In this episode, my guest is Todd Mitmesser, a college counselor with Class 101 in Conejo Valley, CA. Todd helps families navigate the college admissions process. He works with students for several years, leading up until when they leave for college.
In our conversation, we talk about what our kids go through during the admissions process, and how we as parents can support them. We talk about subjects like how to best communicate with our kids, and how to give advice.
We discuss the importance of having lots of options to choose from, and how that lessens the stress on the whole family.
And we talk about the time period after our students are in college. We discuss the value of working during college, and we talk about one hugely valuable reframe you can use when having tough conversations.
And finally, we talk about how to embrace this big change in life, and the importance of working though the normal emotional feelings, even the grief, that come from being an empty nester parent.
As always, thanks for listening!
