Join Rebecca and Seth as they share their emotional rollercoaster of helping their son Max through the grueling and inspiring college application process—with laughter, lessons, and a happy ending.

They talk about safety in schools, rejection heartbreaks, and the ultimate joy of acceptance—all while juggling parenting and life. This episode will feel like a warm, wise hug if you're a parent going through this (or gearing up for it). Key Takeaways ➤ Every child is different—no cookie-cutter approach to college. ➤ Build a unique resume that sets your child apart. ➤ Apply to a mix of dream, target, and safety schools. ➤ Understand the difference between early decision and early action. ➤ Don't put all your eggs in one basket—emotionally or strategically. ➤ Essays and continued letters of interest really matter. ➤ Keep the conversation open—your child’s happiness matters most. ➤ Letting go is hard, but the growth is worth it. 💬 Quote from Rebecca "I kept my mouth shut at times when I shouldn’t have. I would have gotten a little more involved and explained to Max why I felt the way I did. That’s what I’m learning for next time." 💬 Quote from Seth "It has been over a year of tours, essays, applications, and stress—but hearing Max scream 'I got in!' was the best sound we’ve ever heard." 🎓 Rebecca and Seth invite parents to prepare early, stay informed, and breathe through the ups and downs of the process.
