Hi, I’m Gaby, and this is what now? – a podcast where I figure out post-college life one question at a time. I launched this show near the end of college, when everything felt up in the air and I had no clue what was next. Now that I’ve graduated, I’m navigating the “after” and all the surprises that come with it. Each week, I share what I’m learning, questioning, and sometimes totally winging as I go. No answers guaranteed, just real talk about trying to figure it out.
