You Don't Need Certainty to Choose a Path: Stef Pedersen, Midwife, on Motivation and Opportunity

If your young person knows what they want but feels afraid of the wrong choice, this helps. You do not need certainty to move forward, just a starting point. What if the thing that helps a young person thrive is not perfect grades, but internal motivation, curiosity and the confidence to grab opportunities? Stef Pedersen is a specialist midwife and clinical educator whose story is a blueprint for pursuing a passion while staying open to the twists that shape a career. She shares how she navigated Year 12, chose a brand-new double degree, juggled early placements and created her own learning opportunities. For any student or parent who feels overwhelmed about the future, Stef's honesty offers clarity and comfort. The future is not built on one score; it is built on motivation, opportunity and the courage to take the next step. More Than a Score: Redefining Success Beyond School is hosted by Laura Pitt and Dan Steele, a former teacher and award-winning school leader on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.
