ILP: Adulting on Your Own Terms Pt 1

Lori Crawford explores the concept of "adulting" on the Improviding Life Podcast, emphasizing the need to redefine and personalize it. She critiques traditional views of adulting as miserable, isolating, and unsupportive, rooted in outdated and harmful structures like capitalism and patriarchy. Crawford shares her own experiences, highlighting the generational impact on her view of adulthood and the challenges of student loan debt. She encourages listeners to reflect on their inner parental voices, media influences, and to question whether they believe in the possibility of a fulfilling, joyful adult life. Crawford also promotes her one-on-one mentorship program aimed at helping individuals live their adult lives on their own terms.
