    Ivy Insights

    The Adulting podcast is a refreshing and informative show that I have been listening to since the beginning of the first quarantine/shutdown. I am truly grateful for the beautiful and reflective conversations that take place between Oenone and her guests. These discussions have provided me with much-needed insight, especially during such a challenging time. The true authenticity displayed in each episode is commendable, and it has made this podcast a go-to for me.

    One of the best aspects of The Adulting podcast is Oenone's openness to learning new ideas from her guests. This willingness to engage in thought-provoking conversations allows listeners like myself to gain new perspectives and think deeply about important topics. The conversations are well-crafted, interesting, and easy to listen to. Moreover, Oenone does an excellent job of addressing broad issues in an enjoyable and informative way.

    However, there is one aspect of the podcast that could be improved upon. It would be helpful if the details of the guests' social media were included in the show notes for easier access. This would make it more convenient for listeners to look up and follow the guests after hearing their insights on the show.

    In conclusion, The Adulting podcast is a fantastic listen that tackles relevant and important subjects with grace and intelligence. It has been a source of education and inspiration for me, surpassing what I learned in school on these matters. Oenone's ability to strike a balance between being informative and chatty is impressive, making each episode enjoyable for listeners. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking for thought-provoking content accompanied by meaningful conversations with diverse guests.

It took me a few goes (APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY), but hopefully this one sort of encapsulates just how transformative this podcast has been for me.
