Hey all and welcome to The 7 Nightingales Center new blog series, “Out of the Nest”, a blog focused on the Millennial/Gen-Z post grad experience.

They are hitting branches and getting caught in the rain…but nevertheless they persist; trying to reach the open sky, where they can glide a bit more smoothly.

My name is Robin (no, I am not the incredible Kerri) and as a Millennial/Gen-Zer (born in 1995), I am learning to fly as well. Through this blog, I will be discussing some of the struggles I have dealt with in my first two years out of college. My focus primarily will be on navigating
Most importantly, I will also be including helpful articles, as well as tricks and strategies I have learned, that can offer some guidance and help you work through similar struggles, or for parents, help understand the everyday problems your child might be facing.
For now, stay tuned every Thursday for a new post – and always feel free to ask questions or leave a comment! Til next week…
~ Robin
