Let’s face it, the college admissions process can feel like navigating a maze with no exit in sight, and as a parent, it’s easy to wonder if you’ve accidentally signed up for a reality show called “Survivor: College Edition.” With fluctuating acceptance rates, an overwhelming number of applications, and essays that seem to require a PhD just to comprehend, it’s enough to make anyone reach for a bottle of Advil and a tall glass of wine! 

But fear not! We’ve got just what you need to crush that anxiety and help you conquer the wild world of college admissions. We’re diving into the world of college admissions with Eric Tipler, MA, author of Write Yourself In: The Definitive Guide to Writing Successful College Admissions Essays. He’s like your college admissions fairy godfather (minus the wand), but fully stocked with tips. 

He knows that with acceptance rates at Ivy League schools plummeting faster than your teen’s motivation during finals week, why crafting a spectacular essay is no longer just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have! 

So, whether you’re a parent desperately trying to keep your sanity intact while your kid is elbow-deep in essay drafts and existential dread, or a student feeling the pressure of “what’s my hook?” this episode is your golden ticket. By the end of it, you’ll be armed with a toolkit for success that’ll make you feel like the ultimate admissions pro. Tune in and let’s turn those “no thanks” into “you’re in!” Because let’s face it—nobody wants to hear, “It’s not you, it’s me” from a college admissions committee!

Podcast Episode 118: Do We Parent Like Our Moms?

It’s like a rite of passage to wonder- Do we parent like our moms did? Many of us have good memories of our moms and growing up, but then…there are the not-so good things. Maybe it’s the “My house my rules!” parent statement that you heard from your parents over and over again, or maybe it’s how your parents never had any consistency with their rules growing up. No matter what experience we had, one thing is for certain- our parents influence how we parent.

How to win at allowance by NOT paying for chores

I stared at the complicated chore chart that my dad placed on our refrigerator.

42 cents for washing dishes. 20 cents for picking up my room.

When he first pitched this idea to my 10-year-old self, I wanted to do all the chores immediately.

This was my chance to earn $5 a week. Yes, I could do this!

So, I did the dishes. It took me 20 minutes and I didn’t even get enough money to buy a can of soda. Wouldn’t it be simpler to pull that red can of Coke out of our fridge?

That week, I completed a few boxes of chores from that monster list, collected my $1.15 and then ignored the list the next week.

Soon, the chore chart disappeared.
