Shownotes

Raising confident, capable daughters in today’s fast-paced world comes with a unique set of joys—and challenges. That’s why we were thrilled to welcome Hilary Afshary, author of Dorm to Doorstep: Tips, Tidbits and Tales Every Young Woman Will Want to Read, to the Growing Good Humans podcast for a meaningful conversation tailored to parents of college-bound girls.

In this episode, Hilary shared the inspiration behind Dorm to Doorstep, a resource designed to help families navigate the transition from high school to college with empathy, strategy, and heart. With a special lens on the experiences of young women in higher education, Hilary offered insights to empower parents to support their children's academic growth, emotional resilience, and independence as they took bold steps toward adulthood.

🎤 Hilary answered questions like:

  • What inspired you to write Dorm to Doorstep?
  • How is the book organized, and what types of support do students—and especially girls—need most?
  • If you could offer just one key piece of advice to parents, what would it be?
  • What’s next in your journey to support students and families?

Whether your child is preparing for their first year of college or you are simply looking ahead, this conversation will offer reassurance, clarity, and tangible tools for parents looking to champion their children through one of life’s most important transitions!
