Episode 2: Back to School....Back to Reality

Back to school looks different at every age—but the emotions that come with it are real for both kids and parents. In this episode of YES Unfiltered, we talk about everything from first-day nerves and changing routines to friendships, academic pressure, independence, and the transition to college. We also discuss what it’s like for parents as their role begins to change—especially when a child heads off to college and home suddenly feels a little different. Whether you’re packing a lunchbox or packing up a dorm room, back-to-school season is a transition for the whole family. We’re talking about how to navigate it with connection, communication, and a little grace.
