Trying to Adult

By: Adam Williams
  • Summary

  • Trying to Adult isn’t easy. Stay healthy, have a social life, build a career, and work hard (but not too hard), all while trying to find happiness - it’s a lot to juggle.


    In bi-weekly episodes, we unpack the overwhelm of adult life, from mastering the mundane and embracing the inevitable strain to achieving something insane, across topics like health, fitness, and business.


    Whether you’re seeking advice, inspiration, or just someone to relate to, you’ll find stories, insights, and practical advice to help navigate the complexities of adult life with more clarity, confidence and a lot less stress.

    Feb 23 2025

    • How to get clear on your ambitions and stop feeling lost
    • Goal-setting that actually works without overwhelming yourself
    • Building confidence in your career and making bold moves

    Feb 9 2025

    Social media is shaping an entire generation - but is it doing more harm than good? In this episode, I sit down with ****Elliot Bewick, host of The Next Generation Podcast, content creator, and videographer, to how social media is warping our perceptions of reality.


    Expect to learn

    • How the curated, polished lives of influencers are make effect you more than you think.
    • Whether social media use is a compulsive or addictive behaviour - and why both are damaging.
    • The battle between self-improvement culture and the rejection of toxic productivity -are we improving ourselves or just chasing another impossible worthless standard?


    If you’ve ever felt like social media is messing with you or that the self improvement industry can sometimes make you feel worse, then this episode is for you.

  • 009 Dean Reilly on Escaping the 9-5
    Jan 26 2025

    Today, you’ll hear a conversation I had with business owner and podcast host Dean Reilly. If you’re working a 9-5 job and asking yourself, “Is there more to life than this?” Or maybe you’re in a job you don’t love, but it’s not bad enough to leave. You’re doing just enough to get by, but not enough to feel fulfilled. If that sounds like you, then this episode is made for you.


    Dean was exactly like you a year ago. Through a series of events, he quit his 9-5 and built a property business that now generates £7-9k a month for only a few hours of work a week.


    You’ll hear about the concept of ‘work worth doing,’ why it’s time to take the leap to quit your 9-5, and how you can use your interests, skills, and experiences to replace your income and create a more fulfilling life.
