What if the college application process didn’t have to feel like a crisis?

In this episode, Brandon talks with Nita June, Founder of June College Counseling — an independent educational consultant who brings joy, intention, and humanity back into college admissions. With a background in theater and film, Nita helps students with ADHD and other learning differences find their voice, manage overwhelm, and approach the application process as a rite of passage, not a test of worth.

They discuss practical strategies for breaking writer’s block, balancing structure and creativity, and helping students advocate for themselves before they ever step foot on campus. Whether your teen is anxious, perfectionistic, or just stuck, this episode reframes the process as an opportunity to build executive function, resilience, and self-knowledge—skills that last long after the acceptance letter arrives.

🎧 Tune in for insight, laughter, and a much-needed reminder: this process can (and should) be joyful.
