Am I Doing This Right?

Education Podcasts

Each week, our hosts, Corinne Foxx and Natalie McMillan, cheers to the uncertainty of adulthood. And by “cheers,” they are being quite literal. A glass of wine (or two) makes this life “how to” podcast feel more like casual, after-work drinks with your best friend than a lengthy lecture. Budding business owners and best friends, Corinne and Natalie know first hand how hard it is to navigate life’s biggest milestones, from completing your first tax return to buying your first home. They often find themselves calling each other for advice, frequently asking, “Am I Doing This Right?” And thus a sisterhood of common confusion has been born. Am I Doing This Right? is not a your typical “how to” podcast. Why? Well, Corinne and Natalie aren’t experts - in fact, they’re far from it. They’re just two best friends with 26 years of life experience, and a whole lot of questions about today’s rapidly changing world. For example, How do I start my own business? Should I buy or lease my car? How do we survive student debt? What’s the best Hinge profile strategy? How do I balance work life and my personal life? Do I really need a 401k? The goal isn’t to provide all the answers, but to bring comfort to our audience knowing they aren’t the only ones asking the same questions. This evergreen podcast will act as a guide book for young people on how to kickstart their adulthood. This “learning along the way” approach makes this podcast less of a Ted Talk and more of a happy hour. For more life advice, follow us on Instagram: @amidoingthisrightpod Have a life question?

Changing Seasons, ADHD & Overrated/Underrated

8/29/2023
It's only August, but Corinne's throw pillows are already transitioning to fall, the pumpkins are out, and we're feeling those autumn vibes! Today, we're catching up and chatting about Corinne's spontaneous trip to Mexico, the new tools Natalie uses to manage her ADHD, and how we're still prioritizing our gut health. We reminisce on the golden age of the internet, from the YouTube classics like "Shoes" and "Muffins" to the chaotic (and probably sketchy) era of LimeWire and YouTube-to-MP3 converters. And is it just us, or does today's popular music seem to be going downhill? Either way, grab your bottled Pink Drink and join us for another episode!

How To Embrace Change

8/22/2023
You may have heard the phrase, “The only constant in life is change.” Today, we are talking about the major life transitions that we all go through: how people react to change, and how we can learn to embrace change in our own lives. In this episode, we’re discussing the impact of change, including its history, the most common life changes experienced, three stages of life transitions (and the different reactions we can have to each!), and how to reframe uncomfortable feelings and emotions around change. Lastly, how do you feel about a Color Theory or Kibbe Body Type episode? Send us a DM and let us know. And we’re always open to ideas for future show topics!
