The Art Of Imperfect Adulting

Welcome to The Art of Imperfect Adulting, where we explore the beautiful mess of the real-life decisions that shape who we become. Because real life doesn"t come with an instruction manual, and most of our stories don"t fit neatly into highlight reels or cautionary tales. In a world dominated by picture-perfect social media posts and dramatic reality TV extremes, this show carves out a space for the rest of us. We are the everyday adults working to figure things out as we go. Each episode
