Episode 248 - Your Journey Isn’t Supposed to Look Like Anyone Else’s with Cynthia Coufal Artwork

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 248 - Your Journey Isn’t Supposed to Look Like Anyone Else’s with Cynthia Coufal

September 10, 2024 • Joanna Lilley, MA, NCC • Season 3 • Episode 248

On today’s episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna welcomes Teen Anxiety Coach and fellow podcaster, Cynthia Coufal. Cynthia’s fascinating story from growing up on a rural farm in Kansas to secretly dropping out of school, to becoming a school counselor, then an entrepreneur and life coach is proof that there is no one path to success. Joanna and Cynthia discuss how sometimes parents need to let go of their expectations and let their child figure it out on their own - and how failure and learning how to figure things out is vital for the next generation to become contributing members of society.
