Mental Health in Times of Transition

**Please Note** Unfortunately the audio cut out at the end of us recording this episode 😭 so the ending is a little abrupt. I hope you all still love this episode! Graduating is supposed to be exciting, but what happens when the uncertainty of post-grad life hits? In this episode of Post Grad Clarity, I sit down with a VERY special guest—my mom, Heather McIntosh, who also happens to be a mental health therapist—to talk about the emotional rollercoaster that often follows graduation. We dive into anxiety, depression, grief, and the overwhelming pressure to have it all figured out. More importantly, we discuss practical coping mechanisms, how to separate self-worth from career success, and when it’s time to seek professional help. If you’ve ever felt lost after high school, college, or any other life transition this one’s for you! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
