This episode of "Successful Student Transitions: A Time to Thrive" features Jillian Reilly, author of the upcoming book: The 10 Permissions, in a discussion about navigating profound change in today's unpredictable world. The conversation directly addresses how traditional models of security and success no longer serve us, particularly for young people transitioning from education to early adulthood.

The conversation provides crucial insights for both students feeling lost and parents grappling with their fears about their children's future, urging them to foster space for individuals to find their own path.

Listen as we discuss:

• The career and choices that informed Jill’s current work and insights on navigating change
• Why the old script is broken and what this will mean for how we move forward in the future
• The declining tole of tradition and the need to embrace an unfamiliar future
• The need for individuals to cultivate internal security and the role of personal agency and choice as one’s ‘greatest power and tool’.
• The importance of listening to intuition and building a ‘toolkit’ of capabilities and experiences rather than seeking a fixed ‘lifetime identity’.
• The Ten Permissions created by Jill that offer practical framework for individuals to "flip the script" from "following the way to finding your own way,"
