What does “healthy living” actually look like when you’re just starting out in adulthood? Between work, social life, and just trying to keep your head above water, wellness can feel like one more overwhelming task on the to-do list. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this two-part mini-series, we’re breaking it down with guests Cara Chedid and Noah Tinker — two young adults who are passionate about fitness and wellness, and are figuring out what works for them in real life. Together, we explore how to make health less intimidating and more sustainable.

In part one, we focus on movement, routines, and small lifestyle shifts that actually make a difference. From finding ways to stay active without overthinking it, to building habits that stick (and forgiving yourself when they don’t), this conversation is about approaching wellness with balance, intention, and a little bit of fun.

Your twenties are often sold as the best years of your life—but for many of us, they’re also the loneliest. In this episode, Abby shares stories from moving back to London and a solo trip to Edinburgh, and digs into why so many young adults struggle with connection. From friendship drift to dating apps, she explores what makes this stage so isolating—and how to start finding comfort in both solitude and community.

What happens when your career path is anything but linear? In this episode, product designer Mareike Keller shares how she went from studying business administration, to working as a flight attendant, to returning to university later in life — before landing her role at Spotify. Along the way, we talk about the value of detours, how every experience builds transferable skills, and why it’s okay to take your time figuring things out. Mareike also reflects on the pressures to choose stability over exploration, and how staying open to change can lead you to your best opportunities.
