S2E46: Listen, Love, Launch - with Cindy Manko

S2E46: Listen, Love, Launch - with Cindy Manko

This week on Show Me the Way, I’m joined by Cindy Manko for a conversation that couldn’t have come at a better time. In just over a month, my son Nathan begins his senior year of high school, making this episode especially meaningful for me.


Introduced to me by Lisa Kupelian, Cindy shares her wisdom on navigating one of parenting’s biggest milestones—launching our children into adulthood. She offers practical advice on how to support our teens, guide them with intention, and, just as importantly, give them the freedom to spread their wings.


Cindy is the creator of The Journal Project, a beautiful keepsake journal that encourages moms to document their child’s senior year through their own eyes. She gifted one to each of her three children upon graduation, and she generously gifted one to me as well. I can’t wait to fill it with memories as Nathan experiences this exciting year.


Through her “Listening, Loving & Launching” approach, Cindy reminds us that while parenting is never easy, we can embrace this season with purpose, gratitude, and confidence. I hope you’ll join us as Cindy shows the way and helps us discover the tools and encouragement to make the transition from teen to adult a little easier.
