Think back to a time in your life when you were going through something difficult. A time when the tides weren’t moving in your favor and things may have felt overwhelming or uncertain. Most of us have been there at least once in our lives. So how do we cope in these instances? How do we drown out all the noise, listen to our inner voice, and pave a path forward that’s intentional and aligns with our own best interests?

In today's episode, I continue the story of one of the most difficult times in my life. Reconnecting with a past boyfriend, and eventually marrying him despite all the warning signs and red flags, was not an easy journey for me. The silver lining is that it taught me a lot about resilience and what it means to learn and grow from these experiences. Today, I can look back and easily pinpoint all the ways in which I ignored my intuition, hoping against hope that my story, our story, would turn out the way I’d written it in my mind.

Tune in and listen to the fourteenth episode of I Can Do This Show Me How! as we continue to explore what it means to be resilient and how to harness adversity and use it to learn and grow.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why I think it’s important to talk about money (5:30)
• What I began to develop when I started to manage my finances the right way (6:58)
• How you navigate relationships when you don’t have positive role models growing up (8:54)
• About my story of reconnecting with my future (at the time) third husband (9:25)
• How my friends reacted when I told them I had plans to get married imminently (16:03)
• Why the realization that I wasn’t responsible for repairing cracks in my relationship didn’t come easily (26:55)

As adults, we are often resistant when it comes to change. Things like changing jobs, stepping into new professional roles, or even going back to school can seem daunting and full of the unknown. In these situations, the fear or nervous anticipation that comes with starting on a new life journey can be difficult to get past and navigate without some sort of external guidance or insight.

In today's episode, I share why mentorship is so important for adults, particularly those embarking on new journeys after having grown accustomed to the routine and safety of their day-to-day lives. I share insights about how to make the most of being a mentee and how to pick the right mentor as well as my own experience of being a mentee and how it changed my own life.

Tune in and listen to the thirteenth episode of I Can Do This Show Me How! and take that first step towards mentorship.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why I believe adult mentorship is a crucial resource for those pursuing education or transitioning to new careers (1:26)
• Some red flags to look out for when searching for the right mentor (6:24)
• About my experience as a mentee at the beginning of my life-changing journey (7:09)
• About my life before I started my academic journey (10:39)
• What I’ve learned from all my mentors (19:15)
• Some guiding principles to help you as a mentee (23:17)
