Well...Adjusting

by editaudio

Join author, actor, and funny lady Robin Hopkins as she helps guests manage stress, set some boundaries, find a new apartment, and save a dime or two. And that’s important because social security is probably gonna be gone by the time you get there. Robin’s disarming, connected, and forthcoming style allows her guests to open up about what’s really behind all that self-sabotaging. Well…Adjusting is not NPR. It’s not credentialed. But it is honest talk about real problems Millennials face today. And did we mention it’s funny?

I’m so into this podcast. As a therapist in training, I find the exploration of these topics really useful and approachable. It helps me frame very human issues in a new and productive way. Best part is it’s so funny!
