🎓 Feeling overwhelmed by the college process? You’re not alone.

Whether your teen is unsure about their future or you’re wondering how you’ll ever afford college, this episode is packed with wisdom, clarity, and hope.

I’m joined by Shellee Howard, founder and CEO of College Ready and mom of four—all of whom graduated debt-free, including a Harvard grad. Shellee shares how she turned her own confusion and frustration into a mission to help families navigate the college process with confidence, strategy, and clarity.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

• Why most families start in the wrong place when planning for college
• How to help your teen discover who they are and what lights them up
• What makes a standout college essay (and how her son got into Harvard!)
• Why so many teens feel lost—and what to do about it
• How to explore options without pressure and avoid massive debt
• The ONE thing that can make all the difference

Whether your kid is a planner or a dreamer (or doesn’t even want to think about college yet), Shellee’s insight will help you support them with compassion, strategy, and a realistic plan.
