Gen Z Take Over: How to Help Launch Them Successfully

In this episode of Call Her Boss, I discuss the critical life skills that every 18-year-old should have before stepping into adulthood, whether they're heading to college, taking a gap year, or entering the workforce. As a mother of a college freshman and two young Gen Alphas, I delve into the importance of financial literacy, time management, self-care, housekeeping, and effective communication. By sharing my own experiences and tips, I aim to help parents and young adults ensure they are equipped to thrive, not just survive, in the 'big bad world.' Whether you're a parent or a young adult yourself, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you navigate the journey to independence successfully.
