From Here to Where

Things nobody will warn you about before starting your 20’s: older men will hit on you, somebody will always rain on your parade, people pleasing is pathetic, sorority life isn't the only life, & networking is key to success. LOL.

This episode has SO many gems of wisdom it’s unreal. We hear from my college best friend Alexa Farris who is quite literally the definition of beauty and brains. She's a business woman bombshell who navigated the confusing paths of college, creepy men, friendships and internships which landed her a six figure salary after graduation. Listen to learn how she did it! 

You can get in touch with her on LinkedIn or IG @ Alexa Farris.
