Am I Doing This Right?

By: Corinne Foxx and Natalie McMillan
  • Summary

  • Each week, our hosts, Corinne Foxx and Natalie McMillan, cheers to the uncertainty of adulthood. And by “cheers,” they are being quite literal. A glass of wine (or two) makes this life “how to” podcast feel more like casual, after-work drinks with your best friend than a lengthy lecture. Budding business owners and best friends, Corinne and Natalie know first hand how hard it is to navigate life’s biggest milestones, from completing your first tax return to buying your first home. They often find themselves calling each other for advice, frequently asking, “Am I Doing This Right?” And thus a sisterhood of common confusion has been born. Am I Doing This Right? is not a your typical “how to” podcast. Why? Well, Corinne and Natalie aren’t experts - in fact, they’re far from it. They’re just two best friends with 26 years of life experience, and a whole lot of questions about today’s rapidly changing world. For example, How do I start my own business? Should I buy or lease my car? How do we survive student debt? What’s the best Hinge profile strategy? How do I balance work life and my personal life? Do I really need a 401k? The goal isn’t to provide all the answers, but to bring comfort to our audience knowing they aren’t the only ones asking the same questions. This evergreen podcast will act as a guide book for young people on how to kickstart their adulthood. This “learning along the way” approach makes this podcast less of a Ted Talk and more of a happy hour. For more life advice, follow us on Instagram: @amidoingthisrightpod Have a life question?

  • How To Plan A Wedding
    Dec 19 2023

    TOPIC: 

    This week we are talking about weddings and tips and tricks for your Big Day so you walk down the aisle with confidence! But FIRST — we have a very special announcement: Corinne is engaged!! 

    Then, we get into some fun facts about weddings and discuss whether a wedding planner or coordinator is necessary for your wedding. We explain the timeline of a wedding, from engagement to exchanging vows: vision inspiration, choosing your wedding party, dress shopping, registry, and do’s and don’ts of RSVP cards. Since there’s so much planning involved, an emergency wedding kit and wedding to-do lists can be essential for the Big Day. 

    Plus, Corinne shares what she’s learned during her wedding planning process and the importance of talking to recently married couples along the way. Oh, and be sure to keep an eye out on Corinne’s Instagram page (down the road) for pictures from her own wedding!
