28. All Talk: When Therapy Feels Pointless

05/12/24 • 52 min

Now that we've (nearly) survived the end of semester crunch time, we're delighted to return to a regular podcasting schedule again. We're also excited about the new texting option for listeners. (Click the link above to try it out!)
Have you ever been overwhelmed by life circumstances beyond your control and wondered what good therapy could do? Maybe you've tried everything and concluded there's nothing to be done so why talk about it? We've been there too! Today we're unpacking those feelings and dishing about the good, bad, and the ugly of our own experiences with therapy. We discuss qualities we look for in a therapist as well as the value of reflecting on our emotional health and what important messages might be embedded in our deepest, darkest emotions.

Ever wonder how you got here as you blow out the candles on your birthday cake? That's where we begin in this episode, making space for the bittersweet emotions of milestone birthdays and the impending retirements of colleagues we admire.

In our main segment, we talk about the possibilities of the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) that can save college students serious time and money. Never heard of it? We speculate about why that might be as well as describe what it can (and can’t) do for lifelong learners curious about alternative pathways to college.

Wherever you are in your educational journey, it’s never too late to experience the joy of learning and discovery!

29. Who is Smart Enough for College?

Send us a text

Have you missed us? We’ve missed you! This episode was recorded in mid-May 2024 but not released until mid-June because of some health issues that threw a wrench in our production plans. We're happy to report that all is well and we're back in action.

-------
Many of us who are the first in our families to go to college might be held back by the worry that we aren’t smart enough for college. If that’s true for you, you’re in the right place! In this episode, we share our short quiz that will help put that question to rest once and for all.

We also suggest more useful questions to ask when considering college and wondering how it might fit into a life that already has a full plate of responsibilities. We conclude that when a strong work ethic and a positive attitude aren’t enough to help us reach big life goals, radical acceptance can often open our eyes to new strategies for overcoming obstacles in life.

Tune in for a blend of personal stories, practical advice, and heartfelt encouragement aimed at anyone navigating the barriers to higher education.
