277 - Feel Like Your Parents Are Trying to Control You in College? Have a Better Relationship With Your Mom Through Boundaries and Communication

Money and Mental Peace - Scholarships, Manage Money, Dave Ramsey Baby Steps, Student Loans, FAFSA 2024

Are you trying to gain independence, but feel like your mom or parents are treating you like a child, or just don’t understand you? Maybe you want to have a friendship with them but it feels like your mom is just momming you all the time. You’d like them to JUST LISTEN and not always tell you what do you, BUT also give wise advice when you need it (and actually ask for it).

You don’t want them to talk to you like a 10 year old every time you chat, and just want a better relationship with your parents while in college. All this ties into the mental peace aspect of my podcast because relationship struggles can bring stress and anxiety. Ain’t nobody got time for that while you’re trying to figure out how to pay for college without student loans too!

My friend Jeannie is the voice behind the podcast “Raising Her Confidently,” and has come on to share how to develop a better relationship with your mom or parents in general through effective and respectful boundaries and communication.

**Get scholarships and pay for college without student loans!**

Are you worried about how to pay for college? Stressed because it’s so expensive? Are you having trouble finding scholarships, or all you find don’t apply to you? Overwhelmed with all things school and money?

Welcome fam! This podcast will help you find and get scholarships, avoid student loans and maybe even graduate college debt-free!

Hey! I’m Kara, a Christian entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, and scholarship BEAST! I figured out how to not only finish college debt-free, but I even had $10k left over in the bank after graduation. (& btw, my parents weren’t able to help me financially either!)

During school, I was worried about paying for next semester. I couldn’t find scholarships that worked specifically for me, and didn’t know how to get started while juggling homework and keeping up with ALL.THE.THINGS.

But dude, I learned there was a better way! With God’s direction, I tested out of classes, and found the perfect scholarships, grants, internships, and weird budget hacks that helped me go from overwhelmed to debt-free with $10k in the bank–all with God on my side.

... and I’m here to walk you through this, too.

If you are ready to find scholarships specific to you, learn to manage your money well, and have enough money to kill it at college, this pod is for you!

So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.

Topics in this episode: I am considering transferring schools. My parents are 100% against me transferring to the better school. I feel like it is a good decision to transfer even though the college is more expensive, the connections are so much better. My parents mentioned me getting a loan but they won’t help me get one. My parents are helping me pay for classes, but we are a single-income family. depression, anxiety, stress, anxiety symptoms, anxiety medication, anxiety disorder, depression drugs, depression memes, anxiety treatment, anxiety test, antidepressant, eating disorder, OCD, OCD symptoms, antidepressants, eating disorder binge eating, antidepressants medications, eating disorder symptoms, ocd intrusive thoughts, intrusive thoughts, control freak, twitches, anxious, angry, hangry, hanxious, hormones, cry, crying, tears, sad, sadness, sleep, insomnia, therapy, therapist, serotonin, dopamine, therapy aid, mental health, therapy mental health, SSRI, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, serotonin reuptake inhibitor, relationships with parents, boundaries with parents, boundaries with family, communication, conflict resolution, relationship of parents, examples of boundaries with toxic parents, setting boundaries with a toxic parent, setting boundaries with difficult elderly parents, poor relationships with parents, setting boundaries with older parents, establishing boundaries with parents, generation z relationship with parents, setting boundaries with parents as adults
