Adulting Decoded

Today we Decode... Advice To Our Younger Self. As we reflect over the lessons we have learned throughout our lives while also acknowledging that we are always growing and learning, we wanted to give ourselves a roadmap. A set of advice that our younger selves would have wanted to know and our present selves can also use to make better choices. Join us as we decode advice to our younger selves with a panel of experts, the Decoders! We are all in this thing together so who better to seek advice from than the community of Decoders. With so much great advice, we also had to make it 2 parts for you Decoders!

Today we Decode...Emotional Intelligence. Do you recognize when you need to tap into outside help to deal with issues or behaviors, Decoders? How can we recognize the signs that we may need to seek professional assistance to deal with certain issues? What are the signs that we should look for? How can we be honest with ourselves about the fact that sometimes we are not and should not be strong enough to deal with issues on our own? Join us as we Decode these signs and understand how seeking help can only benefit us in our adulting journeys.

Today we Decode...Creating a legacy for ourselves and our families. What do we mean by legacy? Typically the idea of legacy involves financial and material possessions but what other legacies should we focus on during our adulting journeys. Is creating a legacy important to you? Why is this something we should strive to do in our own families? How have you begun to do that? Join us as we discuss the traditions, cultures and history we want to become our legacies.

Today we Decode...Happiness. How important is happiness to you in your adulting? Is happiness a destination or a journey? How much happiness should we expect? Should we look at happiness as a luxury? Is there any harm in just being satisfied vs. being happy? Join us as we discuss and reflect on how happiness fits into our adulting journeys.
