  • I Hate Socializing
    Do you really hate socializing—or do you just hate certain kinds of socializing? In this episode of The Adult’s Table, I unpack my love/hate relationship with being around people. As someone who often feels pressure to “be more social,” I share what it’s like to navigate friendships, connection, and introversion as an adult, especially after moving countries and hitting my 30s.We’ll talk about why socializing feels draining sometimes, how to tell the difference between not liking people vs. not liking certain settings, and how to redefine what friendship and connection look like for you. If you’ve ever thought “I hate socializing” (or felt guilty for not wanting to go out), this conversation is for you.✨ If you’re introverted, I want to hear your perspective. If you’re extroverted, help us understand your side too. Leave a comment with your experience – I’d love to know how you navigate socializing.🔔 Subscribe for honest conversations about adulthood, choices, and self-growth🎙 Socials⁠https://www.instagram.com/theadultstableshow/⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theadultstableshow⁠Merch⁠https://theadultstableshow.printful.me/⁠Newsletter⁠https://thefernandarodrigues.substack.com/⁠

  • The Price of Authenticity, and How To be More Authentic
    We all say we want to “be authentic,” but do we even know what that means? In this episode of The Adults’ Table, I dig into the real meaning of authenticity – beyond the Instagram quotes and overused buzzwords. We’ll talk about why showing up as your true self is so difficult, how personas and validation shape who we think we are, and why belonging often clashes with authenticity. You’ll hear about the shadow side of your personality, the friction you’ll face from family and friends, and why being authentic can sometimes feel selfish (but isn’t). If you’ve ever felt torn between being accepted and being yourself, this conversation is for you.Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/theadultstableshow/https://www.tiktok.com/@theadultstableshowMerchhttps://theadultstableshow.printful.me/Newsletterhttps://thefernandarodrigues.substack.com/

  • You're Creative, You Just Don't Know It
    You are creative. Even if you’ve convinced yourself otherwise. In this episode, I’m breaking down why creativity isn’t just for “artists” or “geniuses” — it’s a force that lives in all of us.I share why so many of us stopped believing we were creative, how resistance shows up to block our ideas, and why we confuse creativity with inspiration, artistic talent, or being disruptive.Then, I’ll walk you through what creativity really is, and how you can start inviting it back into your life – whether that’s at work, in your art, or just in the way you solve everyday problems.If you’ve ever said “I’m just not a creative person,” this conversation is for you.
