Maybe you’re feeling left behind and confused as all your peers head off to more prestigious colleges than yours. Or, maybe you’re feeling lost and alone in your battle with mental health. Whatever season you might be in, as frustrating as it can be, the unknown parts that don’t make any sense hold a purpose.
Tess Reardon’s academic and career story is a great example of this. From feeling like an outcast in college, working hard to stay sober during a pandemic, to feeling extremely lost after leaving her first job of six years, Tess has experienced her fair share of seasons of unknowns. Though, without these seasons, she wouldn’t find herself where she is now, working in Marketing & Business Development for Mare’s House, a recovery house for women.
In this episode of Success is Subjective, Tess joins Joanna to share her journey going from an addict who felt alone and lost, to working with women in their own recovery journeys, allowing them to be seen and heard. Listen in to gain insight on the importance of seasons of unknowns and the truth behind them.
