This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Joanna Lilly, a consultant who specializes in helping young adults (18+) navigate that tricky period between high school and, well, the rest of their lives.
You know how we always hear that there's only one path to success? High school, college, job, family, rinse and repeat? Well, Joanna's here to shake things up a bit. Her approach is all about recognizing that success looks different for everyone, and that's okay!
Here are some highlights from our conversation:

Joanna works as a sort of "matchmaker" for young adults, helping them find the right fit - whether that's outpatient treatment, residential programs, gap year experiences, or just figuring out next steps.

We talked about my own non-traditional college experience (spoiler alert: I may have ghosted my roommate and left college without telling anyone... oops!).

Joanna shared some great insights about the growing acceptance of gap years and alternative paths, especially since the pandemic.

We discussed how parents can support their kids during this transition, even when things don't go according to plan.

Joanna has a podcast called "Success is Subjective" where she interviews people about their non-linear paths to success. Guess what? I was a guest!

If you're a parent of a teen or young adult, or if you work with this age group, I really think you'll find this episode valuable. And hey, even if you're just curious about different life paths, give it a listen!
You can find all the links to Joanna's website, podcast, and resources below. Oh, and she has this super helpful freebie on her site - a list of the top six forms parents should have their kids fill out before college. Trust me, it's gold!
