Life Preparation
I need practical help with independence, work, money, healthcare, relationships, and adult responsibility.
A pathway is not a reading requirement.

Grown But Not Ready

It offers a whole-life readiness framework spanning education, work, money, daily competence, relationships, health stewardship, family boundaries, and personally rooted faith.
