College and Career Clarity
If you’re the parent of a 15 to 25-year-old and you’re worried they don’t have a clear direction for what comes next, you’re not alone.
Too many young people are asked to make big decisions about their future without a process to figure out what actually fits. When they guess, wait, or follow the wrong advice, it often leads to wasted time, lost momentum, and frustration.
College and Career Clarity helps families prepare their teen or young adult to launch into adulthood with clarity and confidence.
Hosted by Lisa Marker-Robbins, a career coach with over 30 years of experience, this podcast focuses on what actually leads to a successful launch: building self-awareness, exploring options, and validating the right path before making high-stakes decisions.
You’ll learn:
• How to help your teen or young adult build real direction before choosing what’s next
• How to avoid common missteps that leave young people stuck, starting over, or lacking confidence
• What it actually takes to move forward with clarity, confidence, and traction
Whether your teen or young adult is planning for what comes after high school, navigating college, or already out and trying to find their path, this podcast will give you a clearer way forward.
