There’s a lot with college transition. As a parent who’s done this twice already, I can tell you that there are always things you wish you did or said differently. Yep, I’ve been on a college campus for a minute for sure, but that does not mean I did everything right. I had some parental regrets that you can learn from.
I made mistakes. Not happy about it, but I get to pass on my experiences and lessons so you can benefit. It’s a little personal in this episode and it’s all from a place of reflection and a desire to help you on your journey.
