Finding a Job After College (Ep. 22)

In this episode, we respond to a listener who’s graduating college—and feeling completely unprepared for what comes next.With pressure from family, fear about debt, and a job market that feels uncertain, they’re stuck in a question so many people in their 20's face: What am I supposed to do with my life? Add in mixed messages about “following your passion” and the illusion that everyone else has it figured out, and it’s easy to feel behind before you’ve even started.We unpack the myth of having one clear passion, and discuss why your first job is better viewed as a stepping stone—not a lifelong commitment. This episode offers practical strategies for making decisions without perfect clarity, and building a career that supports your life—not the other way around.If you’re feeling lost, behind, or overwhelmed about your future, this conversation will help you take the pressure off—and focus on your next step instead of your entire life plan.Have a question?
