Ever feel like every morning is a Chinese fire drill. Your kids test your patience in moving as slowly as possible to get ready and get out of the house on time. Carpool, drop-offs, and, oh, and did we eat breakfast? Do you have your homework? Athletic equipment? Who’s picking you up? What time are you done with rehearsal, practice, tutoring? 

You’ve moved mountains all before 7:30am. Exhaustion sets in about 9am. 

Now, I want you to picture the night before college applications are due. Trust me, you do NOT want to be running around like a Chinese fire drill wondering if your teenager will actually make the deadline. You pacing the floor while your kid is still looking up the awards won in sophomore year! Ugh. That is not what I want for you. 

Parents, I don’t want you to get to November and feel rushed, feel like a nagging parent, and find yourself and your teen hitting send at 11:50pm just before the final deadline. 

No. Nope. Not on my watch. 

In today’s podcast episode:

You Will Learn: The Importance of Having a 4-Year College Admission Plan 

You Will Leave With: What To Do Prior To Senior Year and how to prepare if you’re just getting started
