Laura Thomae Young is a writer, workshop leader, and international speaker with more than twenty years of experience working with teens, young adults, and women. The idea for the “Adulting Like a Boss” website, book, and podcast came after her return from living abroad for more than a decade. Upon acclimating back to life in the States, she came across more and more friends in the upcoming generation who lacked confidence in tackling adult situations, both big and small.

Office politics can mean schmoozing up to your boss and others higher up the totem pole than you in order to gain favor – hoping for a raise, a promotion, or status among your peers. It can mean hanging out with the “right” people – the equivalent of the cool kids table – and joining in negativity or gossip because you want to be on the “inside tra…

If you’ve ever been caught red-handed – that is – something you said was overheard by or repeated to the very person you didn’t want to hear it, then you know how painful and embarrassing that can be! When you are at work, bad-mouthing can damage relationships with co-workers, break trust, cost opportunities, or in extreme circumstances, cost you y…

It’s December and the first thing that comes to mind is… Christmas! Already Christmas programs are in full swing – the Nashville Christmas parade was this past weekend, the lighting of the Christmas trees is happening all over the place, and the malls are crammed with shoppers. And that brings me to what I want to talk to you about today – shopping…

Have you ever been in a conversation where someone was saying something entirely inappropriate, and then realized it, but kept talking – and in trying make the situation better, they just dug themselves deeper into the hole? Okay, have you ever BEEN that person? You just want to say to them (or to yourself) – You’re in a hole! Best bet…..Stop diggi…

Some people call it habit. Some call it ritual. Some call it routine. Whatever you want to call it (I’m calling it habit,) it’s forming a habit so that the hard thing you find so difficult to do isn’t quite so hard in the future – in fact, if you form the right habit, it won’t ever be a hard thing again. You’ll do it without thinking! But here’s th…

A few weeks ago I posted an article and podcast about how important it is to vote in the upcoming mid-term elections on November 6th. Mid-Term Elections are held every four years, half-way through the presidential term. The election is right around the corner, and I know some of you have some questions about what you’ll be voting for. If you don’t …

No matter what you call it, the principle of trading off doing what’s hard NOW to reap the benefits of something easier down the road is stated over and over . Maxwell says it like this: Pay Now, Play Later. Because if you don’t, you’ll Play Now and Pay Later. And the “Pay Later” is a much BIGGER pay than paying now...…

SPECIAL GUEST: Mary Kathryn Lunceford-Levesque You are the sum of the five people you hang out with. Do you believe that’s true? It’s a popular saying attributed to Jim Rohn, a motivational speaker. An older saying which means the same thing is “Birds of a feather flock together.” Now here’s what I mean by this...…

Maintaining friendships – knowing when to invest the precious commodity of time into a relationship, when there are a million “to-do’s” screaming to be done. And then, knowing – when you do have people in your life – who to spend your time with! It’s hard to know who the people are that COULD be in your life, and even harder to know who SHOULD be i…

Do you read or listen to the news? Are you interested at all in what’s going on around the country and the world? I’m curious to know how many of you keep up with local, national or world news. So for the next two podcasts (#14 & #15), I’m going to be talking about two big things going on in the United States government right now (Fall 2018). That’…

The one thing that’s true about all millennials is this. There is not one thing that is true about all millennials. I think the media has done a pretty crummy job of lumping millennials into one big pile – saying that all millennials are like THIS or like THAT. When the truth is, this generation – born between 1982 and 2000 – are as different and u…

I see millennials living very intentionally so they can spend their money on travel – but traveling in a different way than in the past. Travel used to mean getting on a plane, train or car and arriving at some destination, staying in a hotel, and seeing all the touristy spots. Take a few pictures, and buy a few souvenirs, then go back to suburban …

I don’t know about you, but most people I talk to are worried about money. Either they don’t feel confident handling money, they feel like they should do a better job with their money, or most often, they feel like there is not quite enough money left at the end of their pay period. Most money problems can usually be solved by just paying attention…

When it comes to rest or even self-care, I am unfortunately way out of balance. I tend to overwork myself, and make those long lists, and spend very little time just reading or watching movies, or hanging out with friends. Here are just a few ideas that might help you balance your work, your rest, your play, and your “must do’s.”…

When you’re in school, you make new friends organically, just by sitting next to someone in class, or participating in the dozens of activities that are at your fingertips in school. But as an adult, it’s not so easy. You have to be intentional about making friends. If you’re fortunate enough to have people at work you can make friends with, that’s…

Thinking about leaving your job for a new one? You’ve had some restlessness lately?You might want to think again! Millennials have earned the unfortunate reputation of “job hoppers,” when the reality is, people of all ages in today’s work force change jobs more than they did fifty years ago. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says that the med…

In today’s workforce, most people don’t expect to be at their job their entire lives as they did in the past. In fact, in a CareerBuilder article, it states that by the age of 35, 25 percent of workers have held five jobs or more. Here are the three main reasons most people start to feel restless.By Laura Thomae Young

The hard part about Adulting is that it’s … well…HARD. Doing hard things and doing them over and over – going to work, paying the bills, cleaning your living space – in the moment you’re doing them may not always seem like the fun and free grown-up life you imagined, but doing those hard things will ultimately get you what you really want. Let me e…
