In the very first episode of Scraping By, hosts Alex and Cassidy dive into the messiness of being in your twenties — and why adulting is way harder than we thought. We start by sharing how we became friends and why we decided to start this podcast in the first place. From there, we tackle the overwhelming struggles of post-grad life, the crushing pressure to figure out a career, and the struggles of finding a direction when everything feels up in the air. Whether you’re deep in the trenches of your twenties or just trying to keep it together, you’ll feel right at home with us.
