“Adulting be like…” You can almost think of an unlimited number of possible phrases to add to this phrase, ranging from the mildly amusing to the terribly depressing. But if you’re a young adult, you would (for better or for worse) be very conscious of how difficult and interesting it is to emerge from the cocoon in these uncertain times. This is what creative entrepreneur and mindset coach Katina Mountanos beautifully captures in her book, On Adulting, which is addressed to Millennials and an increasing number of Gen-Z young adults who are now going out to the world on their own. Katina shares some of the thoughts she covered in the book as well as other reflections with Whitney Lauritsen and Jason Wrobel. She also talks briefly about the transformational work she is doing with her fiancé at Daydreamers.Love the show?

When Katina Mountanos, author of On Adulting, got to adulthood, she thought the whole purpose was to be happy 24/7, and she thought she was going to achieve all the things she set out to achieve. Katina and FinGym Trainer Sara Belhourari discuss why Millennials and Gen Z have been trained to seek happiness all the time. Katina suggests that people should instead, shift that mindset and 'become friends' with their feelings and recognize clues to understand what they want and what values they want to live by.  Shownotes: https://financialgym.com/financiallynakedpodcast/episode50

In this episode, we discuss how questioning everything can help us reconnect with who we really are and the life that will truly make us happy. Katina Mountanos is a renowned writer and creative entrepreneur who founded On Adulting, the viral blog and community in 2016 to help her fellow Millennials navigate adulthood in a mindful and happy way. Her work has been featured in Teen Vogue, Fast Company, HuffPost, Mindbodygreen, Elite Daily, and other publications. Katina graduated from NYU's Stern School of Business in 2014 and began her career in data analytics at Goldman Sachs. She quickly realized her deep desire for social impact, helping to formalize and lead Goldman's environmental sustainability work, moving into philanthropic consulting soon after. Katina's early career has largely focused on bending the rules for good – most recently, she co-founded a mental well-being startup called Daydreamers to redefine how we all spend our “free” time. Katina is currently pursuing her Master's in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University. She lives in Brooklyn – and around the world - with her fiancé, Dupi, and rescue pup, Wythe. In this episode, we discuss: ·      Why she started writing about the difficulties she was facing transitioning into adulthood after college, which eventually became her very popular blog, On Adulting. ·      How our upbringing and the people in our lives can impact the career options we define as successful. ·      How our definition of happiness and our strive for it can cause us to be unhappy. ·      The power of questioning everything so you can define your own terms for life and happiness. ·      How making changes in your life is a process, and you should move through the process at a pace that feels right to you. ·      The shift from looking to the external for answers on what you should do with your life and who you should be to listening to and trusting yourself. ·      The importance of identifying who you want to be, not just what you want to be. ·      Our tendency to negotiate our values to fit into certain societal boxes. ·      The impact growing up with technology and social media, as well as a different type of parenting has had on the Millennial generation. ·      And some small things we can do that will make big differences in our lives.

I felt good and began to build my mental awareness over time."

The First Phase As Katina observed those around her whom she was supposed to be learning from and modeling, she realized that most of them had settled on “good enough”.   They weren't passionate about their work.   They weren't passionate about life.   It's really easy to follow the rules and directions other people put on us.   When we realize that as humans we can break rules and make decisions for our own paths and thrive through our passions and serving others, our lives can be more fulfilling. When Katina realized this, she began the transition from her first phase of a career in data analytics to her second phase, entrepreneurship.   The Second Phase Katina created a blog, “On Adulting”.   Her goal was to live with passion and help others do the same.   She became a life coach and has a podcast to communicate her messages of living with passion and purpose.  Her most recent venture is “Daydreamers”.  Daydreamers is dedicated to helping humans find creative outlets that will help them live longer and happy lives, be more productive and have less stress.   It's time to put the devices down, connect with others and live life to the fullest. Finding the Joy Again Incorporating small aspects of life into your routine can help you live a more fulfilled life.   What made you happy when you were young and had no inhibitions?  Add those things back into your daily routine and see if your days don't have a little more joy and fulfillment.   Benefits of Creativity People are facing burnout and loneliness now more than ever.   Seventy percent of people who enter adulthood feel there is a creative gap between what they were feeling and believed they should be feeling in their everyday lives.  Creativity has a plethora of value for wellness and it's in our DVA.  It helps us live longer happier lives, is truly connected to our brain and heart health, boosts our immunity and decreases stress.   Creativity is what separates humans from every other being in the animal kingdom.  It isn't just the arts, but our ability to predict or imagine another future that doesn't exist right now.   This data comes from the book, “The Runaway Species” by Anthony Brant and David Engleman. The Data A study by Adobe, stated that productivity increases by 75% when employees are given time and space to be creative.   Another interesting aspect is the impact that creativity has on culture.   It helps people connect and build relationships.  Are you lonely? We are living in what is considered to be the loneliest society ever despite all of the technology and ways that we have to connect.  Almost all adults today say they only have one close friend.  This in and of itself has major health impacts.   When people engage in creativity, they are more engaged, more likely to be fulfilled, happier and more likely to connect with others on a deeper level.  More than 50% of people studied reported this.   As humans we need to be intentional on how we connect with others.  How to Find your Creativity Recognize that we are all creative.   Realize that things do not need to be perfect.  Unlearn the obsession that you have to create something beautiful for everyone else and just do things for fun, as hobbies.   Don't have outcomes tied to creativity.   Simply try and experiment.  Learn More About Katina and Connect with Her Katina Mountanos is the founder of On Adulting, a viral blog, and community of over 23,000 millennials who are figuring out how to navigate adulthood in a conscious, happy way (@onadulting).  She is an entrepreneur, writer, and mindset coach whose work has been featured on HuffPost, Fast Company, Teen Vogue, Elite Daily, Mindbodygreen, and others.

In this episode, I talk to Katina Mountanos, the founder of On Adulting, a viral blog and community of millennials who are figuring out how to navigate adulthood in a conscious, happy way.

We talk about mindfulness, conscious living, navigating internal versus external validation, and defining your happy lifestyle.

One of the most common complaints I hear from you is feeling annoyed with your hunger and your body’s cues to eat.   I first encourage you to begin my questioning why you feel that way.   Why is it that we find a body’s signal to us annoying? Desire to question it? Or straight up don’t listen to it?   Diet culture is the culprit. So let’s choose otherwise.   Honoring hunger isn’t “giving in”, it’s body respect! It’s self care! It’s listening to your body and one of the first steps to that mind body connection.   Learn more in this episode about primal hunger, hunger and fullness interoceptive cues, the hunger fullness scale, not turning these principles into a diet and the benefits of honoring your hunger and fullness.   Referenced in this episode:  Episodes on  Intuitive Eating Principles Part 1  and Part 2.

We are joined the co-founders of a start-up called daydreamers—a gym for creativity. Links and timestamps appear at the bottom. These two are a real power couple. Both began in the finance world in New York. Katina did data analytics at Goldman Sachs before moving on to a philanthropic venture fund. Dupi worked in investment banking before moving on to private equity. But that’s where the conventional path ended for these two. Katina started On Adulting, blog and online community focused on lifestyle and wellness for millennial women. Katina’s work has been featured in outlets like Fast Company, Teen Vogue, Mindbodygreen, HuffPost, Elite Daily, and Thrive Global, and her message quickly caught fire.

As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes.   What’s so cool about New Chapter’s perfect prenatal vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal*.   And they also have a Perfect postnatal vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric*.   As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so!   You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores.

Change. Why is is so damn hard and how can we make it a little easier? How do we learn to believe in ourselves and to trust our intuition?
