Author: Chizi February 12, 2026 Duration: 35:18
Text us and share your adulting stories! At 29 years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD. As a high-achieving Black woman, entrepreneur, and Christian, ADHD was never something I thought applied to me. I did well in school. I built a business.

Ever get the sense that everyone else received a manual for adulthood that you missed? You're not alone. I Guess I’m an Adult Now... is a space hosted by Chizi Duru where we drop the pretense and talk honestly about the journey. This podcast digs into the unspoken, often messy transition into grown-up life, moving beyond the polished highlight reels to find the real stories underneath. Conversations here weave through the complexities of modern society and culture, touching on everything from the mundane frustrations of daily responsibilities to the deeper questions of purpose and identity. With a perspective grounded in faith and spirituality, Chizi explores how Christian principles intersect with the chaos of real-world living, offering wisdom without easy answers. Episodes might start with a funny story about a budgeting fail or a workplace mishap, but often spiral into meaningful discussions about healing, the legacy of past hurts, and building a life that feels authentic. It’s a blend of personal reflection, unfiltered commentary, and genuine curiosity, creating a feeling more like a late-night chat with a close friend than a formal lecture. Tuning in means hearing a voice that refuses to pretend to have it all figured out, making this podcast a comforting companion for anyone navigating their own winding path toward becoming who they’re meant to be.
