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?

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?
