So interesting and well done!

Valuable Information

I was happy to find this to share with my brother and sister-in-law. Denise has wonderful guests and does her homework when interviewing people. I appreciate that she shares topics that you might not consider for academic success, such as decluttering and organizing, critical thinking, communication, etc.

Thanks, Denise!

Listen to Denise and avoid the mistakes most parents make!

I have listened to several of Denise's podcast episodes and just watched her Tedx video, and I can tell you from experience she REALLY knows what she is talking about. As she says College doesn't have to be a debt sentence! She teaches you how to be one of the 30% of college students that graduate debt free. Highly recommend!
