About preMature Adults

This podcast is meant to be a platform that provides people from all walks of life the opportunity to discuss their experiences, with the hope of encouraging and emphasizing the importance for listeners to be open and vulnerable with their families, friends, and significant others. This podcast was birthed out of the sense of ill-preparedness felt by many young adults beginning their journeys into adulthood. I hope that conversations had on this podcast will not only provide solace for young adults but hopefully offer useful perspectives on a wide array of common experiences.
