The Art Of Imperfect Adulting

Welcome to The Art of Imperfect Adulting. This is a show where we explore the beautiful mess of real-life decisions that shape who we become. Real life doesn"t come with an instruction manual. Most of us make decisions without as much information or confidence as we"d like, and our stories don"t fit neatly into highlight reels or cautionary tales. In a world of picture-perfect posts and reality TV extremes, this show carves out space for everyday adults figuring things out as we go. Each episode
