Description

Get ready to laugh, rage, and maybe even shed a tear—because adulting just got real. In this explosive episode, Turner welcomes back the one and only Lynne Taylor, the Common Core Diva🌟, to tackle the wildest trend sweeping our culture: Peter Pan Syndrome.

From the cradle-to-career pipelines that sideline critical thinking 🏫➡️💼, to schools grading entire groups on the backs of the hardest workers 📝💥, to the unsettling rise of “Adulting 101” classes that teach 50-somethings how to pay a bill or mend a rip—nothing is off-limits. Lynne and Courtenay unpack:

  • How a century-old alliance between labor and education turned your child into a perennial student instead of a responsible adult 🎓🔄

  • The shocking ways schools and therapists may be fostering dependencerather than self-sufficiency 🏥🤝

  • Why “life hacks” and “lifelong learning” are just slick marketing for an all-encompassing nanny state 🛠️🍼

  • The terrifying path from school-choice Trojan horses to cradle-to-grave government monitoring 🏛️👁️

If you’re tired of feeling like a perpetual teenager in a grown-up body, this is your rallying cry 🚩. Discover why so many 20-, 30-, and 40-somethings can’t—or won’t—step up, and how we all got here. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just someone who still remembers how to do their own laundry 🧺, you don’t want to miss this no-holds-barred examination of our collective refusal to grow up.

Tune in, buckle up, and prepare to face the adult in the mirror—before Peter Pan steals your future too. 🪞🚫
