“In “The Mom’s of College Freshman” group, I received valuable insights on what to expect during this family transition. Jody is a sensitive, receptive, and caring facilitator who provided an open space to share both concerns and moments of pride with other moms experiencing the same. I left the group with a binder of valuable articles, books, and additional resources as well as feeling more connected and better equipped to appreciate my child’s passage and growth as well as my own.”

“The Speaking Space provides an opportunity for busy moms to stop and connect with themselves and other moms about the many emotions and practicalities related to one of the biggest parental life transitions—a child who’s left the nest! We found ourselves embraced by Jody’s warm, welcoming and non-judgmental energy, which allowed us to reflect upon and share issues from the extremely personal to the totally universal. None of us wanted this special opportunity to end!”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect and discovered that I really enjoy having a safe, warm and confidential place to listen, talk and be heard. I always leave our meetings feeling rejuvenated with more inner peace.”

“Jody’s group was amazing. It really helped me navigate the transition from other of a high school kid to mother of a college student. I loved the support and guidance she and the other members provided. But I really got a lot out of the exercises that helped us separate our issues from those of our kids. Thanks to our meetings and Jody’s wise counsel, my relationship with my son has never been better and I was able to launch him off to college with confidence and peace of mind.”
