I am Chelsea Akibo-Betts and I will be having the candid adulting conversations you wish someone had with you. With 6 years in the game (feels like dog-aged years) I have some light to shed on many topics that oftentimes we come across through...EXPERIENCE. Experience is the best teacher, and it doesn't feel that way in the moment - but I believe we have them to help others. Did your dad or male figure in your life teach you what to do if you have a flat tire? or get into a car accident? That's even taking it too far because you can drive for a while without these things happening to you. What about the car buying process? Or shopping for car insurance? This is just an example but I'll be covering many experiences as adults we learned along the way. Although I have a degree, I found that the most useful and needed information isn't taught in schools - let alone the schooling we spend decades paying back. We're all students in this game called LIFE, and in order to do it with ease we need to seek out the most information we can get to master it. You can catch me on my podcast talking about things like the necessity of higher education, navigating 9-5 jobs, cultivating a hobby, managing finances and so much more. Welcome to Candid with Kibo.

Here KerriAnne and Chelsea discuss the challenges that come with being associated with being "the strong friend" and how it can put a strain on your mental health. Being the string friend is not always a bad thing, but at times being the strong friend can look like being weak for yourself.
