Not Knowing What’s Next — Sanya’s Story

In this episode, I sit down with Sanya — a recent university graduate — to talk about what real life looks like after school.

And in keeping with Flashback Files’ theme of honesty and transparency, we left the “behind-the-scenes” conversation in the beginning. No polishing, no pretending. Just real people figuring it out.


Sanya opens up about:


  • Starting university in the middle of COVID

  • Feeling lost while everyone else “seemed” to have a plan

  • Getting her first jobs in banking

  • Feeling pressure to choose a career before she even knew what she liked

  • Bombing interviews (and what she learned from that)

  • Why networking never worked for her… until her mindset changed

  • Landing a role at BMW, even when she doubted she belonged there

  • Discovering fulfillment outside of her 9–5 through helping foster youth with financial literacy



This episode is for anyone who:

feels behind

doesn’t know what they want to do yet

is burnt out from job applications

thinks they need everything figured out by graduation


There’s no “perfect path” after school.

Sometimes you get lost. Sometimes you get lucky.

Sometimes the thing you didn’t plan for becomes the turning point.


Thanks for listening to Flashback Files — real stories, real lessons, no perfection required.
