In this episode we talk about what we each define adulting as and when it dawned on us that we are adulting. Was it a light bulb moment? Did it happen bit by bit?
The Adulting Out Loud podcast brings together three ladies from very diverse backgrounds, talking about their experiences as certified adults.
Yunia Kazibwe (Top Right) is the founder of Adulting Out Loud. She is a wife, and mother to an amazing little girl. When she is not writing for the blog or recording for the podcast, Yunia loves spending lazy days with family, watching movies and catching up on a good series. Though she doesn’t currently have one, she loves cats.
Yunia prefers texting to phone calls, enjoys taking walks, and her favourite snack is popcorn. She often plays pranks on people, and only stops laughing to catch a breath.
Carolyne Kako (Left) has most people calling her Carol. Her professional interests and passion are in working with and for people. It is no surprise that she finds her career in human resource management.
She enjoys having deep conversations about life, getting to know people, their stories and the potential of who they can be.
She loves travelling, and interacting with different cultures and values. She also loves flowers and tea. Anytime is tea time in Carol’s world.
She aspires to have a transformative impact on the people she meets and serves.
Yvonne Edward (Bottom Right) is a wife, and an environment planner in her early thirties living and working Kenya.
Her hobbies include dancing, watching movies and travelling.
Yvonne sees the beauty of life in the color green and believes having a walk on the beach is therapeutic.
Besides becoming a mother and international civil servant, Yvonne hopes to one day have a center where she can increase awareness on, and compliance in environmental issues for local citizenry.
Join the trio every two weeks as they offer each other encouragement, inspiration and a good laugh. They hope to leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face everything adulting has in store for you. Thanks for listening!
A good topic…sent me many eons ago. As one of you said, that we adult in stages. We arrive into adulthood through a series of journeys. One day when most of our supports and props are gone or reduced, then we will know the buck stops with us and we are now adults.
Thank you Calota. I like what you say about one day the props being gone or reduced and it dawning on us that the buck stops with us. So true!
Hi ladies! This was a good conversation. I totally agree that it comes in phases. At one point I thought I had become an adult when I joined campus. A year later, when I had to leave the hostels, look for some place else and know how to maintain it on my own, I realized I was just beginning my adulthood life. I don’t know whether the feeling will ever end. But all in all, it’s been such an adventure!
Looking forward to the next podcast.
Thank you for listening Irine. Transitioning to living alone is such an adulting milestone! Indeed adulting is all one big adventure.
