Dealing with the post-grad identity crisis
We've all heard about the post-grad identity crisis but have we really thought about how to actually deal with it? Being a twenty something is confusing and it's even more confusing when we don't allow ourselves to deal with the shift from being a student to adulting. In this episode, Jennifer explores how she's exiting the denial phase of the effects of post-grad life and how she's working to accept this transition.
