Growing Yet Grown is a podcast hosted by two friends in their 30s. We explore the reality of growing after you’re already grown - careers evolving, relationships changing, money decisions getting heavier, identities shifting, and expectations colliding with real life.

Each episode is a candid, thoughtful conversation about the choices and tensions that define modern adulthood - no easy answers, just honest reflection, lived experience, and practical insight.

This podcast is for anyone who knows that adulthood isn’t a finish line - it’s a phase of continuous growth, questioning, and becoming.

  • Your Relationship With Money Is Broken, Here's Why
    Jun 9 2026

    65% of Americans are stressed about money and most of it starts way before adulthood.

    In this episode, Doyin and Simone discuss how our relationship with money is formed from childhood and why they quietly shape every financial decision we make as adults: including who we choose to marry, who we stay friends with, and how we handle money in our families.


    They break down:

    The 4 money personalities: avoider, over-controller, spender, and hoarder and how to spot yours

    How your first money memories wire your financial behaviour today

    Why financial transparency in marriage is non-negotiable and what happens when partners have clashing money personalities.

    Money mindsets worth unlearning


    Whether you grew up watching your parents fight about money, hide money, or never discuss it at all, this episode is how you improve your relationship with money.

  • Parenting Confessions: Here's Why We're Parenting Differently
    Jun 2 2026

    We were raised strict but with our own kids, we are parenting differently.

    Today, 98% of millennial parents now talk to their kids about mental health, compared to just a fraction of their own parents. In this episode, We get into what it actually looks like raising black children in America as millennial West African women.

    We discussed the difficulties we experienced in talking to kids about race and how our upbringing influences our parenting philosophies; From liberating ways to encourage confidence and open dialogue, to breaking free from fears we inherited. We also delve deeper into what gentle parenting is; why it’s hard and if we are for it or not.

    This one is for every mom in diaspora, who’s figuring it out in real time, without a village, without a manual, and without anyone who truly gets the specific thing you're navigating.


    We still don't have all the answers. In fact, we want yours. If you've raised older kids in the diaspora, we need your advice. Drop it in the comments.
