If you quietly worry if your college freshman is ready for the "life" part of college, not just the academic part...
Finding their people, handling the stress, making healthy choices with food and body, asking for help, a
nd feeling like they belong --
This masterclass is for you. No fluff. Just solutions.
Where This Leads Them
The Life Skills That Determine The Success of Their First Year (and beyond)
Grades matter. But here's what I've seen after 6 years coaching teens and their families through this exact transition:
The kids who struggle most in year one almost never struggle because of academics.
They struggle because they're not equipped with this stuff:
> Finding their people, fast. So the first lonely Tuesday night doesn't spiral into "maybe I don't belong here."
> Actually assimilating into campus life. Not just surviving in their dorm room — building a life there.
> Having a healthy relationship with food and their body. Making decisions that are natural and self-supportive because they come from within -- not because someone told them.
> Techniques for fueling their bodies to support their energy, health and well-being.
> Making choices that support their body and brain. Sleep, movement, stress management — the unglamorous stuff that determines whether they can function, let alone thrive.
> Advocating for themselves before it's a crisis.
> Knowing how to ask a professor for help, use campus resources, or say "I'm not okay" before it turns into a 10pm panicked phone call to you.
> Managing their time and their stress — for real, without you there to remind them about the essay due Friday.
This is exactly what we cover inside the Freshman Formula, and this free webinar is your first look at how it works.
The Worry You Haven't Said Out Loud
Here's the thing nobody tells you when you're registering for orientation and buying the XL twin sheets:
College isn't just the next academic chapter. It's the first time your kid has to run their entire life — solo.
Call it Adulting 101. A crash course in independence, with no syllabus and no office hours.
And even if your student seems excited, ready, practically counting down the days... there's a part of you that lies awake wondering if they're actually prepared for what's coming.
Sound familiar?
☑ You've spent years trying to teach them independence — but somehow they still lean on you for basically everything
☑ You've stepped in to smooth things over more times than you can count, and now you're wondering if that's going to backfire the second you're not there to catch it
☑ You lie awake running the tape: Will they manage their eating in a healthy way? Will they get up for that 9am? Will they even notice they're falling apart before it's a crisis?
☑ You have no idea how they'll do finding "their people" — and the thought of them eating lunch alone in a dining hall breaks your heart a little
☑ You're terrified they won't speak up for themselves — not to a professor, not to an RA, not even to you
And underneath all of it, the fear you don't say out loud: what if it's too much, and they want to come home?
You're not overreacting. You're not "that mom." You're paying attention. ↓

The Good News
It's Not Too Late — In Fact, This Is the Perfect Time
Here's what I want you to know: you have not missed the window. EVEN IF they have already moved into their college!
Your student isn't just capable of absorbing this right now — they're primed for it. They're feeling their own version of your worry. They want to feel ready.
They just don't know how to ask for the roadmap.
And if they've already landed on their college campus - they're in real-time experiencing their new life and wishing they were more prepared.
The moms who see the best transitions aren't just the ones who started "prepping" freshman year of high school.
They're also the ones who step in when it matters most — right here, right now — with intention.
A few honest conversations. A few days of learning, A few small shifts. That's it. That's the whole thing.
This webinar is that first step.
Why Me
I've Been Exactly Where You Are
I'm Leslie — certified health, life, and nutrition coach, and mom who watched her own kids walk into that first semester looking confident on the outside while I was a nervous wreck on the inside because I knew, they weren't totally prepared -- and I wished I had done more.
I remember watching my kids navigate that first year through many ups and downs. And I realized, in real time, all the things I wished I'd said or done before move-in day. That experience — and six years of coaching high school and college girls through confidence, body image, making healthy choices, and the transition to independence — is exactly why I built the Freshman Formula.
This isn't theory. It's the roadmap I wish someone had handed me.
