Success is Subjective: Helping parents of college students accept that dropping out is okay

Interviews of people who took a break from life at one point or another to get help, grow up, or just to reassess their life direction. Some guests struggled with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, a death in the family, or just decided college was not the place for them. These stories are all-to-real, and yet we don't talk enough about how common it is for those who took a gap year to defer college, went to college and took a break, or those who struggled launching into the workforce post-college graduation. This goes out to all the young adults and parents of young adults who are struggling and contemplating what will happen if they walk away right now.

Episode 176- Cultivating Resiliency and Owning Your Life with Dai Manuel

March 28, 2023 • Joanna Lilley, MA, NCC • Season 2 • Episode 176

Sometimes we fall into a way of existing out of perceived or unspoken expectations from others. That was the case for Dai Manuel, who started on a path of following the footsteps of his father who was a veterinarian. Not far into school, Dai realized he was seeking his father’s affirmation, more than he was seeking his own destiny. He wasn’t passionate about what he was doing and needed to make a change. Tune in to today’s episode of Success is Subjective to learn how to identify what is for you, and what ideals and expectations to unhook yourself from.
