I Couldn't Wait to Grow Up...Now I Don't Remember Why?
from Let's See How This Goes · host Lis Riley
In a moment of full blown high intensity adulting, I found myself wondering — when was the last time I didn’t have everything weighing on my shoulders? The answer? Childhood. Talk about irony. I spent years desperately wanting to grow up, and now with all this hands-on adult experience under my belt, I’m wondering why I was in such a rush.In this episode I get into the illusion of childhood — how the version we dreamed about didn’t exactly play out the way we planned. And one thing nobody warned us about? Dinner. Not just dinner as a meal, but dinner as a lifelong daily responsibility that just shows up every single day, forever, whether you’re ready or not. No one prepares you for it. And yet here we all are, figuring it out.Let’s see how this goes.
