We have to stop stigmatizing the people that don't go to college and rather pursue a career because we are more informed than we were then. And I'll tell you what I know: a lot of college graduates that aren't very smart at all.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and then finding the strength to climb back up. That's exactly what James Steensma did. In this episode of 'The Art of Letting Go', James opens up about his tumultuous journey through failed college attempts and the pivotal moment when a PSC diagnosis changed everything. This diagnosis was the wake-up call he needed to stop making excuses and return to school.
His story isn't just about academic success; it's about resilience, growth, and teaching his children valuable life lessons. James shares how he turned 'can't' into a forbidden word in his household, using his experiences to inspire not only his kids but also anyone struggling with setbacks. He dives deep into the importance of embracing failure as a learning opportunity, rather than a roadblock.
His candid recounting of false starts and eventual triumph serves as a testament to the power of persistence. This episode is perfect for anyone who feels like they're stuck in a rut or facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. James's humor and raw honesty make his story relatable and uplifting. Whether you're dealing with your own educational hurdles or supporting someone who is, you'll find nuggets of wisdom and encouragement here.
Tune in and discover how letting go of past failures can open doors to new opportunities.
