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?
Episodes
Leah joins us to talk about anticipatory grief, complicated parent relationships, and what happens when you know a major loss is coming but life keeps moving anyway. We get into caregiving, avoidance, dark humor, and the very human art of telling everyone you’re “fine” when you absolutely are not.
If you want to hear the story of Robin's mom putting the pot roast down the garbage disposal, check out these episodes:...
Layoffs. AI. Hiring freezes. It feels like everyone knows someone who's looking for work. Laura joins us to unpack what it's like trying to build a creative career when the ground keeps shifting beneath your feet, and how to stay hopeful when the future of work feels anything but certain.

For many LGBTQ folks, bars have long been more than bars. They've been community centers, meeting places, and a way to find our people. 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.
Make Robin &...
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?
Real talk, some swearing, a little hope. A...
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. What starts as a conversation about dating becomes something bigger about identity, confidence, aging, and learning to let yourself hope for connection.

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. Oliver joins us to talk about finding a rhythm, setting boundaries, and figuring out the difference between doing a good job and doing the absolute most. If you’ve ever struggled to relax without feeling guilty, this one’s for you.

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. Did she keep moving forward, fall into old patterns, or do something wildly unexpected? Tune in for a real-life update on what change actually looks like one year later.

Michelle is wildly accomplished...degrees, talent, receipts, and still terrified to put herself out there. We talk about perfectionism, invisible fears, and what actually happens if we take the risk anyway. If you’ve ever waited to feel “ready,” this one’s for you.

The Great YOU Plan is a flexible, forgiving way to project-manage your own life—work, family, wellness, creativity, all of it. In this episode, Robin and Steph revisit last year’s plans (including the parts that were completely forgotten), talk honestly about what worked and what didn’t, and explore how to build a plan for the year ahead with more intention and less pressure. Life coach Karen Kunkel Young joins to...
Producer Steph left Canada for NYC and immediately found herself drowning in a sea of financial jargon—401Ks, mutual funds, high-yield savings accounts… what does it all mean?! If you’ve ever felt lost in the world of personal finance, you’re not alone. We break demystify the money talk, and figure out how to feel good about our finances.
From dating over 35 and panicking about kids, to wanting separate bedrooms, to wondering if you’re the red flag on the apps, we brought in Lynn Harris (aka Breakup Girl) to help us sort it all out. We tackle listener questions about marriage, queer curiosity, settling vs. choosing, and how to take your time without wasting it. It’s honest, funny, and slightly chaotic. Just like love.
Here's a couple of resources we menti...
Today we chat… can I have it all without losing my mind? Between parenting, career, side hustles, and the ever-growing list of things we “should” be doing, Thomas is feeling the squeeze. We talk about overcommitment, the myth of productivity, and what it actually means to choose what matters.

In the final part of this series, we face the money side of death. Trusts, probate, and all the things we wish we didn't have to learn. We talk through what happens if you plan, what happens if you don’t, and how putting a few things in place now can spare the people you love a lot of confusion later. Finishing this conversation might be the kindest thing you do for your family.

We move from avoidance to action in part two of this series. This episode is about the emotional blocks that keep us from planning for death, the overwhelm that sets in once we start, and how to make it all feel less terrifying. Think spreadsheets, tough conversations, and the strange relief that comes from finally facing the unthinkable.
