## Resource

Graduation is supposed to feel like the finish line… so why does it feel like the beginning of something harder? In this episode, we talk honestly about life after high school, the pressure of “what’s next,” and what families wish they had known sooner. If this transition feels overwhelming, you’re not alone.
