About this listen
In this episode, Jessica and Kelly dive into the importance of advocating for your kids — whether it's snagging a coveted summer camp spot or navigating the competitive world of magnet school admissions. Kelly shares the rollercoaster of emotions when her son Beckett was waitlisted for camp and how a little persistence (and an email!) turned things around. Jessica talks about her son Dominic’s surprising lottery acceptance into a highly competitive magnet high school and why showing up and staying ready matters more than we think.
They discuss: ✅ The value of following up (and not just waiting passively) ✅ How local preferences often play a quiet role in camp admissions ✅ What to expect from highly selective magnet schools ✅ Why it’s okay to pivot plans last-minute if a better opportunity comes up ✅ Lessons learned about showing up early and staying engaged
Whether you’re a parent navigating summer planning or school transitions, this episode is packed with real-life insights on how to create opportunities — and why luck favors the proactive.
