About this listen

In this timely episode, I sit down with Shellee Howard, founder of College Ready, to dive deep into how parents can truly support their teens through the college preparation and application journey, without burning them out or blowing the relationship.


We chat about:

  • The biggest mistakes parents make at this time (and how to avoid them)
  • Emotional support during application season
  • Why less involvement can sometimes be more
  • How to keep your teen’s mental health intact while still striving for success
  • Debt-free college planning and practical pathways
  • The difference between passion and purpose (and how to guide your teen in finding theirs)
  • When it's worth hiring a mentor instead of playing both coach and parent


This one is especially valuable for all parents, even if you are not in the US, the emotional and practical insights are universal.
