Have you missed us? We’ve missed you! This episode was recorded in mid-May 2024 but not released until mid-June because of some health issues that threw a wrench in our production plans. We're happy to report that all is well and we're back in action.
-------
Many of us who are the first in our families to go to college might be held back by the worry that we aren’t smart enough for college. If that’s true for you, you’re in the right place! In this episode, we share our short quiz that will help put that question to rest once and for all.
We also suggest more useful questions to ask when considering college and wondering how it might fit into a life that already has a full plate of responsibilities. We conclude that when a strong work ethic and a positive attitude aren’t enough to help us reach big life goals, radical acceptance can often open our eyes to new strategies for overcoming obstacles in life.
Tune in for a blend of personal stories, practical advice, and heartfelt encouragement aimed at anyone navigating the barriers to higher education.
