Not Knowing What’s Next — Sanya’s Story

In this episode, I sit down with Sanya — a recent university graduate — to talk about what real life looks like after school.And in keeping with Flashback Files’ theme of honesty and transparency, we left the “behind-the-scenes” conversation in the beginning. No polishing, no pretending. Just real people figuring it out.Sanya opens up about:Starting university in the middle of COVIDFeeling lost while everyone else “seemed” to have a planGetting her first jobs in bankingFeeling pressure to choose a career before she even knew what she likedBombing interviews (and what she learned from that)Why networking never worked for her… until her mindset changedLanding a role at BMW, even when she doubted she belonged thereDiscovering fulfillment outside of her 9–5 through helping foster youth with financial literacyThis episode is for anyone who: feels behind doesn’t know what they want to do yet is burnt out from job applications thinks they need everything figured out by graduationThere’s no “perfect path” after school.Sometimes you get lost. Sometimes you get lucky.Sometimes the thing you didn’t plan for becomes the turning point.Thanks for listening to Flashback Files — real stories, real lessons, no perfection required.
