Two days before her daughter and oldest child leaves for college, Dr. Sheryl hits record.
Two days before her daughter and oldest child leaves for college, Dr. Sheryl hits record and doesn't clean it up: the grief and the relief showing up in the same moment, the packing-list control spiral, the "boring on purpose" plan for the last 48 hours, and the line she's repeated to a thousand parents that suddenly means something different from the other side of the experience.
If you're in your own version of this countdown — bins taped up, closet half empty, a text you're waiting on — this episode is for you.
