In this episode, Lys shares her inspiring story as an out-of-province mature student who left her job after 8 years to dive into full-time studies at University. This episode is loaded with vulnerability. She talks about what it was like to find community among younger students, to adjust to new academic and financial challenges, to navigate an alcohol dependency, to practice self-care, and to develop new levels of self-awareness. She also shares a whole host of insights about student success! Thank you, Lys! Recorded July 4, 2018. Hosted by David Ip Yam. Music by Jose Miguel.
