Episode 141 - Getting Past Unknowns —Tess Reardon

Maybe you’re feeling left behind and confused as all your peers head off to more prestigious colleges than yours. Or, maybe you’re feeling lost and alone in your battle with mental health. Whatever season you might be in, as frustrating as it can be, the unknown parts that don’t make any sense hold a purpose. Tess Reardon’s academic and career story is a great example of this. From feeling like an outcast in college, working hard to stay sober during a pandemic, to feeling extremely lost after leaving her first job of six years, Tess has experienced her fair share of seasons of unknowns. Though, without these seasons, she wouldn’t find herself where she is now, working in Marketing & Business Development for Mare’s House, a recovery house for women. In this episode of Success is Subjective, Tess joins Joanna to share her journey going from an addict who felt alone and lost, to working with women in their own recovery journeys, allowing them to be seen and heard. Listen in to gain insight on the importance of seasons of unknowns and the truth behind them.What You Will LearnThe toxic prestigious school comparison game The challenging adjustment of moving to a big college after high schoolTess’s pivotal experience studying abroad in London Feeling out of alignment Tess’s delusional stage following graduating collegeTess’s interesting addiction journey in and out of college The unexpected effect of leaving her first job after being there for 6 yearsThe uncomfortable stage of unknowns How Tess’s job at Mare’s House came about and how it’s evolvedWhat success looks like for Tess and her personal journeyYou are not alone Connect with Tess ReardonMare’s House RecoveryMare’s House Recovery on InstagramConnect with Joanna Lilley  Success is Subjective WebsiteLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Instagram Lilley Consulting on Facebook Success is Subjective on Apple PodcastSuccess is Subjective on Google PodcastSuccess is Subjective on iHeart RadioSuccess is Subjective on SpotifySuccess is Subjective on StitcherSponsored by: College AlternativeEmail [email protected]
