🎓 Before the Cap & Gown: What I Did (and Wish I Did) to Prepare My Child for Life After Graduation 🗓 October 19th | 🕔 5PM CST / 6PM EST
Join me this Sunday to discuss a mix of real-life lessons and step-by-step guidance. This is for parents of 9th–12th graders who want to raise confident, capable, and connected young adults.
We will have a transparent conversation about the things I did and what I wish I had done to prepare my son for life beyond high school. You will leave with mindset shifts, practical tools, and a plan to help your teen thrive emotionally, academically, and financially while keeping your bond strong.
Because preparing your teen isn’t just about college — it’s about confidence, character, and connection.
Here are the topics we will discuss:
The Mindset Shift: From Control to Coaching
  • How to pivot from managing your teen to mentoring them
  • Real talk on letting go while staying connected
  • What I learned about respecting your teen’s process
Academic & Career Readiness: Passion Over Pressure
  • Helping your teen discover their path: college, trades, entrepreneurship, or creativity
  • How I used real conversations, not comparisons, to guide decisions
  • Creating experiences that build confidence and clarity early
Money, Mindset & Motivation
  • Conversations every parent should start by 9th grade
  • What I wish I knew about budgeting, scholarships, and responsibility
  • Building a “wealth mindset” instead of a “worry mindset”
Connection & Communication That Lasts
  • How to keep communication open during high school
  • Balancing empathy with accountability
The Launch Plan: A Roadmap to Readiness
  • Key milestones from freshman to senior year
  • Emotional, social, and practical prep before the move out 📌 The link will be on the 📅 calendar. Flyer in comments.
