Sending your teen off to college? The first weeks of freshman year are full of pressure—parties, alcohol, drugs, and the deep desire to belong. As a Catholic sobriety coach (and mom of three), I just walked my own son through this transition and had “the talk” every parent needs to have.

In this episode, I’ll share:

• How to talk to teens about drinking before college (without sounding like a hypocrite)
• What neuroscience tells us about alcohol, confidence, and the developing brain
• Practical ways to prepare your teen for peer pressure, dating, and parties
• How faith and identity give students true belonging that alcohol never can
• What to say if your teen has already been drinking—and how to give them hope and help

If you’ve ever wondered how to start the conversation, what to say, or how to prepare your teen for the realities of college life, this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth: belonging doesn’t require a bottle. And one honest conversation could change everything.
