Graduated and Grown

Graduated and Grown is a podcast that is focused on helping young adults, like myself, navigate life after graduation (whether that’s graduating from high school or college) and adjust to the world of adulting. There are so many areas of adulting that we aren’t taught in school: personal finance, growing/breaking off relationships, dealing with imposter syndrome, understanding health insurance, and so much more. Listeners will have access to fun yet honest conversations about life, pop culture, careers, and more on a weekly basis. Life post-grad can be so OVERWHELMING sometimes, so let’s figure out life together!

    Finding a Job Post Grad, Working in News, & Graduating in a Pandemic with Juan Alejandro Olarte-Cortes

    It's one thing to just be a human during an exhausting pandemic... but being someone who still has to go to college AND find a job? That's a wholeee different experience. In today's episode, I had the chance to catch up with Juan Alejandro Olarte-Cortes, a recent graduate of Tulane University (May 2021), and discuss his experience being a college student during the pandemic, finding a journalism job in the midst of COVID, and how he's enjoying his first job post college.

    Work-Life Balance In Your 20s: Should I be working past 5pm?!

    Some people in their twenties are GRINDING, working crazy hours at work, moving up the ranks and are 100% focused on their career... but is it bad that I don't want that same experience? Yes, I want to grow my career and move up... but I really enjoy the work/life balance that I have right now and don't want that to change anytime soon. In today's episode, I talk about the definition of W/L balance, my experience with it, and tips for improving your own balance! As stated multiple times in the podcast, I understand that Work/Life balance looks different for everyone, and my balance probably doesn't look like yours! Some people in their twenties work really demanding jobs where it's basically required to work 50+ hours a week, I don't so I'm not able to talk about balancing from that perspective (if you know someone who I should talk to though... let me know).    ---- Don't forget to rate the podcast 5 stars AND follow the social media pages:  Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/graduatedandgrown/ Podcast Youtube Channel: https://youtu.be/_WWG9nWV30c My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arioniee/ My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoC8vh0-8HSHasIGeT8qrXQ

    I Miss the Structure, Expected Next Steps and Success of College... Why is Post Grad Life Different?

    I don’t know about you, but I’m still trying to figure out who I am post grad. I’ve spent nearly 21 years of my life being a student.. and now, I’m not. In this episode, I talk to you all about my what’s been on my mind, how I need to stop comparing my identity to others, and what I miss about having that “college student identity.” I’m optimistic that as I continue to grow and experience new things, that I’ll figure out who I am, what I’m about and what my life plan is. Until then… the identity journey continues! This episode marks the end of season 2 (what a bittersweet feeling). If you haven't already done so, check out the other 21 episodes!! ---- Don't forget to rate the podcast 5 stars AND follow our social media pages:  Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/graduatedandgrown/ Podcast Youtube Channel: https://youtu.be/_WWG9nWV30c My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arioniee/ My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoC8vh0-8HSHasIGeT8qrXQ
