EP 02: Lost in Post Grad: Don't Lie to Yourself

It's the time of year to celebrate the graduates of Fall 2020, as a fresh batch of graduates just entered the professional world. I will be talking about how life right after graduating from your undergrad, post grad, can be filled with moments of frustration and uncertainty but will eventually lead to growth. I will emphasize the importance of not lying to yourself when it comes to this uncertain time of your life.

I touch on how, after college, it is difficult trying to pursue my dreams as a child of refugees. How I navigate expressing love to my parents while pursuing my own dreams, how intergenerational trauma has impacted me, and how I worked through the reality that my parent's dreams are not my dreams - but I can still let them guide me in life.

I also talk about how redundant the 9-5 life can be and my struggles with it as I pursued therapy to help me through the transition from college to the 9-5 life. Also, I'll highlight how no one really openly talks bout the transition from college to the 9-5 life. I'm still transitioning, so this episode is to merely share my experiences so that people do not feel alone if they're a little lost in post grad life.
