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 294: Transitioning From Highschool to College: Now What? With Cindy Palmer
As you listeners know, Success is Subjective is all about the winding road many people take—going from teen to adult, to an adult who’s unsure about their direction, to someone who tries out different paths… and eventually, kind of figures things out. As is the case for today’s guest, Cindy Palmer. While her family messaging instilled “college or bust”, Cindy’s path through college and beyond was anything but predictable… anything but “normal.” Though she graduated college with her degree in microbiology, she had no interest in pursuing medical school and didn’t know what to do next. An arbitrary ad at the back of a magazine led Cindy to an outdoor leadership opportunity. That was the very beginning of the zigzag road that would take Cindy all the way to founding Threshold Coaches. Listen in to hear more about Threshold Coaches and the intentional and impactful work they do to support students by helping them develop executive functioning skills and cultivate tools to help them succeed through their college education and beyond.
