Do you feel society’s pressure pushing our kids to go to college? Well, today on the Peace and Parenting Podcast I want to break free from the college-or-bust narrative! In this episode, I dive deep into the pressures our children face to go to college, not just in the U.S., but across the globe. My daughter, Esme, recently faced the daunting decision of leaving for college, sparking a candid conversation at our dinner table. From alternative paths like community college to challenging the link between grades and success, we explore the liberating notion that success isn't one-size-fits-all. So, are we overloading our children with expectations, or are we nurturing their individuality?🔗 Interested in our 1:1 Coaching? Book a Discovery Call with one of our team nowEnjoy today’s episode?
