strange reality of “adulting” and the fine art of faking it until you make it.

If you’ve ever signed an important document while secretly hoping it wasn’t a terrible mistake, or looked around a room and thought, surely someone more qualified should be in charge, this episode is for you.

Join us as we laugh our way through the chaos of adulthood and ask the question we’re all quietly thinking:

Who exactly decided we were responsible enough to be in charge? 😅


P.S.: Directly after recording this episode, Jo found out that she does actually have a will 😂 Just another document that her husband had her sign shortly having their first child. Winning!
