Hey, Mom!
Stay connected to your college-bound kid! Get the emotional support you need in your back pocket.
When your child leaves for college, everything shifts – including you.
Rediscover who you are, what lights you up, and recognize the swirl of emotions you are feeling is normal, and you don’t have to do it alone!
Watch a 1-minute message from me
You meant to strip your kid’s bed. Instead, you’re three episodes into Married at First Sight. (No judgment, I’ve been there!)
Drop-off was supposed to be the hard part. Then came the “wait, who am I right now?” part.
Here’s the good news: you’re not falling apart. You’re in the middle of a big shift!

Three pockets for the hard stuff. Reach into the one(s) you need.

Take the next step!
They’re in College! Now What?
No one warns you about the seismic shifts that happen when your child heads to college.Â
Empty bedroom. Quieter mornings. Text messages replacing daily hugs. It’s not just your everyday rhythm that’s shifted—it’s your entire role as a parent.
Parenting a soon-to-be college student is an emotional whirlwind. The combination of excitement, pride, anxiety, and anticipation feels overwhelming.
These emotional ups and downs have caught you off guard. You are finding it hard to find your parenting footing.Â
There’s no perfect way to handle this transition, and trying to be a “perfect parent” won’t prepare your child (or you) for this new phase of life!Â
Your child still needs you; you want to be available to them – but how do you stay connected from the side lines?Â
These big feelings are here to stay, but let’s normalize them and give you some support.Â
You don’t have to do it alone or run to the nearest pickleball court to “work it out”.Â
