Author, speaker, and mom of two adult daughters, Kelly Radi sat down with me to talk about raising teenagers.  In the first of this Education Series, Radi also reiterates that we should use the college application process as a teachable moment.   

We talked about:

- keeping the line of communications open with our teens and young adults; 

- using the college application process to cement their learning about money & finance; and

- learning to let go when the time is right

Kelly is the author of Out to Sea: A Parents Survival Guide to the Freshman's Voyage and Wonder-Full: Activate Your Inner Superpowers--No Cape Required

Don't Parent in Silence

Hello Solo Moms. As a solo mom of three adult sons, I understand the challenges you face on a daily basis. As a mentor, my mission is to help you shift your mindset and empower you to take control of your life, to see yourself as God sees you. I know that unresolved trauma can be a heavy burden to carry and parenting alone can be a lonely journey, but it doesn't have to be that way. I want you to know that you are not alone. You have the strength and resilience to overcome your challenges and create the life you desire.
