125: College or Not series: Helping Your Child Identify the Future that is Right for THEM w/ Oie Dobier

I hope that the first episode of our College or Not Series helped you find resources in supporting your child in determining their passion in life. For this week, we will have the second installment of the series which will tackle figuring out if college is the right path for your child and supporting your child in finding careers that are fulfilling for them (and not what we think is right for them). So much of respectful parenting is about setting aside our preconceived notions of how children "should" be and learning to accept and parent the child in front of you, and educational choices should be no different!
​
To help me in this conversation, I brought in Oie Dobier. She is the founder of Project Who Am I where she, along with her daughter, helps students who are struggling with their career choices discover their natural talents, passions, and values so they can pursue a fulfilling career.

You can find Oie on projectwhoami.com and they have a special free guide for those who have teens (yay!). GET IT HERE.

​They are also on Facebook and Instagram (her daughter, Nya, shares lots of stories and reels on teenage perspectives) so be sure to follow them.
