Adulting 101 starts here. I break down the decisions I've made (and the ones I'm still figuring out)...
So you have real context when it's your turn to decide. No fluff, no gatekeeping, no guru energy.

In 2025, I started sharing the behind-the-scenes of real adulting decisions I was making for my family — things like ditching traditional health insurance, finally getting a will, and figuring out where to actually put our savings.
I wasn't teaching or coaching. I was just sharing what I researched, what I chose, and why — the way you'd tell a friend over coffee.
What I didn't expect was how many people were quietly dealing with the same exact decisions and feeling stuck. Turns out, a lot of us are Googling the same things at midnight, drowning in comparison articles that don't actually help, and putting off decisions because we're afraid of getting it wrong.
So in 2026, I'm going deeper. More research, more honest breakdowns, more "here's who this is and isn't for." This blog is where all of that lives — and where being an adult gets a little less overwhelming, one decision at a time.
