As we get ready to turn the page on a new year, you may be facing the transition of your child graduating from high school this spring. I remember the pride and joy of that time for my boys, but I also remember it being a really hard year for me as a mom.

So when I connected with Karen Jolly in Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger Podcast FB group, I knew I wanted her as a guest on the show.

Karen is the author of “The Journey of Love and Letting Go: Navigating Your Child's Senior Year with Grace”. We talk about her path to writing her book and encouragement for you if your child’s senior year isn’t going as you planned.

Plus Karen shares self-publishing tips especially for you in the empty nest season and also what’s working well for her to market your book.
