Everyone talks about your GPA, test scores, and college apps—and while all of these things are essential, there is not enough focus on you. Who you’re becoming. What you’re learning about yourself. And how to actually use high school as a launchpad for success instead of a pressure cooker.

In this episode, we’re shifting the focus from perfection to progress. I’m sharing the mindset shifts, strategies, and personal reflections that helped me stop just surviving high school and start growing through it.

Whether you're feeling lost, burned out, or just ready to level up, this is your reminder that high school is not just about grades—it’s about grit, growth, and gaining clarity on who you want to become. 

Tune in for:

• Mindset tips that fuel your motivation and your method
• College apps advice (and opinions)
• Advice for elevating your presence and influence
• Practical strategies to balance achievement with self-respect
