On Growing
We are two gals discussing all things adulthood. Things we weren’t taught in school, that made you wonder ‘is anyone else going through the same thing? The same experiences? Having the same thoughts? How does one even become an adult?’ We talk college, moving out, relationships, puberty, sexism, travelling and So much more.These are our experiences of navigating adulthood, the highs and lows, and just generally trying to figure life out as we go. Through a collection of our own experiences, we answer the questions everyone seems to have about growing up and trying to find your place in the world, from a ‘been there, done that’ perspective.We are so excited for you to listen to our stories, have a laugh with us, and hopefully find something relatable in it all. We hope you enjoy! 🌱
