Lauren & Lindsay talk with Carrie Taylor Shea about how Journey College Planning guides students and their families through customized post-high school planning that takes each student’s unique strengths, passions and needs into account. It is especially important for students with divergent thinking to take a holistic approach to planning this next phase of their lives and to put together school applications that paint a picture of who they are and all that makes them unique. We talk about gap years, two-year colleges, transferring schools, and the importance of open and transparent communication among families as they navigate this process.
Mentioned in this Episode:
Journey College Planning slows down the planning process to look at each individual’s strengths and passions in order to find programs that are best suited for them, while also keeping finances in mind.
JCP then follows students through the application process, graduation, and school, helping them secure both academic and living accommodations and troubleshooting whatever problems arise.
Anyone feeling overwhelmed by the planning process or stuck having made a choice that wasn’t right for them should know this resource exists.
