    # 304 Simplifying College Readiness
    Jan 13 2025
    Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of college readiness for your teen? Do you wonder how to support them without adding to their stress—or yours? This episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens tackles these concerns head-on with expert guest Philip Bates, a former educator and principal, now working in college prep at UWorld. Together, Colleen O’Grady and Philip walk moms through how to prepare their teens—whether they’re unsure of their future path, striving for Ivy League dreams, or just figuring out what’s next after high school. From creating a plan for standardized testing to encouraging a growth mindset, this episode is full of actionable advice to simplify a daunting process. Philip Bates was a successful educator and school administrator for 17 years. Now he’s proud to be working for UWorld. Their mission is to develop and launch products to prepare high school students to be successful on the SAT, ACT, and AP exams. In this episode, Colleen and Philip explore practical strategies for guiding teens through the maze of college prep without adding unnecessary pressure. They discuss the importance of starting conversations early—such as casual visits to college campuses during family trips—and how to meet your child where they are emotionally and developmentally. Philip shares his personal and professional insights on balancing academic rigor, extracurricular involvement, and life skills like self-management. He emphasizes the value of listening to your teen’s goals and passions rather than imposing your expectations. With a focus on growth mindset and realistic planning, this episode provides a roadmap for navigating junior and senior years, from handling high-stakes tests like the SAT and ACT to making informed decisions about college applications. Key Takeaways: Start Early but Stay Casual: Introduce the concept of college early by visiting campuses casually during trips, but avoid pressuring your child to have everything figured out too soon. Meet them at their current developmental stage. Encourage a Growth Mindset: Standardized tests don’t define your teen’s intelligence or future. Frame them as opportunities for improvement, and help your child focus on progress rather than perfection. Self-Management is Key: Beyond academics, teach your teen essential life skills like managing their time, money, and responsibilities. These are just as critical to their success in college and adulthood as their GPA or extracurriculars. Tune in to this insightful episode for tools and strategies to empower both you and your teen on the journey to college readiness.

    # 303 Happy to Help
    Jan 6 2025
    Are you a mom juggling endless to-dos, only to wonder if it’s even possible to please a teen? Do you find yourself questioning whether perfectionism or people-pleasing is really helping you—or anyone in your family? You’re not alone, and this episode dives deep into these challenges with warmth and humor. In this episode, host Colleen O’Grady sits down with author and podcast host Amy Wilson to unpack the invisible workload moms carry, the pressures of perfectionism, and the delicate art of balancing love with boundaries. Drawing from her new book, Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser, Amy shares laugh-out-loud moments and poignant insights into why moms often overextend themselves and how they can reclaim their time and joy. They explore societal expectations, self-imposed pressures, and how moms can reset the narrative by prioritizing self-care and genuine connection with their teens. Amy Wilson is the author of the memoir When Did I Get Like This? and her latest book, Happy to Help. Since 2016 she has been the co-host of the Webby-honored podcast What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood. Amy is also an actor who appeared on Broadway and as a series regular on TV sitcoms. She lives with her family in New York City. Key Takeaways: Perfectionism Isn’t Sustainable: Moms often hold themselves to impossibly high standards, but recognizing and challenging these societal and self-imposed expectations can create space for authenticity and well-being. Redistribute the Invisible Workload: It’s not just about delegating tasks; it’s about teaching others in the household to notice, track, and take ownership of responsibilities. Connection Over Correction: Teens need to know they matter unconditionally. Balance pushing them toward their potential with simply being present and offering support without strings attached. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that you can step back, let go of perfectionism, and still thrive as a mom. Find out more at amywilson.com.
