## Resource

In 2025, our listeners contacted How To! for advice about outsmarting student loans , moving to a new city , hosting a low-key gathering , living with chronic pain , quitting a dream job , letting go of ADHD shame , and yes, losing your virginity in your 40s . Today on the show: Carvell Wallace and Courtney Martin get updates from some of those advice-seekers—and they check in with Jeff, whose family narrowly escaped an L.A. wildfire this year. Plus, what's ahead for How To! in 2026. How To! is produced by Rosemary Belson and Sophie Summergrad. Our technical director is Merritt Jacob and our senior supervising producer is Joel Meyer.
