Graduation. Milestones. Celebrations. These are supposed to be the happiest moments — but what happens after the confetti settles?

In this episode of Hello Intention, Psychotherapist and Life Strategist Shivon M. explores the emotional aftermath of big transitions that are quite typical of this time of year. Whether you're a new grad, a proud parent, or someone quietly wondering "what now?", this is your invitation to navigate the unknown with intention and compassion.

đź“· The photos have been posted. The cap has been tossed. The applause is over.
 And now… there’s silence.

In this powerful and emotionally honest episode, Shivon M. opens the curtain on what happens after the milestone moments — when the spotlight dims and we’re left with questions that feel too quiet to ask:

  • Who am I without this title or structure?
  • Why do I feel uncertain even though I just achieved something major?
  • How do I navigate the identity shift that comes after “success”?

You’ll explore not just the celebration, but the journey it took to get there — and the emotional work it takes to move forward with clarity, wholeness, and intentionality.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, a parent watching your child step into a new chapter, or someone quietly wrestling with change behind the scenes — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ The psychological shift that happens after a big milestone
 ✨ Why “I don’t know what’s next” is more powerful than we think
 ✨ How parents experience hidden grief
 ✨ Practical tools to process change instead of rushing past it
 ✨ How to root identity in being instead of achievement

🎯 Key Takeaway:
You are more than your milestone. You are worthy in the quiet, uncertain, in-between — and your next chapter deserves to be shaped with intention, not pressure.
