My name is Simone and I am trying to dig my way out of a quarter-life crisis. I've realised that burying my head in the sand (no matter how deep I go) doesn't actually help, but talking to people about their experiences, really does!
Here on How to Adult i'll be talking to different people about their quarter-life journey's and hear some incredible stories along the way. I'm hoping that we can learn, laugh and get through this together! I mean, does anyone really know how to adult?

Part 2 of my conversation with Zac. This episode we talk about the reality of Instagram, specifically a trip we both took to Bali and how we discovered that in reality some of what we saw online was manufactured. Can we trust what we see on instagram, and should we be more transparent? As life after lockdown starts again it felt important I reminded myself that instagram is more often than not only a tiny glimpse of a much bigger picture which might not always be the real reality.

How To Adult: When You're Stuck Renting
This episode I talk to Austin about how to make your rental house a home! For someone like myself that will probably have to rent for a long time, this is what I needed to hear! For the last several years I have lived in spaces that do not feel like my own and on occassion I’ve felt quite anxious to be in them. What I learnt most from speaking to Austin was that you don’t have to wish away years waiting to make a house you own a home. You can transform any space and make it our own, which can inevitably improve your mental health! We talk about the struggles of renting, strange landlords, trying to get on the property ladder, and Austin shares some tips on how to make your rental house feel like a home - all which I was pleasantly surprised were possible without spending a lot of money! (And landlord friendly!)

Hopefully it can provide a little comfort and reassurance during this current uncertain time, I know it helped me!

How To Adult: Without Uni
This episode I talk to my friend from home Lucy, who is one of very few people who chose not to go to Uni in my year at sixthform form. Which blows my mind that so many people didn't make this choice! We talk about her experience straight into full time employment and answer questions like, did she miss out on anything? Is there a stigma attached to not going? What has she achieved since, and what are her thoughts on the decisions you make straight out of school?

How To Adult: Changing Career In Your 50's
This episode I talk to my friend Sara about how, when and why she had a complete career change in her 50's! Sara has been such a huge part of how I came to realise that in my mid twenties I didn't need to panic about choosing a career path for the rest of my life, or about not yet reaching the one I wanted. In another 25 years I could completely change my career/ goals/ aspiration, and live a very different life! We talk about her childhood, working in McDonald's, having kids, to opening 7 restaurants in 7 years, and then leaving that all behind to start a new career in acting!

How To Adult: After Uni
Leaving university was where my quarter-life crisis really began. I thought a great place to start getting over this, was to talk to my friends Sam and Lau about their experiences with life after uni. Did you leave university feeling just as lost, if not more, then before you went? because I certainly did.
