Episode 22 | Welcome to the Real World: Graduating Seniors Q&A Part 1 with Caroline Rose Owens and Lauren Niesen
Have you listened to our podcast yet? Find it on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts! A full directory can be found here.
On this episode I’m joined by the wonderful Caroline Owens and Lauren Niesen to tackle a whole bunch of questions from graduating college seniors! From making friends to setting boundaries to building a community and finding a parish to creating a budget to carving out time for prayer and exercise, all the way to questions like “what if I’m bad at my job?” – we get open and honest with the goal of equipping you to make the most out of these first few years post-college.
Caroline Owens is the host of the “She Believed” podcast, and graduated from Ball State University last year. She works as an account manager for Ringlet and loves investing in her community and faith! Caroline resides in Washington, DC.
Lauren Niesen is a soon-to-be graduate of the University of Nebraska Lincoln, where she studied actuarial sciences (ask her all about it!). After graduation, Lauren will be moving to Omaha to work for Gallup as a financial analyst.
Jane Kennedy is the founder of The SundayMonday, a website designed to help Christians be bold in their faith, work, and life. She works in criminal justice reform, but has also dabbled in tech marketing, pr, and federal government work. After graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2017, she spent two years in San Francisco before moving to DC, where she currently resides.
We had so much fun that we split the conversation into two episodes, so be sure to come back next week for part 2!

The International Arrivals Gate of Advent
It’s the second week of Advent, and someone needs to tell DC to decide if it’s deep winter or balmy fall! Weather commentary aside, the priest's homily this weekend provided a beautiful image of Advent: the International Arrivals gate at the airport. Picture it:...
