In this special episode, I'm joined by Lucas Pezzato, a recent bachelor's psychology graduate ready to dive into the world of Clinical Mental Health Counseling!

We explore the journey from a bachelor's to a master's program and discussed the differences between pursuing a psychology bachelor's in Brazil and the U.S. We also tackle the unique challenges faced by international students. Despite the hurdles, Lucas is an inspiration. His eagerness to learn and his mantra, "find your purpose and go for it," will resonate with anyone on the brink of their master's journey.

This episode is a must-listen for those navigating the path from undergraduate dreams to the challenging yet rewarding pursuit of a master's.
