About Christen:

As a high school freshman I knew I wanted to go to college. I also knew that I couldn't afford to pay for it and I didn't want any part of taking out student loans. I've lost count of how many scholarships I've applied for, but I've won more than $900,000 in scholarships for my own education. I am the founder of Hive Education- The Buzz About College where I help high schoolers (and their mamas!) navigate the road to college admissions. Do you have questions about applying for or affording college? I have answers. And the best part? I stay on your teen about decisions and deadlines- so you don’t have to.

Kasey and Madison are here today with our special guest, Natasha. We talk about supporting parents that are experiencing burnout. Many parents do not know when they are in burnout- they may think they are sick or just tired. Burnout sneaks up on us with varied symptoms and impacts our whole life. It's like the color has gone; looking back it may seem like your world became black and white. As we talk about on this podcast episode, burnout is treatable and even a few small tweaks to our language and life can result in relief.
