Ashley and her guests share their life struggles and lessons they've learned along the way. From ordinary everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning, to major life milestones like buying your first home, the Adult Struggles podcast discusses finance, family, travel, personal growth, career challenges and more. As a 20-something herself, Ashley doesn't claim to be a life expert, but simply desires to help others and save them from the struggle of figuring things out by sharing her successes and failures.
AS 059: Financial Planning During an Economic Downturn
We’re talking about a struggle that plagues all of us…at some point - personal finance. How to save your money, build your net worth, and ride out the ebbs and flows of the economy. If you have tuned into other episodes, you may remember the recent episode with Mark Willis where we talked about the major problems with our current financial system, along with possible solutions to build our wealth. And today, we’re welcoming Amanda Neely, who has followed Mark’s guidance to not only help with her family’s finances, but also to create her own personal finance resource called Grandma’s Wealth Wisdom.
We're going to be discussing ways you can get on the path to financial growth with consideration of the current economic downturn. Learn about the strategies that would "make grandma proud!"
In this episode, we are covering many personal finance topics including:
-Financial planning for the uncontrollable ups and down of the economy
-The importance of teaching children about money and how to use it responsibly
-How the economic impact of COVID compares to the Great Recession (2007-2009)
-Strategies for recovering (or increasing) net worth
-The story behind Grandma's Wealth Wisdom and why we need to be more like Grandma with our money
...and more!

AS 058: First Time Mom Q&A
I’ve invited my good friend Johnna Farrell to share her advice for first time moms. As a mom of 3 (with a 4th on the way!) she’s figured out some parenting best practices over the past several years. In addition, Johnna and her husband Chris host a podcast called Grow Yourself, Grow Your Marriage, where they focus on various topics relating to relationship development. From one mom to another, this is First Time Mom Q&A! In this episode, we are covering many topics, from pregnancy to birth to baby, including:
* What were the biggest changes that you did not anticipate as a first time mom?
* Handling unsolicited advice on parenting
* Birth plan or go with the flow?
* Johnna's 4 pieces of advice for first time moms
* What baby items are overhyped and unnecessary?
* Traveling and date nights after baby

AS 057: Safe Travels After Quarantine
We’re welcoming back the very first guest of the podcast…Bailey Smith! Since we last spoke with Bailey about her time living overseas in Europe for 2 years, she has been settling back in to her life in Oregon and most recently founded her own travel planning service called Indie Travel Design. Not only does she help people plan their getaways, honeymoons, baby moons, and more, but she also is very passionate about working with nonprofits and other organizations to ensure their mission trips go off without a hitch.
Bailey lives and breathes travel, so I wanted to get her take on the effects the pandemic has had on the industry, and what travel may look like in the future. Keep in mind, no one can know exactly how things will change, but she’s dug up some interesting trends and facts that could give us an idea of what’s to come. We’re going to cover passenger precautions, the potential of a new health enforcement agency, travel restrictions, and the overall economic impact. Think you’re ready to pack your bags and jump on the next flight out of here? This episode may help you figure that out, now…let’s get to adulting!
