The Adulting Experience: A Virtual Book Launch Like No Other!
THE ADULTING EXPERIENCE A Virtual Book Launch Like No Other
Saturday, April 4, 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM WAT | Zoom
Nobody gave us a manual for adulthood. So Olajumoke Abiodun wrote one.
'WINGING IT! ...Because Nobody Told Us Adulting Would Be This Hard' is a 73,000-word book about everything we go through but rarely talk about out loud. Money stress. Relationship chaos. Bodies that stopped cooperating. Friendships that quietly disappeared. Marriage. Divorce. Mental health. The pressure to have it all figured out while secretly Googling "is this normal?"
On April 4th, we're not doing a boring book launch. We're doing something better.

WHAT TO EXPECT
🎙️ Three raw, unfiltered panel conversations:
"What Nobody Told You About Marriage" — Married, divorced, and remarried panelists answer the question everyone whispers but nobody says publicly: what was the strangest thing you learned about marriage that no one warned you about?
"Millennials vs Gen Z: The Honest Conversation" - Two generations. One room. No filters. What do you wish the other generation actually understood about yours?
"Identity, Expression & Permission to Be" — The deeper one. When did you stop performing who everyone expected you to be? And what happened when you did?
📖 A live book reading by the author - funny, vulnerable, and the kind of writing that makes you text your best friend and say "this woman entered my head"
💬 Audience Adulting Confessions - Your chance to share your biggest adulting fail live. The best ones get read on air.
🎂 A birthday toast - The author turns 40 the next day. Bring your drink. We're celebrating.
🎵 A DJ keeping the energy right from start to finish

WHO THIS IS FOR
If you're between 25 and 50 and you've ever lay in bed wondering "is this really what we were rushing toward?" this event is for you.
If you grew up in a home where nobody explained anything and you were expected to just figure it out... this event is for you.
If you're a millennial who's tired of pretending. A Gen X who lived this story first. A Gen Z who wants to know what's coming. This event is for you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Olajumoke Abiodun is a CEO, ICF-certified executive coach, and the woman who finally stopped pretending she had it all together and wrote the truth instead. After 15+ years leading marketing strategy for brands like Chicken Republic, Wema Bank, Jumia, and Wakanow, she turned the lens inward. WINGING IT is 40 years of hard-won wisdom packed into 9 chapters and zero filter.
She's not writing from a place of having arrived. She's writing from the mess. And that's what makes it hit different.

Bring your drink. Bring your stories. Clear your Saturday afternoon.
This is not a book launch. This is a conversation we should have had years ago.
See you April 4th. 🧡
