Being an adult: what does that actually mean? Is it paying taxes? Making your own doctor’s appointments? Owning a home? It's probably all of that stuff, but: what's the more important personal evolution stuff that makes us grownups-no matter if we're 21 or 65?
In this episode, Julie Lythcott-Haims, former Dean of freshmen and undergrad advising at Stanford and a best-selling author, walks Caitlin through it by way of a conversation about her book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult www.blinkist.c... [1].
Julie explains why the "checklist" for adulting-graduate college, get a job, get married, have kids, buy a house, retire-doesn't work anymore, the exciting thing that replaces it, and how a lot of the work of being an adult is becoming a safe place for one another.
Book recommended by Julie:
Bone Black: Memories of Girlhood by bell hooks
Books recommended by Caitlin
A General Theory of Love, by Thomas Lewis, Fari Amini and Richard Lannon
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, by Lindsay C. Gibson
