Why Adulting Is So Hard, Even When You Raised an Independent Kid

Send us Fan Mail

Why does adulting feel so hard, especially when a young person first leaves home? 

College freshmen are expected to manage their schedules, responsibilities, relationships, stress, and decisions, often without the structure they have relied on for 18 years. Even a responsible student can become overwhelmed when so many changes happen at once. 

In this episode, Cynthia explains why young adults may struggle to ask for help, even when they need it, and why receiving support does not make them less independent. She also shares her own experiences with leaving college, supporting a daughter through college anxiety, and navigating the many transitions that continue throughout adulthood. 

If your college freshman is stumbling through the transition into adulthood, The Resilient Launch can give them personalized support as they learn to manage life more independently.
