A COACHING MEMBERSHIP FOR
MOMS OF 9TH THROUGH 12TH GRADERS
You're not behind.
You're in the dark.
You’ve managed everything else in your kid’s life. This is the first thing nobody gave you the rules for. Every month I’ll tell you what actually matters for your child’s grade, what you can skip, and what to do about it. You stay the one running this. You just stop doing it in the dark.
What parents say about having me in their corner
Fair question: does any of this actually work?
Last year I worked one on one with fifteen seniors. Their families received $6,248,500 in scholarship offers.
Those were one-on-one students, not Collective members. The number tells you I know what moves a college price. It isn't a promise about your family.
The Collective is where I teach you to run it yourself.
So let me tell you what I actually want for you
Imagine when
Course registration comes around in January and you already know which classes matter and which ones don't, so that you're not googling "should he take honors bio" at eleven at night.
Imagine when
The money conversation happens in tenth grade instead of April of senior year, so that nobody in your house is crying over an acceptance letter you can't pay for.
Imagine when
Your kid brings you a college question instead of hiding it from you, so that these four years bring you closer instead of costing you the relationship.
That's the outcome. Not a fancier college list. A calmer Tuesday night.
If you've said any of these out loud, you're in the right place.
"I just don't know what I don't know."
"I don't want to mess this up."
"They've done really well in school,
so why do I feel behind?"
"It's so different from when I was applying."
"I have saved forty reels about college and I couldn't tell you what a single one of them said."
I hear these every week, Almost always from moms whose kids are doing great.
Here's what I want you to do instead: One job a month, told to you plainly, and a list of what you're allowed to put down until later.
INTRODUCING...
The College-Bound Parent Collective
A coaching membership for you, not a course your teenager takes.
Every month I tell you what matters right now for your kid's grade, what you can skip, and what to do about it.
Courses and rigor. Grades. Activities. Testing. The college list. The money. Essays and applications when it's time.
9th through 12th. One coaching relationship across 4 years, not 4 courses to get through.
What changes, in plain terms
You'll know the one job of this month
And the list of things you're explicitly not doing yet.
You won't be doing it by yourself
A real counselor and a room of moms not panicking.
It'll be out of your head
One place for deadlines, the courses, activities, and the list.
get your sneak peek...
WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN THERE
A short welcome points you at your kid's grade. From there, six places to go.
MODULE ONE
YouR GRADE
The one job of the year you're in, and everything you're not doing yet.
MODULE TWO
All four years
How a college price actually comes down. How your teen's GPA really works. The system that gets this out of your head.
MODULE THREE
When this happens
The 11 at night shelf. "Are we behind?" "We started late." "We can't afford college." Look up your situation, get a real answer, go to bed.
MODULE FOUR
What to say
The exact words. Emailing the counselor. The money conversation. Asking where they're applying without starting a fight.
MODULE FIVE
The tools
Activities log. Know your school. Affordability tracker. Requirements and deadlines. Things you fill in, not PDFs you lose.
MODULE SIX
The room, and me in it
Moms in your exact season, moms who are grade ahead and visibly not panicking, and me in there several times a week. Ask a counselor instead of asking a Facebook group. And we're live together every other week.
New material every month, timed to the season you're in.
Not 90 videos dumped on you the day you join.
WHAT YOU GET TO PUT DOWN
Most of what you're worried about isn't due yet
And some of what you're paying for isn't helping. I don't need ninth graders doing test prep, and I'm aware I could just as easily sell you a test prep bundle.
Half of doing this well is finding out what you're allowed to put down.
"Honestly? The best part was that my daughter and I didn't want to kill each other by November. I was SO worried I'd turn into that nagging mom who ruins senior year, but Lindsay showed me how to actually help without taking over. We had a system, she knew I had her back, and I wasn't losing my mind trying to remember everything. Our relationship stayed intact through the whole thing. That alone was worth it."

KEEPING IT REAL
WHO THIS IS FOR, AND WHO IT ISN'T
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF...
You've got a kid in ninth through twelfth.
You want to know what matters when it matters.
You'd rather run this yourself.
You want to be taught, not rescued.
YOU'RE IN THE WRONG PLACE IF...
Rankings are the whole conversation.
You want a guarantee about a specific school.
You want me to review your kid's list or edit their essays. That's a different thing I do.
nice to meet you
I'm doing this at my own kitchen table too
I'm a former high school counselor who spent 15 years in public education.
I've also got two boys, and one of them is in the middle of it right now. So when I tell you it goes fast, and that it isn't overwhelming if you do it in order, I'm not saying it from behind a desk. I'm saying it as the mom doing it this week.
The only difference between us is that I know what's coming.
That's what I'm handing you.

frequently asked questions
You've got Q's? We've got A's.
My kid is only a freshman. Should I wait?
No. Junior year you choose between the options you have left. Freshman year you decide how many there are.
My kid is already a junior. Am I too late?
No. You're just in a busier season. We start where you are.
I have more than one kid. Do I pay for each one?
Nope. The membership is yours, not your kid's, so it covers every child in your house. Your oldest is a junior and your youngest just started ninth? You're covered for both, for one price. Honestly, it gets easier the second time, because you'll already know how this works.
Is this a course my teen takes?
No. It's for you. Share pieces with them if you want, but the membership is yours.
I'm going to buy this and not use it. Talk me out of it.
Fair, and I'd rather you say it out loud. That's why nothing drops on you all at once. Five minutes a month and you're current.
Do you help with financial aid?
I teach you how the money works and you drive. I don't fill out anyone's FAFSA.
What if we get to junior year and I want more help?
Then we talk about it, and everything you've paid into the Collective, up to $997, comes off the price of working with me one on one. Most families never need that, and honestly I'd rather you didn't. But you're not losing anything by starting here.
What if I'd rather you work with my teen directly?
That's what my Dream Team is for. It's my one-on-one counseling package for juniors and seniors, and spots are limited. Most families find the Collective gives them exactly what they need, but if you'd rather I work with your teen myself, you can learn more here. And if you start in the Collective and upgrade later, what you've paid (up to $997) goes toward your Dream Team investment.
What if I join and it isn't for me?
Then you leave. No hard feelings, no phone call to cancel, no three emails asking why. I've been in programs I felt trapped in and I'm not building one of those. Monthly you can cancel any time, and the annual has a 14-day money-back window.
IT'S YOUR TURN TO...
Come find out what you get to stop worrying about
You don't need more admissions information.
You need somebody to tell you what matters, when it matters, and what to do next.
And a room of women doing it right alongside you.
You're not handing this off. You're finally getting trained for it.
THE DETAILS, PLAINLY
$997 FOR THE YEAR, OR $99 A MONTH
Pay for the year and you get a 14-day money-back guarantee, plus 15% off everything else I run, like the essay bootcamps and the senior packages. Monthly you can cancel any time.
One membership covers your whole family.
Got more than one kid? You pay once, and it covers every one of them, all the way through.
Because a mom in the know knows what's true,
what's next, and what to let go.
If you've still got questions or want to chat, email me anytime at [email protected].
No pressure, I promise.
