Description

This week's episode is the final installment of our College or Not Series. I've heard from so many of you that you've been enjoying the series, even those of you with littles, and I'm so glad to hear that! When I was navigating decisions about my future as a child and teen, college was the *only* option presented to me by my family full of teachers and while that was the right choice for me and I'm so happy I am where I ended up, looking back I wish I'd been presented with a wide range of options. The necessity of this became even clearer as a professor guiding students who were burdened by crippling debt. I want something different for my kids, something guided by their hearts rather than society's "shoulds".

And so, we are going to be talking about how we can help kids develop a growth mindset and help them figure out who they are and their goals early on as they get closer to college. To help me in this conversation, I have Greg and Beth Langston. Greg is an expert in building high-performance teams across 10 different industries while Beth is an expert essay editor with a proven track record of helping students navigate the dreaded college applications essay process with tremendous success. Together they develop transformational self-discovery courses for high school students.

If you are interested in their self-discovery courses, you can check them out on their website: www.collegeflightplan.com.

Parenting is often lived in the extremes. It’s either great joy or chaotic overwhelm. One moment you’re nailing it and the next you’re losing your cool. I want to help you find your way to the messy middle, to a place of balance. You see, balance is a verb, not a state of being. It is a thing you DO, not a thing you ARE. It’s an action, a process, a series of micro-corrections that we make, each and every day, to keep ourselves feeling centered. We are never truly balanced, we are engaged in the process of balancing.Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Froyen, and this is the Balancing Parenting Podcast, where overwhelmed, stressed-out, and disconnected parents go to find tools, mindset shifts, and practices to help them stop yelling at the people they love and start connecting all delivered with heaping doses of grace and compassion. Join me in conversations that will help you get clear on your goals and values and start showing up in your parenting, your relationships, YOUR LIFE, with open-hearted authenticity and balance.
