About the Author

Jamie Lambert’s journey into adulthood began at the age of 20, when she got married and was suddenly faced with the complex task of becoming an adult while navigating the ups and downs of married life. It was a whirlwind of challenges, growth, and, at times, overwhelming moments. Like many, Jamie learned things the hard way—figuring out how to balance the responsibilities of life without a clear guide. Looking back, she often reflects on how much easier it could have been if she had a resource to help her navigate the complexities of adulthood.
It wasn’t until Jamie’s niece and nephew started stepping into adulthood that she truly recognized the gaps in what young people know—and just how much they depended on her for guidance. From the simple things like managing money to the bigger, life-defining choices, Jamie realized that there was so much information missing from the standard education system. This realization sparked a deep desire to help fill that gap, to provide a guide for young adults who, like her, might not have all the tools they need to truly succeed.
Jamie’s motivation for writing stems not only from wanting to give her niece and nephew the knowledge they needed but also from the desire to ensure that her own child would have more opportunities than she had. She wants to provide the kind of guidance and insight that she wished she had at that age, to save others from learning everything through trial and error.
Despite all she’s learned, Jamie is still in the process of figuring out adulthood. She’s walking the same path as so many young adults—learning, evolving, and striving to do better every day. She’s right there with you. Her hope is that this book will serve as a guide, a companion for those navigating the challenges of growing up, and a reminder that you’re never alone on this journey.
Jamie is passionate about helping others succeed, and through her writing, she hopes to make the adulting journey a little bit easier, one step at a time.
