Hey and welcome to Quarter Life Questions - the podcast that makes adulting a little less confusing.
Hosted by Grace McIntosh (a fellow twenty-something who's just trying to figure it all out), this weekly show dives into the big and small questions we all have in our twenties - from money and careers to relationships and mental health.
There’s no manual for adulthood (sadly), but this might be the next best thing.
Each episode features honest chats, expert advice, and zero fluff. Just practical answers to the questions we were never taught in school but now need desperately.

New episodes drop every Wednesday.

Relationships can be exciting, messy, intense, and confusing — especially in your twenties. But sometimes, what feels like “passion,” “chemistry,” or someone being “really into you” can actually be early signs that something isn’t right. And when you’re in it, it can be really hard to tell the difference.
So this week, we’re diving into a big Quarter Life Question:
How do you spot early signs of unhealthy or abusive behaviour - and what does a genuinely safe, supportive, fear-free relationship look like?
I’m joined by Debbie Beadle, CEO of FearFree, a UK charity supporting people experiencing domestic abuse, sexual violence, or unhealthy relationships. Debbie has spent years working directly with survivors and helping people understand the subtle, early warning signs before abuse escalates.
