a look into the experience of education and life exploration

Welcome to Part 1 with Cara Evans and Lexi Pellegrino for an interesting conversation on the limited awareness our culture brings to the choice of “Gap years” – (taking a year or semester off before college). In reality, we have a choice to apply that term individually too, creating a “gap life”. Not as in being lazy, pursuing nothing, but to allow cultivation for natural motivation to arrive as well from our individual personal experience, prior to school loan debts, and locking down on a career for security. A gap-life could simply be the art of pausing and cultivating AWARENESS to any differences we may feel inside when making a choice from love rather than fear alone, as our futures are never guaranteed. We can fear pausing, or stopping our career sprint as adults, just as youth and early 20’s do. Yet without conscious awareness we spread to our youth, that pausing at all, is wasting time and is a luxury. Yet statistics show that simply is not true…This is a friendly conversation between 3 people with different experiences – one who is celebrating her choice for now, of her experience within a Gap-Life, post-college degree. Hear her stories on Part 1 of “Gap year-Gap life”.
