About This Podcast

Almost Grown...Up is a podcast about approaching life's big questions, with a spirit of play. Hosted by writer and creative Lucie Lincoln, each episode explores what it means to grow up on your own terms. Think of this as your permission slip to play, get curious, make a mess, and trust your creative instincts — even if you're still figuring things out. From burnout and identity to rediscovering joy and trying new things, this show is your companion for navigating life with more wonder, creativity, and self-compassion. Because life isn't about having it all together — but enjoying the journey as we figure it out one playful step at a time.
