Love your podcast and all the great topics you tackle! One small critique - please change your terminology from “guidance counselor “ to “school counselor.” Our profession hasn’t used guidance counselor for a few years now. Thank you!

Megan and Gretchen were kind enough to have me on their podcast to promote my book on mindfulness and test prep, but the conversation felt much deeper and more authentic than just a promo. They really care about furthering education!

Gretchen and Megan give their listeners real honest answers to the college search process. With so much misinformation or focus on only certain schools, these ladies search for the hidden gems and remind families of what the college search should really be about. Kudos!

Gretchen and Megan have created a fantastic podcast; I love the banter that the two-host format provides, and I think their content is amazing as well. Any parent with a college-bound student should listen in, and I think students themselves will find it helpful as well.

I’ve been working with Gretchen for years and she’s still super helpful. She’s helped me through the end of high school and now that I’m in college, she’s changed her approach up a bit but I continue to be impressed and appreciative of her. This podcast is no different— very helpful and insightful.
