How to Be a Grownup: A Humorous Guide for Moms, with CK & GK
How to Be a Grownup is a podcast for elder millennial moms who are still figuring out how to adult—and doing it with humor, honesty, and a lot of Googling.
Hosted by Caitlin, a former middle school teacher and current mom based in Texas, the show covers the grown-up topics nobody teaches you: ADHD strategies for women, product recommendations that actually matter (yes, we have opinions on dishwashers), home maintenance you can't ignore, civic engagement that fits your real life, and how to talk to your kids about difficult topics. Part-time co-hosts include longtime friend Jenny and novelist Ariella Monti.
This isn't a traditional parenting podcast—it's informational content for moms navigating the chaos of modern adulthood. You'll get practical frameworks, copy-paste templates, product reviews from real people (not influencers), and permission to figure it out as you go. Episodes might cover anything from managing political burnout to choosing the right air purifier to understanding your ADHD diagnosis in your 40s.
The tone is warm, direct, and funny. The goal is simple: give you the tools and information you need to handle grown-up life without pretending we have it all figured out.

YOU NEED AN ORANGE TRACKSUIT WITH POLKA DOTS.
Okay, maybe you don't. But you DO need to hear our "PRIDE, part 2" discussion between Caitlin and Ariella. This one focused on sexual orientation and related labels, and we touched on gender-affirming care and the Equality Act. Of course, you get your circle time, complete with Jenny's son ensuring she doesn't break a gas station and Caitlin's obsession with magnets. (Just listen, you'll get it.)
During the month of June and every other month, CK and GK stand in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. Let us know if you need a mom-hug. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
