Starting Edition - Friends, Fears and Freshman Year

 Today’s episode is a special one, titled "Friends, Fears, Freshman Year," and it’s all about that major leap from high school to college.

I’m joined by someone very close to my heart—my daughter—as she opens up about her first year away from home. We dive into what it was like to transition from the familiar rhythm of high school to the totally new world of college life. That shift—filled with excitement, uncertainty, and a whole lot of learning—set the stage for some unforgettable experiences.

We talk about her first taste of independence, the emotional rollercoaster of moving into a dorm, and learning to live with roommates she’d never met before. She shares how she found her circle of friends, navigated awkward social situations, and carved out a sense of comfort in the chaos.

From the dining hall adventures to late-night talks in the common room, this episode captures the beauty and challenge of growing up—and growing into yourself. It’s a conversation full of heart, humor, and relatable truths that anyone who's been through it—or is about to—will appreciate.
