Welcome to the Office Hours With Jenn podcast! Each week, you'll receive a gentle reminder or mantra and an action item--in 20 minutes or less--to help you better navigate your career, relationships and spiritual, mental and emotional health in your 20's.
Hey 20-something! Come on in! Take a seat.
Let me guess: you're here because you're feeling disillusioned with your 20’s? Feeling a lack of purpose or not experiencing the career success you want?
Maybe you’re not sure if you should take that job in a brand new city or whether you should break up with your significant other? Perhaps you’re just wondering how to leave your job at the coffee shop and move out of your parents house. Whatever decisions--small or large--you’re struggling with in your post-college life, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to Office Hours with Jenn. I’m your host, mentor and older, wiser sister you’ve never had or didn’t know you needed, Jenn Prentice. Over the past 13 years of teaching at universities like North Carolina State and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, I’ve helped hundreds of college students and 20-somethings find purpose, achieve professional success and create a vision for their future.
Personally, in my own journey as a 20-something, I struggled and overcame an eating disorder, lived through two fairly traumatic break ups, lived with anxiety and went to countless hours of therapy--big proponents of therapy in this office. I also went to grad school in my 20’s, moved across the country for a guy I barely knew, launched my career, married and had a baby with that guy I barely knew...and figured out exactly who I was and what I wanted to do with my life.
The truth is, your 20s can be way scarier and more confusing than people, the internet or the movies tell you that they are, but they don’t have to be. In her book, The Defining Decade, (a must-read for every young adult) psychologist Meg Jay, says “20-somethings are like planes getting ready to take off at LAX--bound for an exciting destination.” But as anyone who’s boarded a plane knows, there’s a list of things you should and shouldn’t do for a successful landing.
Think of me as your co-pilot on the journey through your 20’s--this podcast is your instruction manual.
Each week on Office Hours With Jenn, we’ll cover a topic that will help you navigate careers, relationships and spiritual, mental and emotional health in your 20’s.
I know 20-somethings don’t have a lot of time--and honestly, as a 30-something, I don’t either--each episode will (appropriately) be 20 minutes or less and include a gentle reminder or mantra and one action you can take THAT WEEK to move toward the destination-and the future-- you’ve always wanted.
It’s my hope that our time together helps you feel a little more grounded as you go into your week, more confident in the decisions your have to make and more excited about your personal life and your career.
