With A Level results out this week and GCSEs just around the corner, we hope you get the results you’re looking for.

But we also know this is a time where you can feel overwhelmed, disappointed, and not sure what to do next. Maybe you’re at a crossroads and want to hear more about the options open to you when you leave school.

In this episode, Jordan talks with Conor Cotton from Not Going To Uni and Chris Rea from Prospects about the various paths you can take. From exploring the highs and lows of apprenticeships vs. university, to sharing what potential employers are looking for in candidates, we hope this episode leaves you feeling empowered with a better sense of what to do next.

Whether you opt for further education, go straight to working, or just need more time to reflect, this episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out at 18. There are ample resources and people available who can advise and support you.

Join host Jordan Spry as he talks with happiness expert, psychologist and presenter Zoe Mallett, and Megan Corless, Head of Colleague Experience at Brook Street, about what mindfulness actually is, and share practical tips on how you can be more present, set boundaries and reduce the constant overstimulation we face in our daily lives - and especially at work.
