Ep.28: The Prize, Persistence, and a Little Patience 

This episode features a college admissions expert who shares a fresh, empowering perspective on navigating the admissions process. Emphasizing self-worth and student advocacy, she encourages students to see themselves as “the prize” and focus on finding the right-fit college rather than chasing prestige. 

Drawing from her experience as a first-generation graduate, the conversation also explores the importance of independence, holistic decision-making (beyond academics), and supportive, not controlling, parental roles.
