Success is Subjective: Real People. Raw Stories. Embracing a Non-Linear Life!
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 283: Obtaining College, Career and Mental Health Success with Psychiatrist Dr. Bianca Busch
It’s not uncommon for successful high school students to get to college and find themselves hit with the reality that their former education wasn't nearly sufficient enough to help them feel confident and equipped for the rigorous academics that lay in front of them. For others, this process of pursuing a degree can be infinitely more daunting with any undiagnosed mental health conditions, as was the case for today’s Success is Subjective guest, Dr. Bianca Busch. While Dr. Bianca is now an esteemed psychiatrist with many accomplishments under her belt - career, personal, and academic - she fought hard… harder than many to get to where she is now. After years of struggling through college, knowing she wanted to go to medical school but having a very difficult time with the sciences, Dr. Bianca was encouraged by a boss and mentor to get testing done. The test results helped Dr. Bianca understand herself better and gave her a confidence boost that encouraged her to continue her education. With a new understanding of how her brain works, a huge perspective shifted for her: she realized she wasn’t stupid, as she once felt, but rather, she needed a different approach to her studies. Now as the founder of The College Psychiatrist, and author of Test Anxiety No More, Dr. Bianca Busch brings the desperately needed morale boost to college students and their families. This episode is deeply enriched with wisdom, perspective, and numerous resources for listeners to cling to.
