016 | Pivoting to Adapt to a COVID Gap Year w/ Noémie Clemons


Listen Later

So far on her gap year, Noémie Clemons has become a certified yoga teacher and ski instructor, taken a business course, and gotten a job at a bakery... and none of this was in her original gap year plan. Noémie is such a wonderfully positive person and I loved talking to her about how, after her impressive travel plans were shattered by the pandemic, she picked up the pieces to design a new gap year that was just as rewarding and fulfilling. Be sure to check out Gap Year Exploration Month at www.instagram.com/gapyearassociation! We talked about:

  • why Noémie always knew she would take a gap year (1:12)
  • how she planned & her favorite resources (2:08)
  • her biggest inspiration to take a gap year (5:31)
  • how COVID changed her plans (6:51)
  • Noémie's experience working at a bakery (9:44)
  • the impressive list of things she accomplished on her (adjusted) gap year (11:20)
  • how she stayed motivated and structured her days (14:25)
  • why she considers a gap year to be a year "on", not "a year off"
  • dealing with naysayers (19:07)
  • her plans for college and the remainder of her gap year (21:00)
  • New Year's resolutions (26:04)
  • her favorite self-help book lately (26:42)
