Technically An Adult

Hey! It's Part 2 of Gym Stuff! This time we're talking about pet peeves and safety hazards. Pro-Tip - just don't talk to people at the gym. Maybe it's because we're introverts, but we're pretty sure no one likes this. The episode concludes with our (we actually didn't count, but we're gonna say ten?) commandments for the gym. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

It's almost Hot Girl Summer, and we're helping you get ready with this episode on going to the gym! Are you new to going to the gym or want to start going for the first time? Curious about what it's like to have a trainer or whether or not you can wear shorts to the gym? Did you know that there is a right type of shoe for the exercise that you want to do? Surprisingly, Ginny and Sidney had a lot to say on the topic, so this is part one. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

In this week's episode, Sidney, Kenzie, and Ginny all talk about their skincare routines and how they have changed since we initially talked about the topic. Tune in for: horror stories about retinol (and what to do if that happens), an updated list of our skincare products, how not to use a mask (if it's in your eyes or on your eyebrows, you're probably doing it wrong), plus some astonishingly good advice from Ginny regarding Biotin and it's effect on your thyroid. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

Kenzie remembers the name of Dollar Shave Club, she remembers yet ANOTHER box she has subscribed to (Wine Club!) and we talk about some lesser known boxes (with the exception of LootCrate) that you may or may not want to subscribe to - from Bone Box to Bagel Box. We also talk about why people like getting subscription boxes and have a small, unrelated tangent about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in particular. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

In this episode, Kenzie progressively remembers more boxes that she is or has been subscribed to. If you've wondered about someone's real life experience with Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, Planned Parenthood Direct, Dollar Shave Club, Shoe Dazzle, NuRX, and most especially FabFitFun, this is the episode for you. Plus if you ever wanted to hear (but not see) an unboxing... well, this episode has that too! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

It's time for part two, and then end, of this saga. All the best and worth things about the generations Boomer through Zoomer are laid bare by our hosts, Ginny, Kenzie, and Sidney. Bored and need a fun game to play with your friends? On the list of things that Gen Z has said are out (skinny jeans, side-parts, and laughing out loud emojis), each one of us has a different one we want to keep. Guess which one matches with who! Marking this one explicit because the "f" word makes an appearance. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

Have Baby Boomers had an influence on how Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z see themselves? Is Gen X really the forgotten generation? Why does everyone, including Millennials, hate Millennials? Why did people eat Tide Pods?! These questions and more are (kind of) answered in this first of a two-part series on the Generation Wars. Also, Kenzie's in this one. So, that's neat. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

Are you an Aunt, a Martha, or an Econo-Wife? What would you do if you were in a world like the one in A Handmaid's Tale? In this episode, Sidney and Ginny dive into what the show is about, its origins in real life events, and how to survive. They also, importantly, talk about how this could potentially happen in modern-day America, with some tips of how to avoid that scenario if we all work together. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

Super duper NSFW! No, really, this is definitely from a very positive - sex positive, body positive, and masturbation positive - perspective, BUT... you probably shouldn't be listening at work. No curses, but marking explicit because adults may want to listen before having their kiddos listen, although if you have not had the talk with them yet - this episode has some ideas that may help. Also, lots of information on where to get items to help you safely have sex for the first time if you don't know where to go or what to do. Also, also... Sidney and Ginny go off topic a lot this episode... so... it's a little longer than usual. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

What do The Hype House, a sick My Cousin Vinnie Reference, and the sea witch from The Little Mermaid (who is definitely called Esmerelda, not Ursula...we're pretty confident on that...) all have in common? Well, you can probably find them all on TikTok, but you can DEFINITELY find them all in this episode. Marked this one as "explicit" because MOM uses the "F" word a few times around the 46 minute mark. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

Sidney and Ginny have BOTH gotten their first dose of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. So... In this episode, they talk about their experiences with that, any side effects they had, and how they feel (emotionally) now that they've gotten that first dose. Also included in this episode - how to know when you're eligible, can you get Covid-19 from the vaccine, and can your employer penalize you for not getting the vaccine? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

Now that you've gotten your sleep taken care of - let's dive into the wide world of asking for days off to care for our own mental health! You know I've gotta give you a disclaimer, though: We want this episode to help normalize asking off for when you don't feel emotionally healthy, just as you would if you were physically unwell. We hope that you will feel empowered! But please know that the laws, regulations, and even individual policies surrounding time off for any reason vary from country to country, state to state, and company to company. Follow the rules, and the law when asking for time off, but don't feel bad for taking time off if you need it! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

What is "Romancing Yourself to Sleep"? And why does Sidney's therapist suggest we do it? Here's a hint... it's not what you think that it is. We finish up the topic of sleep, and Sidney and Mom share their chronotypes and tell you where you can find yours - plus a sweet little story from Ginny about what it was like to be pregnant and sleepy around a deep-voiced baby Sidney.

And we're back in 2021 - kicking off Season 2 with a two-parter on Sleep Hygiene. Mom and Sidney take over the reins of the show while Kenzie takes some time to focus on editing over hosting. In Part One we talk about what our sleep issues are, what things we do to help ourselves sleep, and the importance of mental health on sleep. Sounds like a snooze-fest (ha!), but it has its moments. Also, we learn in our Word of the Day that Mom thinks that the work "Ugly" starts with an "O!" --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

What are some of the most common mistakes in baking? What makes someone a better baker than someone else? Do you really have to follow all the directions in a recipe (and in order)? How might one set an entire tray of cookies on fire in their oven? Most of these questions, and more, are answered in this episode, where Mom and Sidney ask Kenzie for help in upping their baking games. Plus, Kenzie gives some tips on how to do well on Nailed It, if you're ever on that show (and, again, we are 100% not sponsored by Netflix...yet...

The Holidays and an global pandemic on a scale never seen before are both here, whether you like it or not. In this episode, we talk pros (no hugs) and cons (no hugs) of socially distanced holidays, tips we've used to make virtual get togethers feel more special, and we encourage you to use the excuse of the coronavirus and flu season like you never have before. No, your nosey in-laws don't need to see you. There's a pandemic on. Next year? Well, by then they'll already be used to not seeing you. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/technicallyanadult/support

I'm pretty sure we sing "Under The Sea" at some point in this one. We wonder if we should cancel Mom, and get stopped by the Universe before we maybe get cancelled ourselves.

WARNING! It goes without saying, but there will be talk about needles in this episode, so if you have a phobia, maybe skip this one. Sidney shares her experience with injectables and explains to Kenzie and Ginny that there are several different kinds. Kenzie talks about her fully unfounded fear of Botox and Ginny wonders if baddies have ever tried to harm people with Botulinum Toxin. Oh!

In this episode, we continue our personal accounts of voting with our favorite voting episodes, Sidney determines that she is a highly kidnap-able person, and we talk about making your vote count and what to do if you feel your vote is being suppressed.
