As a young adult, balancing society’s expectations while feeling the weight of your future resting on the decisions you’re making right now can feel overwhelming. 

In this week’s episode, Amy sits down with Leah Leverich to dive into what it truly means to prepare for the future with confidence. Leah, a recent high school graduate and social media manager, shares her journey of exploring career paths, gaining financial literacy, and building confidence in her unique path, a journey she hopes will inspire other young women navigating their own choices. 

Key Topics Discussed: 

• The benefits of exploring options early through job shadowing, internships, and part-time work to discover your strengths and weaknesses

• Leah recounts her decision to pursue a career instead of the expected college path, embracing entrepreneurship and financial independence, and encouraging others to stay true to themselves, even when it’s different from the crowd

• Practical tips for building a secure financial foundation through budgeting basics, saving in high-yield accounts, and starting early with investments like IRAs 

• How a straightforward approach to budgeting is essential for transitioning to adult life with confidence

• The challenges of feeling left out and the importance of creating a support system through networking, local events, and like-minded events 

Join us on this journey toward confident, informed decision-making–wherever your path may lead!
