I will never forget the day my family drove away after dropping me off on my college campus and I thought...“How do I actually do this?”

Excited, overwhelmed, or everything in between?

If you are headed off to college, I'm sure you have heard people say, “Good luck!” or “Have fun!” but there is very little real and practical advice for young women of faith on how to navigate this new chapter of your life.

In this video course I, Emily, am walking alongside you as a big sister on the journey, sharing personal stories, reflections, and guidance on key topics you are bound to encounter. This series will help you begin your college journey feeling confident and prepared to make wise choices, cultivate your faith, and enjoy the experience all along the way.

“Graduating from a tiny rural high school last May and preparing to move across the country to attend the University of Notre Dame, I knew I was in for some major changes. Navigating College was exactly what I needed to begin preparing for what I would experience. It walked me through so many of the different challenges I have faced and will continue to face over the next four years, reminding me of my inherent worth in every season of my life, and that no matter what college looks like for me, it is an amazing opportunity for growth. It provided both opportunities for deep reflection, as well as practical advice for making the most of my time in college. This series was fun and engaging, and encouraged me to consider the values I want to practice, and I have already seen how this encouragement has produced so much fruit in my faith life. I am beyond grateful for Emily and this ministry she is sharing - this series is absolutely worth the time and money to anyone who is in college or preparing for college!”

“What a great series! I wish I had this two years ago when I first started college, but as a junior in college applying to my program, it was what I needed for sure! Emily's videos made me really stop and think on how I want to continue my college experience, how I'm living my life, and how in some areas, I definitely need to change how I'm living. There are not enough words to describe how I felt about this experience, but I can't recommend this enough♥️”

“I'm in my mid-twenties and have already done two years of community college. Now I'm going to a university six hours away from my house in a few weeks. Naturally, I'm a mix of excitement and anxiety. I wanted to purchase this series to hear some wisdom from a lady whose ministry I deeply admire, even as a non-Catholic Christian. Emily gives such clear and wise advice. She is clearly full of compassion for women and wants them to live their best life in Christ. I definitely recommend this series! ”
