In my conversation with host Sandy Fowler, we discuss why a gap year might be essential for some young people. 

It’s becoming more and more common for teens to take a gap year in their secondary educations, and parents often get concerned because of some common misconceptions, including that gap years are excuses to skip school and can be damaging to college prospects. Sandy and I attempt to calm parents’ fears regarding gap years and we discuss the benefits and full potential for growth and experiences that gap years actually hold for our teens.
The Winning at the Mom Life Podcast is an exciting podcast that wants to help women change the lens they use to validate themselves. It is so true, we are our own worst critiques.  Every child, every family, every mother is so unique and walks a different path.  Its time that we stop comparing ourselves to others and decide what we want our lives to look like.  Happiness is now.. happiness is finding what you can love about your current situation and what you can do to makes tomorrows reality look exactly how you want it to look.  That is truly Winning at the Mom Life!
