They say home is where the heart is — but it’s also where the laundry piles up, the to-do list never ends, and something always needs fixing.

In this episode of The Grown-Ass Woman’s Guide, Beth Kindig, better known as Boomer Beth from the viral TikTok duo Boomer Beth & Gen X, shows us what it really looks like to take charge of your home and your peace of mind.

 

From finding your water shut-off valve to building a home manual (yes, like an Airbnb binder for your actual house), this episode is packed with simple, grown-ass ways to feel more confident and capable at home — even if you don’t know a wrench from a widget.
