Today we are live and in person in my office with Lee Cordon and Barrett Ball! My real-life friends have created a comprehensive guide for senior year and beyond. We cover the logistical, emotional, and spiritual challenges that every family walks through—from managing the college application process to preparing for big transitions at home. This conversation is packed with practical tips, encouragement, and insights every high school parent needs to hear. Here are some of the many topics covered in today’s episode:
- Building a realistic college list and setting financial expectations early
- Finding safe support systems that don’t fuel anxiety for students or parents
- Summer prep checklist: housing deposits, senior photos, Greek life, dorm lists
- What to get started on in Junior year to make Senior year more enjoyable and less stressful
- Practical gift ideas and etiquette around graduation announcements
- How to wait well with our kids and stay calm and collected to set the tone for your home
