If you're caught somewhere between lovingly shoving your kid out of the nest—or holding on for dear life—this episode is for you. Because sending them off to college is equal parts exciting and terrifying. And let’s be honest… it’s not just about them growing up, it’s about us figuring out how to let go.

Our guest, Dr. Pamela Ellis, also known as The Education Doctor®, has empowered over 30,000 families to navigate the college process without drowning in stress—or debt. Through her company, Compass College Advisory, she’s helped students gain admission to their top-choice schools with a 95% success rate, securing an average of $75,000 in scholarships per student. She’s also the author of the best-selling book What to Know Before They Go: College Edition, offering parents a roadmap for college prep that actually makes sense.

And she gets it—not just as an expert, but as a mom.

So if you’re hoping for more confidence, less panic, and maybe even some money left in the bank, you’re in the right place. Because while we raise them to leave, we also want to be steady and ready for those moments they choose to come home.
