Many of you have been on this journey with me since the potty-training days, and now you’re facing the incredible milestone of sending your kids off to college. In this episode, my friend Shellee Howard joins us to discuss the complexities of the college application process, the importance of early preparation, and strategies for securing scholarships and financial aid. 

Shellee shares her journey into becoming a college strategist and offers insights on how parents can support their children in navigating their educational paths. Here is some of what we cover: 
  • What to do if your teen doesn’t know what they want to be yet
  • How to help your child discover their core values and articulate their “why” for college
  • How to negotiate the cost of college like a pro (yes, it’s possible!)
  • Pursue meaningful extracurriculars (music, leadership, service projects, and more)
  • Which college stats matter most—and how to see through the sales pitch on college tours
