585: Is Your Student Prepared to Function in College Without You?


Listen Later

College brings a sudden surge in independence—and for many students, that shift reveals just how much they’ve been relying on others to manage their routines.

In this mini-episode, we explore:

  • Why summer is the ideal time to practice daily and weekly routines
  • The importance of identifying what habits actually work (and which don’t)
  • Questions students should ask now: Who’s keeping me on track—me or someone else?
  • What needs to shift before college to stay on top of wellness, time, and responsibilities
  • From remembering medication to setting sleep schedules, students need to own their habits before the first day of class—not after the first crisis.

    60% of first year college students are underprepared to succeed. LAUNCH is a flexible summer-before-college program that equips students with the learning, mindset, and productivity skills they need to THRIVE starting Day 1.
