The Exact Moment You Realise You're An Adult

Outlouders, we’ve unlocked an exclusive subscriber episode for your long weekend listening pleasure. You're welcome. Enjoy! When did you realise you were an adult? Not a specific age - but the moment you're suddenly the one who's supposed to know what to do. There's an essay doing the rounds arguing adults don't actually exist and we're all just winging it, some of us with better posture. So what actually defines an adult? Is it knowing the right thing to do or just being the one willing to do it, even when you'd rather not? And if nobody really has it figured out, what's the risk in admitting that out loud? Plus, Holly, Mia and Em on the exact moment each of them realised: oh, it's me. I'm the adult.
