In 2022 I launched my first full-length non-fiction book, Adulting101. It’s a handbook for anyone who needs to survive the real world. Find out more here.
I was interviewed by Sarah Hoek for the Daily Maverick as part of her review of the book. We talked about what the book is about, the process of writing it, and what some of the key messages are.
The Sunday Times gave me a whole section on writing Adulting101. I talk about where I got the idea for the book and how I structured. it.
I talked to Gugu Mhlungo for 702 Weekend Breakfast about Adulting101. We talked about how different it is from my usual writing. Listeners wrote in to the show with the things they wish they’d known before they became an adult.
I did a series of interviews on OFM’s The Joyride. Take a listen:
- Episode 1: Get enough sleep and take a deep breath
- Episode 2: Take care of your mental health and think about what you’re eating
- Episode 3: Taking care of and in relationships
- Episode 4: Sex and baby-making
- Episode 5: The Conclusion
I chatted to SABC Morning Live about the book
I also chatted with Sara-Jayne Makwala King on 702. ‘Adulting, it’s not easy, is it?’ she began, and we went from there. Listen here.
It was a fun year of talks!
