In this episode, Dipti sits down with older sister Sheena, a mom of three teenage boys in high school, to talk about the high-stakes pressure of raising teens today. From internships and extracurricular overload to letting our kids fail (gulp), we unpack how modern parenting is often a balancing act between guidance and hovering.

We dive into:

• The pressure cooker of today’s high school experience

• How to find meaningful internships and extracurriculars

• Letting go of control and trusting your teen’s journey

• Building real-life skills that colleges (and life) actually care about

• The emotional rollercoaster of being a helicopter parent in a competitive world

Whether you’re deep in the trenches of high school parenting or it’s right around the corner, this episode is your reminder to take a breath, zoom out, and parent with purpose — not panic.
