In 2025, “How to adult” is one of the most searched phrases on Google—and the questions people are asking reveal something deeper than just forgotten laundry tips. From “Is it normal to like stuffed animals as an adult?” to “Can you start ballet at 35?”, it’s clear we’re collectively rethinking what growing up really looks like.

In this episode, Krissy Vann and Laurie Joy Kingwell pull over to reflect on the winding road to adulthood and how societal expectations can steer us away from what we truly want. With real-life examples like Julia Child publishing her first cookbook at 50 and Burt Munro setting motorcycle speed records in his 60s, we bust the myth that there’s a right age—or route—for anything.

Whether you’re considering a late-in-life pivot or just tired of feeling like you missed a made-up deadline, this episode is your reminder that it’s never too late to shift gears. Because adulthood isn’t about hitting milestones—it’s about building a ride that actually feels like yours.
