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.

We are coming up on our 1-year pod-a-versary and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we're feeling especially thankful this year. So, we decided to take part in Jenny's annual tradition of saying what we're thankful for (spoiler: if you're a listener, you're on the list!).
Of course, we ARE a how-to show and we've shared some of our go-to Thanksgiving recipes in this week's blog post, but the rest of our show is dedicated to some of our favorite things that have happened around and to us in the last 12 months. If you're looking to cut the Thanksgiving tension around your table, maybe this activity will help all of the people you're eating your meal with remember why they like each other in the first place...?
We reflected on
- this podcast,
- our professional lives, and
- some personal things
we're thinking about this year.
Join us! And thanks for being one of our listeners. Happy early Thanksgiving!
The best support is a rating and a share.
Love,
