Summary
" I was knocking things off my to-do list and then I was like, wait, no this is like a really big deal... I need to make an entire list."
What happens when your relationship ends, your money runs out, and the only place left to go is back home?
It’s been six months since we last chatted with MidTiny, my daughter Kris, and she’s back with some big updates. The last time she was here, things in her life had fallen apart and she has spent the last 6 months rebuilding (and adulting) while living at home.
We're chatting about:
- Moving back home after a long-term breakup and what it’s really like to reset your life as a Gen Z adult
- Navigating burn out, depression, and emotional exhaustion after pushing through school, work, and a failing relationship
- Learning how to “adult” for real, including health insurance, medical care, credit cards, and financial independence
- Why so many young adults feel behind even when they’re doing everything right
- How small wins like getting medical care, building credit, and saving money actually matter
If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or embarrassed about starting over in your 20s… this chat will feel comfortably familiar. This chat is for Gen Z, for parents of Gen Z, and for anyone who has ever had to hit reset on their life and rebuild from scratch.
