Free Guide · For Parents of College-Bound Daughters

She's Packed for College. But Is She Prepared?

The Freshman 15 is a free PDF guide — 15 simple tips and tactics to keep your daughter safe at college, built for one sit-down conversation before drop-off day.

The Freshman 15 guide on tablet and phone

You've prepared her for college — the housing forms, the dorm list, the Target run. This prepares her for everything else. And if that conversation keeps getting pushed to "later," you're not failing her — nobody ever showed you how to have it.

The guide covers both sides of keeping her safe — the social side, where the pressure comes from people she knows, and the protection side, for the moments she's on her own.

Inside the Free Guide

  • How to handle the social pressure that defeats most safety advice — saying no to a drink, a ride, or a "helpful" stranger without losing her social life (solid word-for-word starting points included)
  • The College Readiness Checklist — 25 boxes to check together before move-in day, so you both know exactly what's covered and what's left
  • Walking, parking, and driving safely — parties, dorms, campus, and the five-second rideshare check before she touches the door handle
  • What to do the moment she thinks she's being followed when she's alone
  • How to barricade a dorm room — or any room — in under a minute
  • A talk-about-it question with every tip, so the conversation runs itself
Includes the printable College Readiness Checklist plus bonus videos: real-world incidents, how to barricade a room, and assertiveness in action.

"As moms, we tend to carry a level of hypervigilance — we're always thinking about safety, but often aren't sure where to put that concern into clear, practical action. Trevor bridged that gap so well."
