9: Transitioning from Undergrad to Grad School and Struggling with Mental Health, with Sarah Cortez

Sarah Cortez (@sarah_naiome) shares her story on her transition from undergrad to grad school. She graduated in Psychology from Marquette University and got her Masters in social work at University of Illinois at Chicago. She shares her story about the hardships of her transition from undergrad to grad school, how she struggled with mental health and had absolutely no idea what to do or how to get better, learned more about her anxiety and how to live her every day life with it, created and built her own support system to get a better understanding on her mental health, and how social media doesn’t always show the reality of every day life so it’s OKAY if you’re not living a picture perfect life.
