Adulting with Vicky#28 Birthday + New Years SpecialThough I've only scratched the surface of adulthood, I don't want to trivialize the lessons and experiences I've had so far. Yes, we're young and possibly still a little naive, but the more life throws at us, the more we understand the realities of the world. Now at age 25, I'm looking back on the past three years of my life to dissect how each year's experiences affected my intentions for the next.2018-12-3108 minAdulting with Vicky#27 Hey Perfectionists! This episode is for youIf you've ever decided to NOT try something out of fear of "failure," you might have experienced analysis paralysis. If you're a perfectionist and you get anxious when things don't go how you envisioned, you might have a fixed mindset. These are a couple topics Career Coach Lisa Lewis and I explore this week on Adulting with Vicky. We get into perfectionism and compare fixed mindsets vs. growth mindsets. Lisa explains how to ease yourself into a potentially huge career change, going into new situations with courage vs. confidence and how even though perfectionists want to do everything so it's...2018-12-1737 minAdulting with Vicky#26 Stop Your B****ing: Working in Toxic Office EnvironmentsIt's pretty common to find yourself working in an environment with toxic personalities, unhealthy work-life balance, problematic leadership or complicated office politics at least once in your career. It's easy to feel stuck in that workplace when you're fresh out of college, have little experience and desperately need the paycheck. However, I suggest you jump ship if the situation isn't going to improve after giving it a solid chance. This week's guest, Katrina Honer, says she turned around her reputation from "office b****" to office boss by giving herself an attitude check and finding ways to effect positive changes at...2018-12-1036 minAdulting with Vicky#25 No One Said It Would Be EasyDoing the right thing isn't always easy, but what's "right" in the first place? This is a big question Nicole Devereaux answers in the context of her marriage. She opens up about the steps she and her husband have taken to work on their relationship, seeking help and mental health.2018-12-0340 min
Adulting with Vicky#24 Imma let you finish, but first...Imma let you live your life, but first, I’m going to share Susie Trujillo’s concept “But first, the end” with you. Rather than getting caught up in the fact that significant events in life are finite, Susie developed this idea to help herself and others live intentionally and find comfort in unpredictability. Millennials are made out to be a flighty, idealistic generation, but why is that? Are we chasing passions that previous generations didn’t have? Why, compared to other generations, are we so anxious about our path? Susie and I discuss all of this. Tune in to find out h...2018-11-2635 min
Adulting with Vicky#23 So we left our 9-5s...what do we do now?Leaving your full-time-financially-stable-benefits-covering job to pursue your passion is not as easy as putting in your two weeks and immediately living this free-flowing, creative, zen-ass lifestyle. That’s a bit too idealistic (and unrealistic) for me. For Lisa Friedman and myself, it took a lot of financial planning, working side gigs, developing ideas only to eventually scratch them and start over, being brutally honest with ourselves and working at random hours of the day. We’re still figuring it out, but tune in to hear what we’ve learned so far. You won’t regret it!2018-11-1935 min
Adulting with Vicky#22 Let’s talk depression: Don’t add more to your hate-fireDepression is a mental illness that affects 16 million American adults every year. And though that number is high, many people affected may feel pretty alone. I know I have. This week, I sit down with Shelley Armenta to discuss our experiences living with depression and anxiety. We hope this episode will give you some insight on how both impact the way we think, act and ask for help. Let's destigmatize mental illness so that more conversations can be had between you, your loved ones and your community.2018-11-1335 min

Young adults are typically learning how to handle their finances, relationships, responsibilities and what it means to ACTUALLY take care of yourself and be independent at this point in time. Add “build a business” to that list and you have Kayla Bell, founder an...2018-10-2933 min
Adulting with Vicky#19 Mo Money Mo ProblemsI don't know about you, but I wish my college offered a personal finances course. I was taught to get a job, but no one ever explained how I should allocate my money. I just knew the gist: manage your debt, have a savings account and put money into an IRA or 401K. Sharing her framework for tracking money, saving for significant "adulting" moves and creating a budget is Cash Bar's Trina Patel.2018-10-2229 min
Adulting with Vicky#18 Goodbye New Jersey, Hello San FranciscoA ton of "adulting" is involved when you move out of your parents' house, live with a significant other or try to build new friendships as an adult. For many, these take place on separate occasions, but for Kara Schwartz, they all tied together. In this episode, we discuss her move from a small town in New Jersey to San Francisco, Bart encounters, meet-cutes with new friends and learning to loosen the reigns on some of her living habits.2018-10-1529 min
Adulting with Vicky#17 No Path, No ProblemTo be completely honest, I’m tired of hearing my peers (and even myself) obsess over not having a detailed 5- or 10-year career plan. I think it’s great to have an idea of what you’d like to accomplish, come up with a few different paths you can see yourself going down and set up action items to get yourself there, but until you accept that things don’t always work out as planned, you’re going to freak out over every misstep and rob yourself of enjoying where you’re at. This week’s guest, Kevin Sharp, is a talented...2018-10-0836 min

Adulting with Vicky#14 Sayonara, Corporate AmericaYounger millennials are known to throw caution to the wind when it comes to chasing our passions. It's an unfortunate and sometimes true stereotype. From former full-time exhibit designer to full-time artist, Tiffany Trieu does not fall into this stereotype. Though she left her job to develop herself as an artist, she had a plan. Listen in as we discuss financial independence versus financial flexibility, creating structure for yourself and finding the right communities to support you.2018-09-0336 min
Adulting with Vicky#13 You Do YouIt's easy for us to get in our head about what other people think about us or what other people expect for us. This episode is about letting go of those expectations and pushing through imposter syndrome so you can successfully "do you." Life is not linear and neither is our career path. As messy as it may feel to you, remember to stack your successes, keep your head down and WORK. This week's guest, Kenta Naoi, reflects on his 20s and all the things that led to his new project, Movement Design Research.2018-08-2736 min
Adulting with Vicky#12 Adulting Take OneAdulthood is tough. There's learning how to manage your finances, dealing with family and relationships, figuring out what the hell work-life-balance really means to you, and for some, squeezing in time to pursue your passion. Ayanna's passion is in storytelling and making films. She's a screenwriter, director, producer and all-around badass boss. In this episode, we talk about how she navigated postgrad life, found the best resources she could to fuel her dream career and candidly share how we still don't really know what we're doing.2018-08-2030 min

Adulting with Vicky#8 Confessions of Two Millennial Med StudentsLet’s be honest. It’s common for a lot of 90s babies to discuss post-grad struggles, but have you ever thought about our friends in medical and/or other graduate programs who are still in school? While people commonly associate adulting with post-grad, that’s not always how it is. What’s it like navigating your 20s while being a med student?
