Welcome back to Navigating Joy Together. In this episode, Mark and I discuss what life is like two months into our daughter being away at college. How do we feel about it? What is our normal family life like now?

We also discuss our first couple visits to her college. The first was for her first race and the other for family weekend. How did it go? What did we notice about her?

Finally we share some great tips on letting go from the book, Letting Go A Parents Guide to Understanding the College Years by Karen Levin Coburn and Madge Lawrence Treeger.

Some tips I have learned is do not burst your child´s bubble. Be a good listener without judgement, do not insert opinions unless asked, do not bombard with questions every time you talk with your child and let them problem solve on their own using resources at the college.

We hope you find value in our experience and from this conversation. We would love to hear your take away(s) and/or your experiences. You can reach us at the links below.

Please share this episode with one person whom you know will find value in this conversation.

This episode continues the conversation of how to find joy when preparing and/or sending your child off to college. I sit down with 3 friends who all have experience, yet different perspectives. One mom has only one child, her daughter who is sophomore in college. Another friend is a single mom who has 2 children, one a sophomore in college and the other one in high school. The third friend has 2 children, one a senior and the other a sophomore, both in college.

They each have wonderful perspectives on their experiences they have gone through and are currently going through.

Take a listen and share what resonated with you.

Share this with one person who you know will find value in this.

We are back!!!

It has been a year since we released a new episode. This past year was busy and I wanted to focus my time and be 100% present with my family and for my daughter who was as high school senior last year.

She is heading to college now, this weekend, and I had to ask other parents, How do you find JOY as your child prepares and leaves for college?

I received wonderful ideas and thoughts. Take a listen and enjoy what you hear! I know you can find value in this whether you have already sent kids out on their own after high school or you will be in the future.

I would love to hear your thoughts so email me or message me on IG or FB and tell me how you find JOY during this time.

And PLEASE, share this episode with one person you know would find value.

Thanks for listening!
