Did you know the divorce rate for women over 50 has nearly doubled since 1980 — and for those over 65, it’s tripled?

The Stories We Don’t Tell Our Kids — And Why Sharing Them Changes Everything - Ep#161
Jul 23, 202632 minS5
What if your most imperfect, unpolished, didn’t-go-as-planned stories are actually the greatest gift you can give your adult children? After a health scare made her ask hard questions about what she’d really prepared her daughters for, Joanne McHugh sat down and wrote it all out — the career stumbles, the life detours, the things she wished someone had told her. In this conversation, we explore why real stories connect more than advice, how authenticity transforms your relationship with your adult kids, and what happens when you finally stop pretending life is all sunshine and butterflies. In This Episode, You’ll Discover Why a health scare became Joanne’s daring moment — and the promise she made to herself when the results came back clean How she wrote a book of real stories from her own young adulthood and surprised her three daughters with it on Valentine’s Day Why storytelling connects where direct advice creates resistance (and eye rolls!) The difference between positive psychology and toxic positivity — and why it matters for how we prepare our kids for adulting How being vulnerable with your adult children can shift your relationship from parent/child to something closer to friendship The one permission question that can change any conversation with your kids, your partner, or your friends (Stay to the end!) Joanne answers one more question after we thought we were done — about oversharing, how to decide what to tell your kids, and why you’re always the editor of your own story About Joanne McHugh Joanne McHugh is a mom of three daughters and the creator of Things Your Mom Should Have Told You — a weekly newsletter and blog where she shares real, honest stories from her own life to help young adults navigate the things nobody warned them about. What started as a private book for her girls became something she knew had to be shared more widely.

Jul 15, 202650 minS5
You've spent 18 years preparing them — and now it's time to let go. But before you drive away from that campus parking lot, there are things you need to know. Residence Life expert Ashley Lillie of West Chester University joins Jodi for a conversation every empty-nest mom needs to hear: from the federal privacy law that means you can't call the school and ask how your kid is doing, to the real reasons roommates fight, to the one dare your student should practice before they ever step foot on campus. This is the episode you'll want to share with your college-bound kid. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: What FERPA is and why it means the university legally cannot share your student's information with you without their written permission How to ask for FERPA access — and why you might need to do it every single semester Why the first six weeks of college are the most pivotal — and what parents can do before move-in to help their student succeed The three most common roommate conflicts (spoiler: it's almost always communication, cleanliness, and guests) and how to coach your student through them Why you should tell your student's high school friends NOT to visit for the first two to three weekends The social media highlight reel reality check every college student needs to hear Ashley's dare: the one practice your student can start this summer to feel more confident on campus ABOUT ASHLEY LILLIE: Ashley Lillie is a Residence Life professional at West Chester University with over a decade of experience helping students navigate one of life's biggest transitions — living on their own for the first time.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities.

What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
