Do you remember your young adult years and trying to navigate the many questions you had about your future? Questions like:

What is God’s calling on my life? 
Did I choose the right career path?
Will I find the right job for me? 
What if I fail?

What if this isn’t what I thought it would be?

I remember stumbling through all of these questions. And guess what? Young women today are still navigating their way through these questions. 

That’s why I’m SO excited about today’s guest on the She Impacts Culture Podcast, Kristen Yost, one of my former students at IWU! 

In today’s episode (Part One) Kristen and I chat about:

• The expectations of females in professional work environments
• The many voices that are impacting young women today as they pursue life after college
• The challenges, obstacles, and experiences young women encounter in their first jobs upon graduation
• The pressures young women are facing to get married and have children after college 

Friends, I’m SO excited about this two-part series with Kristen! She is going to shed light on how faith-based young women are navigating the expectations of Biblical Womanhood in a Career Driven Society. 

Kristen Yost earned her Bachelor of Science from Indiana Wesleyan University's Division of Communication and Theatre where she was a student of mine. Passionate about the topic of women in the workplace, she spent her final semester at IWU researching and studying the expectations of females in professional work environments. Her final article, titled "Navigating the Expectations of Biblical Womanhood in a Career Driven Society," added the religious approach she wished to include where she took the experiences of many Christian women and incorporated practical advice for other women within similar life circumstances. 

Now in the professional workplace herself, Kristen's passions have not changed and she continues to learn more of God's calling on her career in this season of life. Initially starting her career working as a flight attendant, she quickly realized her skills and goals were more suited for a corporate workplace. She "restarted" her career working in a bank where she now thrives in a customer service oriented position and where she sees herself staying for the foreseeable future
