In this episode, Julie shares practical, hard-won advice: expect a late-night "emotion dump" phone call, resist the urge to fix everything (or post about it on social media), anticipate personality whiplash, and let your kid write their own story — even if it looks nothing like you imagined.
Bottom line: Stay off the roller coaster, don't panic, and trust the work you've already done.
College drop-off is a wild time. And it doesn't necessarily get easier. But we can anticipate the roller coaster *and* choose to stay off of it. If you're dropping a kid at college, my heart is with you. If you might be in the future, I hope these notes are helpful.
