Welcome to another episode of the podcast, where we get real about the many twists and turns of adulting. Today, we’re talking about one of the biggest milestones in early adulthood—moving out and learning to live on your own. It’s a moment filled with excitement, freedom, and a whole lot of uncertainty.
For this introspective conversation, I am joined by Aniruddh, who’s been living away from home for over 8 years across different cities and countries. We talk about what that transition was like at 18, how it shaped his sense of identity and independence, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with building a life from scratch—far from home, family, and everything familiar.
Tune in for an honest conversation about independence, belonging, and the moments that shape who we become.
