Welcome back to another episode of Excuse My Grandma. It's your host, Kim. This week, we are just going to talk, me and you. Grandma Gail and I obviously have a ton of episodes coming out, but I thought this would be a good opportunity in these Excuse My Solo episodes to talk without grandma, without a guest. So it can be a little chiller. You can get to know me a little more.
I'll tell some more stories that maybe I shouldn't or wouldn't want to tell in front of grandma. So yeah, I think we could talk about different things all the time. I'll be relaxed. So I want to also hear from our listeners. What do you want to know about me? Because I honestly am an open book person.
I'm private largely compared to most influencers that I'm not posting all my friends and my boyfriend and that kind of thing. But I want to connect with everyone. I want to share experiences. And yeah, I'm curious to know what you all are curious about. So I thought this week we could talk about how the career of Excuse My Grandma came to be. I've done a solo in 2024.
I've only done two or three of them so far, but talking about like my day-to-day business of influencing. But a lot of questions I often get are, what were you doing before becoming a content creator and before Excuse My Grandma? So I will start from there.
I graduated from Cornell in 2018, and I graduated with an English and media arts degree, but I didn't have a job yet because in that industry, you basically just see the job posting when they're posted. It's not like finance or something where they take a new group of analysts every year. So very rarely is something posted – in advance of graduating.
And so right away, I was like, let's hit the ground running and look for entry level jobs. I did a lot of internships in college, both during the summers and then also when I was on my winter breaks, because I have always been very career focused. And I felt like the more experience I was able to get, then the more answers it would give me about what I want to do.
Which to an extent is true because you can't figure things out in your head. Like you really do have to live them and try things in order to see what you actually like. But the big topic of this episode is kind of going to be the confusion that you feel in your 20s on all levels. Especially career, but also relationships and really everything because... I am still dealing with this.
I'm about to turn 29. And it's very hard to not feel like every little decision you make is going to represent what your future is or... That one decision isn't calling the shots for everything to come forward. So it's like, if I decide I want to work in this industry, that's what my life is. And that's not true because people pivot and your desires pivot and all of these different things.
So I'll get into times that I've kind of experienced the questioning. And I'm an overthinker as followers of Excuse My Grandma probably know. My grandma's very calling the shots, telling me what to do. And I like mulling over every emotion, which is kind of why I lean on her because it's easy for someone else to make the decision. But it is part of growing up too.
