How to Be a Grownup: A Humorous Guide for Moms, with CK & GK
How to Be a Grownup is a podcast for elder millennial moms who are still figuring out how to adult—and doing it with humor, honesty, and a lot of Googling.
Hosted by Caitlin, a former middle school teacher and current mom based in Texas, the show covers the grown-up topics nobody teaches you: ADHD strategies for women, product recommendations that actually matter (yes, we have opinions on dishwashers), home maintenance you can't ignore, civic engagement that fits your real life, and how to talk to your kids about difficult topics. Part-time co-hosts include longtime friend Jenny and novelist Ariella Monti.
This isn't a traditional parenting podcast—it's informational content for moms navigating the chaos of modern adulthood. You'll get practical frameworks, copy-paste templates, product reviews from real people (not influencers), and permission to figure it out as you go. Episodes might cover anything from managing political burnout to choosing the right air purifier to understanding your ADHD diagnosis in your 40s.
The tone is warm, direct, and funny. The goal is simple: give you the tools and information you need to handle grown-up life without pretending we have it all figured out.

Welcome to our 50th episode!
Y'all -- it's December and we, like most, are trying to do *all the things.* So, since we're busy and you're busy, we thought we'd keep it light and fun this week!
Caitlin got sucked into a Buzzfeed vortex and found this article about celebs that are related to one another and just HAD to share it with Jenny (and you, our listeners!). You probably already knew that Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Turner are sisters-in-law (thanks to the Jonas Brothers), but did you know that Mark Ronson is related to Meryl Streep? And that Lily Collins is related to Ted Danson? Yep!
Listen for details on these and more, and of course, we've got a hilarious circle time chat to kick off the fun.
Many thanks to Lauren Yapalater, Celebrity Editor at BuzzFeed, for her work creating this article. You can find it here.

Happy Holidays to all our listeners and friends -- we hope that your December is filled with love and joy.
