Synopsis
Hey lady! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! A time when, hopefully, life is slowing down, and you can spend time reflecting on your year and your life. This time is a great opportunity to take stock of where you’ve been, how you’ve grown, and dream up where you’re going. And, the beautiful thing about life is that as adults we have the power of choice to determine our futures. Chances are that if you’re listening to this podcast you are an adult or advancing into adulthood and have real world obligations and responsibilities. That’s why this week, Terri and Dr. Dom spend some time breaking down what established adulthood is and how you can make the most of every single day!
Established adulthood is a concept popularized by Dr. Clare Mehta and it describes the intersection of multiple significant responsibilities like marriage, parenting, and caregiving for aging parents while advancing in one’s career. These are the markers of life that can define what life is and how you operate in it. Dr. Dom and Terri explore what that really means when you don’t quite always feel like that adult and what it means when you know, for sure, that you are that adult.
This fun episode offers perspective on how to embrace your adulthood and how to shift those good vibes into positive action for an even brighter, more fulfilling future as we head into 2025.
