Eliana is spiraling, Leora’s got the post-hotel-sex-glow, and Empty Nesting guest expert Allie Hill is here to talk both of them off the ledge (or at least into a guided meditation). It’s all about the meltdown before college drop-off — the anxiety, the Amazon cart spirals, the parental guilt, and whether or not your son will make his flight back from Asia in time to move into his damn apartment. Plus: FERPA forms, dorm decorating drama, and why tracking your kid on Life360 might save your sanity - or destroy it.

Also, the most important parenting model you never knew you needed- “benign neglect.” You’re welcome.
