YOU play an important role in supporting your teen in the college application process. Even if you hire a consultant to guide your teen through the college process, your role is impactful.

the solution:
bypass the stress of the college grind, set your teen up for success with this program
Using the tools in this program, you help your teens understand who they want to be in this world. Knowing themselves helps them write thoughtful introspective essays for the college application.
Because writing a strong college essay is high stakes for college admissions, this program leverages this part of the application process to work FOR you and your teen.
College admissions have become more competitive. Colleges know what they want, and it's not perfect grades and scores anymore.
By understanding who they are and what they value, your teen will be able to articulate a thoughtful response to the essay prompts in a college application.
Knowing themselves will also help your teen thrive IN college.
Finally!
I didn't know a program like this existed. This program kept me sane and saved my relationship with my teen during the stressful college process. Can’t thank Maggie enough for putting this together!
I was at my wits' end in the fall of my daughter's senior year. She was so overwhelmed by deadlines and trying to decide which colleges to put on her list. Because I heard so many horror stories about kids not getting into their safety schools in years past, I didn't know what to do. My daughter had worked so hard to do well, but I felt like nothing was good enough anymore. Doing Maggie's programs helped me see that we were wasting our energy on stress and fear.
When I shifted my focus toward my daughter's wellbeing and getting to know her, our experience improved dramatically. Essay writing became more spontaneous. We stopped fighting. We had great conversations. And she got into the college that she felt would be best fit for her (biomedical science major). I now know my daughter so well that I know she will do well in life no matter where she attends college. I was so grateful to find Maggie and her program.
When I got a handle on my stress, I could see how my daughter felt less stressed too.
That was truly a gift. When I hear other moms feeling like I used to feel,
I try to tell as many moms I can about this program.

I’m maggie, a physician mom life coach of a kid with a rare disease who has learned to thrive.
I applied the same coaching tools to help my older teen manage college stress and thrive.
After witnessing the transformative power of the coaching tools with my daughter, I applied these tools to support my older teen manage stress around the college application grind. Leveraging the college essay, I asked him important questions to help him understand himself, his values, what he'd like to get out of college, and who he'd like to be in college. These conversations helped him gain clarity on how to write his essays and choose his best-fit college.
- He was accepted to his first-choice college.
- He is excited about the future and setting his short term and long term goals.
- We have become more connected this year.
- succeed in college admissions
- thrive in college
- thrive in life after college graduation
Why is it important to help your teen
develop social and emotional
maturity skills?
Over one-third of all college students report having felt so depressed that they had trouble functioning in the last twelve months.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, claiming the lives of 1100 students each year.
More than half of college students have had suicidal thoughts, and 1 in 10 students who have suicidal thoughts never seek counseling or treatment.
More than 80 percent of college students felt overwhelmed by all they had to do in the past year, and 45 percent have felt things were hopeless.

"Rates of anxiety and depression have soared in the last decade,"
- The Chronicle of Higher Education
From the book:
The Stressed Years of Their Lives
by Dr. Hibbs and Dr. Rostain
Because teens are struggling on college campuses.
You can support their growth by engaging them with powerful questions that affirm who they are, how they think, and what they want. In the process, your teen will uncover unique qualities that they write about in the college essay.
Take a peek at the program
There are five total modules: the Introductory and four teaching modules which are detailed below. There are three videos in the Introductory module and between four to five videos per teaching module. I will be teaching all of the concepts.
Each of the teaching modules will cover a specific topic. There will be a set of ten questions per teaching module.
I teach you how to ask the powerful questions that
help your teen understand themselves more deeply. This understanding inspires your teen to write the personal college essay that represents their unique
qualities and strengths.
In the process your teen matures emotionally.
Module: Teen's Self-Concept
Self-concept represents the beliefs your teen has about themselves. It's important for your teen to know their beliefs or habitual thought patterns, so they can question those beliefs and decide if those beliefs are helping them create the reality they want to see in their lives.
start
Module: Teen's Leadership-self
Leadership-self is the ability of your teen to decide how they want to show up in any given situation with intentionality. This will be a useful skill for them to develop as it has very practical applications for the job and college interviews they will likely experience this year.
Build
module: Teen's Goal setting
This module discusses why it's important for your teen's to set goals and how you can teach your teens the way to achieve their goals.
Grow
module: Mom's rite of passage
This module discusses our rite of passage of moms of seniors in high school, as we transition from moms parenting teens under our roof to moms parenting young adults living on a college campus. As our experience parallels our teen's transition into young adulthood, we become an example of what is possible for them. This helps to deepen our relationship with our teens.
Expand
Leave these feelings behind, for good
No more feeling like an inadequate mom if your teen doesn't get into an elite college or university
No more fighting with your teen and dreading the worst, while waiting to hear from colleges
No more feeling like your teen will be unsuccessful in life if they don't get into their dream college
Yes, I'm in!
There is no other program like this available.
I know because I was desperate to find one. when I discovered an effective way to manage the stress of the college grind, I knew I had to share it with other moms like you.
this work changed my perspective about the insane college grind. i realized i needed to start a revolution to change how we all think about the increasingly toxic culture of achievement and expectations of our teens.
We can intentionally choose to focus on our teen's wellbeing and not focus on the insanity of the college Application process.
Our teens will be better for it,
We can show them a better way.

By now I’ve given you a lot
of information but…
you probably have questions.
Let me answer those for you.
Would it be possible to do the coaching program semi-privately with a small group of 3-4 moms?
Yes, I have done small groups in the past that have been very successful. I will create an option for small groups with this program again in the future soon too, but if you'd like to work with your mom friends now, I'm sure we can find a way to make that work. Just schedule a FREE CONSULTATION with me. Or email me at:
Would this course be useful if we have already hired a college consultant for the essays?
Yes, it would be useful. We had a great school counselor who reviewed our teen's essays. But I was still actively involved, giving him feedback and asking him questions to think more deeply about his essay. When he understood himself better and what he valued and why, he was able to articulate his ideas more thoughtfully in his essay.
FAQ's
maggiekangmd@gmail.com
My teen is a sophomore now. When is the ideal time to get started on this program?
The more I talk to moms about my program, I hear how this program has helped their teens as early as the summer before 9th grade, but I think it depends on the maturity level of your teen and their level of interest in engaging with you on topics that require introspection. But generally speaking, junior year and the summer before senior year are optimal times for most teens as they have colleges on their mind.
what if my teen doesn't want to talk to me and we don't have a good relationship?
If you and your teen don't communicate at all, this program may not be a good fit. But if you are committed to improving your relationship with your teen, my general 1:1 coaching program for moms will have significant value for you. I would recommend scheduling a
FREE CONSULTATION with me.
