First of all I want to say Thank you to all of you Attempted Adults out there. As a small end of 2020 treat, in this quick episode I just recap what we accomplished in 2020, how we've grown through adversity and what's to come in 2021.

In this episode, we will be talking with cartoonist and creator of A Quick and Easy Guide to Sex & Disability, A.Andrews, and sex therapist Dr. Donna Oriowo about navigating sex and intimacy during the pandemic in our unique bodies, identities, sexual histories and traumas.

Dialogue with Transformation Coach Hayley J. Mckenzie and Executive Chef of Infusions Catering Damone Johnson about starting a new business as a young adult. We explore myths about entrepreneurship, some best practices and explore issues such as fear and impostor syndrome.

A dialogue with belonging experts and licensed clinicians: Ashleigh Hala and Jessica Gifford. For many of us, it is hard for us to feel like like we belong to something or know if we are making genuine connections with people or if we belong. Do people even like us? These feelings of ill-belonging can contribute to feeling alone and disconnected. We want to help address that, especially now during this time of high isolation. In this episode, we explore the loneliness epidemic in America and practical ways for young adults to become connected despite this time of isolation and disconnection. We also explore the difference between being alone and loneliness.

This episode explores the challenges and excitements of dating during the pandemic. Kris and her 4 guests Sophia Casten, Joseph Karanja and Ezra Miles Bristow discuss their own relationships and the lessons that they are learning about themselves through supporting their new or longer term partners in pandemic. It gets spicy so get ready!

We are back again with our three public health/college health experts Raphael Coleman, Leah Berkenwald and Janiene Peoples as we explore college reopening in pandemic. Part two delves into the struggles that community members might experience on campus and/or remotely, loneliness, and navigating difficult conversations. The episode will provide concrete tips on how to express your levels of comfort with community members on following public health guidance and how to healthily and compassionately express discomfort with someone transgressing the new rules. #togetherwecansurvive

Thriving through Pandemic features my pandemic resiliency pod. Four of my close BIPOC friends (Lanise Beavers, Samantha Pulley and Nishelli Ahmed) meet via zoom on a biweekly basis to catch up, and discuss a variety of topics: media, updates in the news, and dating, while also supporting each other's well-being and mental health. The topics for this episode are as follows: coping/thriving through pandemic, BIPOC Lived Trauma, chosen methods for supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement, and white allyship.
