Well...Adjusting
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 Gen Z’ers and Millennials face today. And did we mention it’s funny?

This is an honest, powerful, and timely conversation about bravery, integrity, and the messy, human process of standing up anyway.
Musician and creator Will Anderson joins us to talk about grief, healing, and how losing his wife unexpectedly reshaped his life and art.
