Life Coach Alicia Trautwein Shares Tips for Sending your Kid to College
Going to college is a fascinating chapter in a teenager’s life. They get to experience a completely different lifestyle. The majority of them will leave their parents’ home and move into their dorms or rented apartments. They will be attending their classes, meeting new people, and hanging out with friends. All of it forming them into the grownups they will end up becoming. However, it can be a tough adjustment for parents.
When you become a parent, you know there will come a time in your life in which you will have to let your children fly solo and allow them to expand beyond the kingdom of your home. College is the first step in this direction and, although you are expecting it, it can be a challenging adjustment. Luckily, some experts can help you navigate this process better. Life Coach Alicia Trautwein is one of them.
Trautwein is the blogger behind The Mom Kind and has turned to the internet to share her parenting advice for many years now. Her quest began after her and her children’s Autism diagnosis. When searching online, she realized there was not enough information on autistic girls or neurodiverse families, raising kids with different diagnoses. For that reason, she created a safe space in her blog where parents can turn to when they need advice on varied topics related to parenting.
A while back, Alicia Trautwein wrote about the pain parents may experience when sending their children off to college. It does not matter how many months go by, this article is still relevant. Although reality changed when COVID-19 hit, many families are now getting ready to move their teenagers into college when the fall semester comes, and in-person classes can resume. Trautwein may not be able to take the pain and doubts away, but she can help ease these feelings with four very clever tips.
- Stay in touch as much as you can: “If you want to know something, then you can give them a call or send them a text message. If you want a little chat or are wondering how they’re doing, you can get to them in seconds. Just don’t message or call too much – you’re not supposed to be overbearing anymore!”
- Keep pictures: “If you have photos on your shelf and your phone of them, then you’ll always have those memories in front of you. Sure, your thoughts are great, but there’s something about actually seeing them in front of you that can make you feel a lot better.”
- Consider how much fun they are going to have: “They will return to you so much more mature after all the fun and all the experiences. Just know that they won’t be missing you as much and that they need this kind of break from you.”
- Do not sit around and think for too long: “Do something to keep your mind occupied so that you don’t overthink absolutely everything regarding their new life. If you sit around for too long, your mind can become a minefield that is packed full of negative hypotheticals. That’s not something you ever want in life. Don’t worry about things you cannot control.”
No one can ever prepare you enough for what your heart and your home will feel like once your children are in college. Your parents may have shared their own experiences with you, and that still will not be enough. But by following Alicia Trautwein’s advice, you might feel more in control of the situation. And truth be told, this is your time to have fun as well. Enjoy the alone time or the time with your partner and do things you might have postponed while raising kids.

When the Body Speaks: How Maryna Bilousova Helps Clients Heal Beyond the Physical
Our bodies hold onto what our minds try to forget until they speak up through tension, fatigue, or illness. It’s easy to overlook signs like tight shoulders, restlessness, or headaches. But often, these signals are connected to something deeper. Maryna Bilousova has built her work around helping people listen to what their bodies are really saying.
Like many of her clients, Maryna spent years in a high-stress environment, constantly pushing through. She knew how to perform, meet goals, and keep everything running. But peace was missing. Her body carried the weight of unspoken stress. That realization changed not only her life, it shaped how she supports others today as a transformation coach and subconscious pattern specialist.
Instead of focusing only on what’s visible, Maryna helps people look inward. She works with individuals who feel stuck in cycles they can’t explain, like burnout that does not go away or stress that feels out of proportion. Often, the root is not just a busy schedule. It’s emotional tension that’s been buried and ignored.
Looking Deeper Than Symptoms
Many people come to Maryna after trying traditional methods. They have done meditation apps, therapy sessions, or self-help routines. Still, something feels off. That’s where her work begins, not with fixing, but with listening.
She helps clients connect the dots between their physical symptoms and unresolved emotions. It’s not always about big trauma. Sometimes, it’s small moments that were never processed, guilt, grief, frustration, or shame. Over time, those emotions settle in the body.
Maryna recalls one client, a long-term cancer survivor, who returned years later with ovarian cysts. The physical fear was real, but so was the emotional weight she had been carrying from a past relationship full of betrayal and silence. Through their sessions, they uncovered and released that emotional residue. Weeks later, the cysts were gone. It was a reminder of how deeply the body can reflect our inner state.
Patterns That Keep Us Stuck
Maryna’s approach is not about chasing positivity or trying to fix everything at once. She focuses on patterns, how people speak to themselves, how they respond to stress, how they make decisions. Often, what feels like self-sabotage is actually an old belief playing out.
For example, someone who always avoids conflict might be carrying a belief that their needs don’t matter. Another who keeps overworking may feel that slowing down means they are falling behind. These beliefs often form early and show up in adulthood in ways that quietly run our lives.
Rather than offering surface-level solutions, Maryna holds space for clients to explore what’s really behind their choices. Her calm presence allows people to soften, reflect, and begin making changes that come from clarity, not pressure.
A Path Back to Yourself
The people Maryna works with are not looking for a quick fix. They want to feel lighter, clearer, and more like themselves again. Her clients often say that what changes is not just their mindset, it’s how they feel in their own skin. They start resting without guilt, setting boundaries without apology, and making choices that actually feel good.
Maryna believes that healing is not about doing more. It’s about slowing down enough to notice what your body and mind have been trying to say all along. When people start listening, they stop feeling like they have to fight themselves, and that’s when real change happens.
In a world that pushes us to ignore discomfort and keep going, Maryna offers something different: a place to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Because sometimes, healing does not start with doing, it starts with listening.
