Roommate Dynamics: Are they ready to communicate with roommates, handle conflicts, and create a respectful shared space?
Self-Care and Mental Health: Do they understand the importance of mental health and how to access campus support services?
College-Level Academics: Are they prepared for independent learning and able to seek help from professors or tutors?
Career Services and Internships: Do they know how to explore career opportunities and build a professional network from their first year?

What if the very parts of yourself you’ve been trying to hide, fix, or escape are actually the key to your deepest transformation? Your wounds, self-doubt, and repeating negative cycles aren’t random, they're messages from your shadows, demanding to be heard. But most healing approaches fail because they separate personal growth from relationships. Until you address both, true rebirth remains out of reach.

So, what’s your favorite Bible verse? Wait, let me guess. Is it Jeremiah 29:11? Maybe Philippians 4:13? Or could it be John 3:16? Don’t get me wrong—those are all great, but let’s be honest, we hear them a lot. I’m willing to bet your favorite passage probably isn’t coming from Haggai, Obadiah, or Nahum—right? But guess what? Those books have some gems, too. If you’re ready to go beyond the usual, you’ve come to the right place!

¿Sientes que otros conectan con facilidad mientras tú te quedas atascado en la "charla sobre el clima"? ¿Te aterra asistir a eventos de networking o conferencias? No eres el único. Estudios muestran que el 85% del éxito laboral depende de habilidades sociales y comunicativas, esenciales también en nuestra vida personal. Pero la buena noticia es que dominar el arte de la conversación no es un talento, sino una habilidad que se puede aprender.

A smart, thoughtful guide for new grads
I listened to this as someone helping my younger sibling get ready for college, and it really hit the right notes. It covered things I hadn’t even thought to bring up—like how to actually handle health insurance or find campus mental health resources. The roommate tips and budgeting sections were especially eye-opening and easy to pass along. Great mix of advice that feels relevant without talking down to the listener.

Super Informative
This is a must listen for any teen or high schooler. I really loved that they touched base with independent living along with highlighting some important aspects of finance. This is something I never had in my younger days. I also loved how they explain on relationship and how to manage relationships at a young age.

Great advice for young adults and their parents
I am a father to children in their early twenties, late teens, and a few that are pre-puberty. I worry about all of them. I was happy to listen to this comprehensive 2 in 1 collection of practical advice for late teens and young adults. There is a ton of great information, and I am going to make it required for my teens, and suggest that my older kids give it a listen, as well.

On a need to know basis; this is a NEED to KNOW!
"Adulting Life Skills" is a refreshing and insightful guide for young adults stepping into the complexities of college life and beyond. This well written guide cleverly combines essential life skills with practical advice, making it an comprehensive resource for anyone transitioning into adulthood. Its not preachy or too Mom sounding.
Lyons captures the essence of the freshman experience with humor and relatability, addressing everything from time management and budgeting to handling relationships and self-care. Her engaging storytelling style makes the content not only informative but also enjoyable to listen to, ensuring that listeners remain engaged throughout.
One of the standout features of this audiobook is Lyon's emphasis on empowerment. She encourages listeners to embrace challenges and view them as opportunities for growth. As she states, “Success is not about being perfect; it’s about being resilient and learning from every experience.” This perspective is particularly valuable for young adults navigating the uncertainties of their first year in college. Sometimes learning what not to do or say is as good as what you should do or say!
Additionally, Lyons offers practical tools and actionable steps, making it easy for listeners to implement the skills discussed. A memorable quote from the book encapsulates this: “Adulting is less about knowing everything and more about being willing to learn and adjust along the way.” This statement serves as a comforting reminder that growth is a continuous journey, and it’s perfectly okay to seek help and ask questions.
Overall, this Audible book is a must-listen for anyone preparing for the transition to college life or adulthood. Whether you’re a parent or a freshman or just looking to refine your life skills, this guide will inspire confidence and provide the tools necessary to thrive.
