  • I Kept Skipping This Class: Addiction, Weight Gain & Embracing The Real Me | EP 05

    I Kept Skipping This Class: Addiction, Weight Gain & Embracing The Real Me | EP 05
    2025/09/21
    NOPE! Stop skipping this class...it's called "Process". You couldn't tell that to me though...at least not until now. I get raw and honest in this episode---Freshman Adults, join me as I opens up about the moments I've tried to skip the — “the Class of Process.” This class isn’t in any syllabus, but it’s the essential for learning how to facing struggles and growing into more of your authentic self. I share how skipping it led to alcohol addiction, freshman 15 weight gain (more like 20), and the mental health cost of avoidance.

    Choosing honesty and vulnerability became my gateway to real change---and although it's not easy I want to help you unpack areas of your life where you may trying to skip "Process Class" too, while leaving you with actual tools to help you learn little by little to embrace it, in every season. It’s for anyone tired of quick fixes and ready to embrace the messy, imperfect process of becoming--a class required for every Freshman Adult. Tune in to learn why the Class of Process is the toughest but most important class you’ll ever take...and keep taking--and why showing up for it changes everything.

  • Locked Out of My Car — And What It Taught Me About Life | EP 04

    Locked Out of My Car — And What It Taught Me About Life | EP 04
    2025/09/15
    What do you do when life takes an unexpected turn? LIFE IS...unexpected at times. That's exactly how my day was. I LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY CAR...but decided to talk about it anyway. What started as a frustrating moment turned into something much deeper. I started thinking about this question: How can we navigate life's unexpected and also learn how to find peace amidst the Ups and Downs. How do we LIVE between both the grief and the joys of life? The celebrations and the mourning....let's process it together.


    HEY EVERYONE,

    THIS EPISODE IS TECHNICALLY FROM A PREVIOUS WEEK, BUT THERE WERE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES! THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME! My hope is after listening, you'll walk away with some tangible tools you can use for your days ahead, a good laugh and some encouragement to keep you going, until we meet for class again.

    yours host,
    Nicole-Bethany

    Freshman Orientation Part 2 - Who's a Freshman Adult? | EP 02
    2025/08/19
    This one got a little emotional… but it was honest. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Life is hard, and in this episode of the Freshman Adult Podcast we open up about the messy, unfiltered side of adulthood. I share a personal moment on how I’m learning to navigate life’s difficult seasons—while still choosing to show up in a healthy way. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “have it all together,” you’re not alone. From holding onto hope and faith, to authentically embracing that “freshman feeling” of figuring things out for the first time, this conversation reminds us that adulthood is not about perfection—it’s about persistence and requires faith.

    Whether you’re just entering adulthood or have been in it for a while, tune in to this episode for encouragement, honesty, and the motivation to keep moving forward.

    Your 20s are often called the best years of your life… but honestly, adulthood can feel like a messy, exciting, and confusing first day at a brand-new school. In this premiere episode, we explore what it means to be a Freshman Adult —a new adult navigating your 20s with curiosity instead of shame.


    💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
    1. Who I Am – Meet me, Nicole-Bethany, your guide and fellow Freshman Adult in the school of life
    2. What It Means to Be a Freshman Adult – A clear definition and why it matters in your 20s and beyond
    3. Why This Conversation Matters– The importance of talking about the Freshman Adult experience and how it can change the way you approach adulthood.
    You’ll learn how to embrace the fact that you’re still figuring things out and why you don’t need to have it all together. Whether you’re starting your first real job, moving into your own place, or figuring out love, money, and identity, this conversation will help you see that adulthood is always a learning process. And the “freshman feeling” isn’t just for your 20s—it’s for every stage of life. New seasons mean new challenges, and leaning into that "Freshman Feeling" keeps a curious, growing, and open to mindset--all neccesary tools to carry along with you, on the journey.
