OUR COURSES
are designed to get you where you want to be as efficiently, enjoyably and sustainably as possible!
Manageable, Bite Sized Lessons
Courses are broken into 3 - 20 minute lessons, so you can be learning even if you only have 15 mins/day. We want to build that intrinsic motivation through small and consistent steps and wins, rather than being another large task that they feel overwhelmed and guilt ridden by.
Actionable Steps
Learning is great, but the implementation of our learning is even better! Our actionable steps help individuals implement their learning and sustain their change and growth. Most courses also come with a PDF fillable workbook to be able to return to your learnings long after the completion of your course.
Community Connection Moments
Because members take our courses alone and on their own schedule, we decided to find some more ways we can make it more connected. Throughout the course, there are moments to connect with others who are taking/have taken the course. These include discussion prompts, questions, sharing before/after photos, sharing faves of relevant topics, etc.
Who is STRUGGLING?
Firstly: our CEO.
Cooking? She has literally burnt rice multiple times. Life Insurance? Does she have it? Who knows (spoiler: not her). Red flags? Ignores every single one. Yikes.
If you're struggling, you are not alone. Even the adults that seem to have it all together have areas they can improve in. There's a better life for us all that isn't just crying every tax season and feeling guilty when we spend our money.
You
SOS!
Listen, we've got you. That's all I'm going to say.
Let's get you thriving because you deserve to not be overwhelmed every week.
Your Adult Children
We get it. Parenting is hard.
We've created a program designed by parents who've been in your position and adults who've been in your child's position. Check out our guided program to help you help them!
Your Group
Student Council?
Group of all-stars working on self improvement? Association of bad@$$ery?
Check out our group membership options to grow together!

About Us
Most of us feel like we’re behind in life and scrolling through Instagram can amplify that feeling. But in reality, most of us are struggling with the same kinds of issues and are feeling just as challenged.
Between student loan debts, work demands, feeling unsure if we should invest for retirement while the world is burning, the pressures of balancing identifying red flags with the fact that our eggs have a shelf life, let alone remembering to keep toilet paper stocked in our house—the responsibilities of adult life can often feel overwhelming, stressful, and chaotic.
With an arsenal of knowledge and tools in our back pocket, we want to guide anyone who wants to spend less time figuring out how to be an adult and spend more time living it. Real Adulting 101 is a community that supports personal growth through an online platform with curated courses, resources, and tools to make adulting as easy as possible.
It’s up to us to craft a life of meaning and fulfillment, and we’re here to guide you in making decisions and implementing change that will help you thrive in life.
FAQ
Members get unlimited access to all 20+ courses, downloadable workbooks, additional resources (budget templates, portfolio builders, home checklist, etc.) and our ever growing community. As we grow, you’ll have access to additional perks such as our Book Clubs, our Q&A’s, and our 1:1 database of coaches to help further implement your learning.
Great question! We know that a lot of this information is out there on Youtube or in blogs. Though we think all of these resources are awesome and definitely connect with some people, we believe that these forms of education are not efficient learning strategies for the majority of individuals. If they were, the statistics around young adults and finances, home ownership, health, etc. wouldn’t be as scary as they are. We interviewed and surveyed a large group of young adults around what works for them when it comes to learning and developed Real Adulting 101 off of YOUR answers. So let’s get into what actually makes us different:
All Inclusive: Our platform carries a large range of courses and educators so that you don’t have to spend all of your time trying to research a different solution and educator for every single area of your life.
Actionable Steps: We’ve made sure that each course has clear, actionable steps to support all of your learning. We believe that learning is great, but that the implementation of your learning is even better! Actionable steps may include taking a quiz to find your investment risk level, filling out a home ownership checklist, discussion prompts around money with your partner, journaling to help you get the most out of your therapy session and so much more!
Community: We know that adulting can feel isolating and competitive. I would say most of us feel like we’re behind when comparing ourselves to others. We want to build transparency around the adulting journey and to help connect you with others who are on a similar path. Share your goals, your wins, your challenges and your questions.
Resources: We are constantly looking to either connect our members with the best resources needed for their adulting journeys, or develop them ourselves.
Tools: We’re taking out as much of the grunt work as possible. We help you easily secure all of the tools you may need in your adulting life (sometimes with a RA101 exclusive discount!)
The curriculum for each course is dependent on the Adulting Guide and the subject they’re covering. Every lesson within the course consists of a video in which our Adulting Guide educates via a presentation, hands on learning, examples, and more. Our courses come with workbooks and actionable steps to help you further implement your learning into your life.
Each course is made up of 4 – 25+ video lessons. These video lessons are 3 to 15 minutes in length each. We know life can be overwhelming and we want to make the information as bite sized and efficient as possible. Our members should feel like they are able to implement their learning within a 15 minute transit ride.
