Starting college is a whirlwind of excitement and nerves, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In this episode of 'M.A.Y.A: My Ambition Your Ambition', Maya Akai teams up with Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi, a Certified Behavior Analyst, to break down the highs and lows of freshman year. They dive into the nitty-gritty of social adjustments and the evolving sense of self that every young adult faces.

The conversation sheds light on the importance of treating college students as young adults rather than kids who need constant oversight. Helicopter parenting? It's time to ground those choppers. Instead, Maya and Dr. Cirincione-Ulezi encourage parents to teach their kids to advocate for themselves and embrace the inevitable discomforts that come with change. They also discuss the perks of having a job during college and how the right words can make a world of difference when talking to young adults.

And if your child isn't thriving, it might be time to reassess their college experience. This episode is packed with practical advice, heartfelt support, and a sprinkle of humor to help both parents and students navigate this pivotal time.
