TOP TIPS
Recognise and accept that this is a major life transition and so might be tricky.
Realise that there's no blueprint for our generation and that we're still trailblazers.
Don't expect your experience to be the same as other peoples. We're all different and there's no one size fits all.
Work out what matters for you and design your own map for the future. Anything goes. It's a time of creativity.
Seek out others who are going through the same thing at the same time. For example, enrolling on one of Jane's courses.
