Don’t leave your teen’s future to chance
Get the clarity, confidence, and the roadmap that transforms
‘What if?’ into ‘Watch this!
Does this sound familiar?
"Every time someone asks ‘What’s next?’ I freeze. I’m 17—how am I supposed to have my entire life planned out right now?"
"I keep hearing about scholarships, deadlines, and career paths. It’s so overwhelming that I’d rather avoid the whole conversation altogether."
"I’m terrified of choosing the wrong major and wasting time and money on something I won’t even enjoy later."
"Between juggling applications, essays, and financial paperwork, I’m worried we’ll overlook something critical and close a door we didn’t even know existed."
"I’m torn between letting my kid make their own decisions and stepping in to help. It’s a tightrope walk, and I’m scared of making the wrong move."
"I lie awake at night wondering if we’ll be able to afford the right school—if my child will miss out on opportunities because of money."
"My friends all seem confident about where they’re headed, and I’m just stuck here, second-guessing every choice."
"I thought senior year was supposed to be fun, but with applications and financial aid forms, it feels like the most stressful time of my life."
"I keep telling myself I’ll get organized ‘tomorrow,’ but tomorrow comes and I’m buried under even more deadlines."
"Everyone expects me to know basic ‘adulting’ skills, like managing my life or budgeting, but I’ve never been taught. It’s embarrassing to admit I don’t know."
"It feels like every conversation about college turns into a battle of deadlines, costs, and confusion. I just want my teen to feel secure about their future."
"I see how stressed my teen is, and I wish I had a clear roadmap to guide them. But sometimes I feel as lost as they are."
If you or your teen can relate, you’re not alone.
This is what hundreds of people have been telling me in confidence for years.
What if the clarity, confidence, and peace of mind you’ve been craving was just ONE decision away?
You don’t have to settle for sleepless nights, second-guessing your teen’s future.
You can create a clear path that launches them into success—and even enjoy the process along the way.

I’ve guided countless students and parents through academic uncertainties, financial questions, and day-to-day stresses.
Now, I’m taking it to the next level with Ready4Launch, a one-of-a-kind guided roadmap for a smoother, happier transition into post-secondary life.
Who’s Got Your Back? Tara B. —
Teacher, Coach and the Visionary at the helm of Ready4Launch
If you’re reading this, you’re probably a lot like me: caring, dedicated, and determined to give your teen every advantage as they step into their future. You’re not content with just checking off boxes and hoping for the best—you want your child to thrive in every sense of the word.
Maybe you’ve already guided them through some major milestones. But this is a brand new chapter, and the stakes are higher than ever. You can feel it, can’t you? There’s a whole new version of them (and of you) emerging. It’s exciting… and a little intimidating.
That’s why I’m beyond thrilled to invite you into what I consider ...
My most personal, most impactful “secret” for guiding families through the high school-to-postsecondary leap
This is a process so life-changing, I’ve seen it diffuse agonizing stress and replace it with clarity and genuine hope.
For many years, I’ve worked with youth and families, where we dive into everything that shapes a teen’s future: finding the right school, financial strategies, time management, study hacks, emotional well-being.
YOU NAME IT.
I’ve distilled everything that has worked for teens and their families and put it together into Ready4Launch.
My structured approach has sparked some of the biggest “Aha!” moments for both parents and kids, turning tears of overwhelm into smiles of belief.
It’s helped families transform confusion into concrete plans, anxiety into confidence, and tension into genuine connection.
One day I realized, "Wouldn’t it be amazing if more parents and teens could experience this level of support and progress?" That’s when I realized - as an educator, coach, mentor, and entrepreneur - if there was ever a time to make this accessible, it’s now!”
So here we are. Because really, what’s the point of seeing your teen off into the “real world” if you’re both exhausted, worried, and missing out on the joy of this remarkable milestone?
Let’s replace chaos with confidence, and usher in a future where your teen feels ready, you feel supported, and the whole family breathes a collective sigh of relief.

We've Tailored R4L Power Crew To Vibe With Gen Z's Learning Style
Digital First
We know how comfortable Gen Z learners are with digital platforms and how they usually prefer online learning tools and resources. R4L is a digital program that gives them web-based access to our engaging program anytime and anywhere.
Visual & Video Content
This generation prefers engaging, visual content. They lean towards learning through videos, infographics, and interactive media rather than through traditional text-heavy materials. We leverage this to create a familiar and engaging learning environment.
Interactive and Collaborative
Gen Z values interaction within their learning environments. They appreciate collaborative projects and interactive elements in their educational experiences, which can include peer discussions, group projects, and online forums.
Self-Paced and Flexible Learning
They prefer having the ability to control the pace of their learning. This makes asynchronous learning platforms and courses that allow them to progress at their own speed particularly appealing. We provide a balance of both- weekly program goals with the flexibility to organize their time as they see fit.
Practical & Hands-On Learning
There is a strong preference for learning that is directly applicable to real-world situations. They value practical experiences and opportunities to implement what they learn in realistic settings. Everything we do is geared to help them be ready for real-world experience in post-secondary and beyond.
Bite-Sized Learning
Short, concise instructional sessions or modules—often referred to as "microlearning"—are popular among Gen Z. They prefer digesting information in small, manageable chunks rather than lengthy lectures or extended sessions. The R4L curriculum is designed with this in mind.
R4L Power Crew is a positive, supportive space where we partner to guide your teen into their next chapter
— without all the sleepless nights, second-guessing, and stress.
You and your teen will get the mindsets, strategies, and coaching support to create…
Clear direction for your teen’s academic and career journey, so you both feel confident about their next steps
Financial peace of mind , including help navigating scholarships, budgets, and informed financial planning
Real-life skills and self-management tools teens can use to thrive now and in the future - academically, socially, and personally
A supportive environment where teens and parents know someone “gets it,” so you’re never left feeling unsupported
So you can enjoy a smoother, happier high school-to-post-secondary transition—starting today, not “someday.”
"... I would say don't make your applications to university without speaking to an expert like Tara for some guidance."

Now, pause for a moment and ask yourself…
What is leaving your teen’s future to chance really costing you?
What are the financial, academic, and emotional implications?
If you’re here, it’s clear you’re ready for more: more clarity, more peace of mind, and more confidence that your teen is in good hands and on the path to success.
But… how do you choose the right kind of support?
You could...
Hire a private counselor or tutor for thousands of dollars—only to find gaps in their scope or lack of cohesive direction.
Pay for random workshops and courses, hoping to piece together a path on your own.
Keep doing it alone, burning time, energy, and emotional bandwidth on trial-and-error.
Hope to stumble on hidden scholarships and financial supports before deadlines pass.
OR … you can tap into Ready4Launch.
