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 Millennials face today. And did we mention it’s funny?

Rebekah thought she'd be somewhere else by now. After a layoff, she found herself in a job that doesn't pay enough, isn't fulfilling, and definitely wasn't part of the plan. We talk about surviving the in-between, getting honest about money, and making a plan to build a career that actually works for your life.

We’re talking wins, spectacular failures, accountability, and what actually helps when you know exactly what you shoul...

Robin's wife, Mary, is back! Last time we discovered she's... not exactly an optimist. So we're checking in to see if anything's changed. We talk about existential dread, Steph's big move back to Canada, and whether choosing joy is a mindset... or just caring a little less.

When Emily's father was diagnosed with a terminal illness, her life changed overnight. Instead of giving up, she became his caregiver and started a foundation supporting kids with cancer.

But what happens when every social plan seems to come with a drink in hand? Aadi joins us to talk about finding the line between social drinking and social habit, creating new ways to connect, and figuring out how to have a great night out without waking up wondering if it was worth it.

Drew and Alex from Into the Into the Mud podcast join to chat about what's making us anxious right now. We talk creative paralysis, career spirals, and the pressure to be perfect—whether it’s as a parent, an artist, or just a functioning human. Is anxiety something to fix, or something to live with? How do you know when it’s too much? And what, if anything, actually helps?

Teeny brings us a question about how open to be about your personal life. She’s in a polyamorous relationship and wants to share her weekend stories at work just like anyone else, without judgment, microaggressions, or having to launch into Polyamory 101 every time. We talk trust, boundaries, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways people shame what they don’t understand. Plus: how to decide who deserves the truth&mdash...
Comedian Julia Scotti joins us to talk about dating as an older trans woman, putting yourself out there, and the very human desire to feel wanted, beautiful, and seen.

Jobs are weird. Burnout is real. Politics are a dumpster fire. And suddenly a lot of us are asking the same question: what if life is actually better somewhere else? Carolyn Cohagan joins us to talk about leaving the US, retiring in France, and the very relatable fantasy of starting over somewhere with better bread and healthcare.
Post-college life hits… and suddenly no one’s telling you when to stop working.

We talk about weight, but rarely like this. Mordecai joins us to chat about what happened when she lost weight and the world suddenly treated her differently. Robin shares her own experience with GLP-1s and feeling “normal” around food for the first time. This is a conversation about perception, identity, and the emotional minefield of being seen.

You’ve got a good job. You like it. But you also have a creative thing on the side....and want to make more of that. Eteng joins us to unpack the tension between comfort and ambition, and the quiet fear that maybe we’re getting a little too cozy to go after what we actually want. We talk side hustles, security, and the reality that sometimes you don’t just dream big, you have to actually map it out.
Today we chat… getting your groove back. A year ago, Patty joined us to talk about letting go of what no longer served her — including certain people. Now she’s back.
