For Sharon Brecher aka Miserable Mom, the years and days leading up to her eldest heading to college were fraught and scary, as she anticipated day-to-day life without her daughter. She returned from drop-off to begin writing her book Miserable Mom: The Dos and Don'ts of Sending Your Kid to College . In the process, she created a community, became a mom-influencer, and more importantly, navigated the transition to this stage of parenthood. Episode originally aired live on WVOX AM on May 11, 2023.
