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.

Y'all -- the holidays have come and gone and we are STILL trying to do *all the things.* So, since we're busy and we're sure you are too, we thought we'd keep our "we read BuzzFeed" theme going for another week by bringing you *** the long-lost episode 51*** (ooooooh...) Full disclosure -- we recorded this episode in December 2022!
It's Jenny's turn to get sucked into the Buzzfeed vortex and she's taking a trip down memory lane with things that we did as kids that we probably can't do with our own kids. You know, like drinking from a hose and staying out until the street lights came on.
Listen to reminisce on these and more; as always, we've got a hilarious circle time chat to kick off the fun.
Many thanks to Alice Lahoda, staff writer at BuzzFeed, for her work creating this article. You can find it here.

Happy Holidays/New Year/whatever happens in January (Lunar New Year is coming!) to all our listeners and friends -- we hope that your holidays were filled with love and joy and that you're getting back into the swing of things. And hey, if you are, can you send some of that juju our way? Please and thank you.
