About us
Meet the Moms Behind How to Be a Grownup
We’re Caitlin & Jenny—educators, moms, and professional ‘adulting’ fakers. (But hey, we Google the answers so you don’t have to.)
This is the podcast for moms who:
-
Know WD-40 removes crayon from walls (but still cry each time they have to clean it)
-
Dream of ‘me time’… even if it’s just hiding in the closet with their secret candy stash
-
Believe that secret candy stash is part of their self-care
Our Story
In 2021, we were two overworked teacher-moms drowning in COVID-teaching (and the existential dread that came with it). One day, while scrubbing mystery stains off the couch (again), we realized: no one actually knows how to ‘adult’—they’re just better at faking it.
So we started How to Be a Grownup to share:
-
Real talk about the stuff no one warns you about (like 5 PM energy crashes and orthodontia on a 6-year-old)
-
Actually useful hacks (tested on our own chaos)
-
Zero-judgment laughs because mom life is hard enough
