<p>The transitional phase that no one really talks about: graduating college to the professional world. &nbsp;This episode explores many of the emotions, feelings, and experiences one feels leading up to graduating college and then transitioning into the professional world. &nbsp;This life transition is a huge part of many 20 year old's life experience but can often feel like someone throwing you off the deep end and letting you figure it out.&nbsp;</p> <p>My guests, hosts of the podcast Y.E.S. - Yoko, Emily, and Sandy and I, discuss our current life experiences with our mid-20 crisis. &nbsp;We are all in different parts of our 20s, with some of us still in college, some just about to graduate college, and some currently working in the professional world. &nbsp;We share the struggles we endured and currently live with, including high family expectations, mental health struggles, and feeling lost in purpose. &nbsp;We are not here to give you solid solutions for your life problems but rather we are here to create space for you to exist in this mid-20 crisis and to take in all the bad and good that surrounds you. &nbsp;No one is ever too young or too old to experience a life crisis but it's how you go through that crisis that can change your life. &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Follow the Y.E.S.
