181. What is Kathrynne doing after high school?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jesse and I have been frequently asked what Kathrynne is doing after she graduates from high school, so we decided to do a podcast episode about it! It got us thinking about how so many of us spend so much time thinking about and worrying about the future that we are missing out on the present.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kathrynne started being asked what her plans were post-graduation at the beginning of her junior year, and constantly being asked began to take a heavy toll on her. People who were asking didn't have ill intent, but it put pressure on her because it made her feel like she was supposed to have an answer even though, as only a junior, she didn't yet.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What then would be a better question? We explore that question and offer alternatives, questions that are still well-meaning and don't put as much pressure on youth to have their entire future figured out, questions that focus on the present rather than the future. While we are by no means saying that it's not essential to have long-term goals, what we are saying is that we don't need to be pressuring kids to have a concrete answer, especially not prematurely. We are never even promised tomorrow, so savor today!</span></p> <p><strong>In This Episode</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[00:35] – We are talking about after high school today!</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[03:08] – Hear about the trip we went on recently.</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[05:40] – I reveal what has been saving my life.</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[08:03] – Has anything been saving Jesse's life lately?</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">[09:51] – I am almost finished listening to</span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Count-the-Nights-by-Stars/dp/B09RK
