End of an Era: Chloe's Podcast Apprenticeship Journey (Ep 91)

Kelly Jackson opens by previewing the 10-day Festival of Whatchawant in Baton Rouge (July 7–16) and then welcomes back Chloe, her podcast apprentice, for a candid conversation about “conscious becoming” in the liminal space between college and full adulthood. Chloe shares how graduating early challenged her expectations, why uncertainty can be fertile ground for possibility, and how her career interests evolved from traditional journalism toward a more balanced role in sports. She reveals her decision to pursue a master’s in sport administration in Louisville while keeping podcasting as a future creative outlet. Together they discuss brain development, redefining independence as asking for help, advice for teens and parents navigating college stress, and practical guidance for new college students on reaching out, staying open-minded, and embracing growth.

From the Episode:

• " ...that's a lot of time where a lot of life changes have happened, and I've made a lot of personal decisions on the journey that my life is about to take, and I feel like everything Kelly is talking about with how you have to be conscious with your choices and who you really wanna become, that's definitely where I'm at right now."
• "  Maybe our entire life is a weird in-between 'cause we're constantly becoming."
• " When nothing is certain, anything is possible Uncertainty isn't always a bad thing, and it can create lots of room for possibility and pure potentiality."
• "  And it's a hard reality to come to terms with, like, what I thought I wanted to do and what I spent so much time focusing on isn't actually where I am headed."
• " So if there was really anything that I wish I could like nail on the head for lil' old me, I wish I could go back and say, "This choice is only yours and no one else's." "
