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.

Hey, Parents, how are YOU holding up? We're not sure about you, but our kids are really making sure we stay on our toes this holiday season. You too?
This week, we're thrilled to welcome Kimball Lewis, CEO of EmpoweringParents.com to the show to talk about parenting for the average parent -- you know, YOU, the parent who wants to honor and validate your child's feelings without losing your, um, *sheet.*
Caitlin and Jenny talk about Deion Sanders and the University of Colorado and Spotify Wrapped 2022, and then get right to the good stuff with Kimball, like
- why kids act out,
- how to avoid those terrible fights about their responsibilities, and
- why it's so important to separate yourself from your child's negative behaviors.
