182. A Real & Raw Conversation About Teenage Life, Getting Ready For College + What We've Learned As Mother + Daughter with Ava Demcher :: Part One
Update: 2025-08-18
Description
Grab your tissues - this one will give you all the feels.
Krista's oldest daughter Ava is back on the podcast, and honestly, it's hard to believe how much has changed since she was here three years ago as a 15-year-old. Now she's 18, heading to Syracuse University on the day this episode airs, and has become this incredibly self-aware, persistent, and frankly hilarious young woman.
They're talking about everything - and we mean everything. The good, the bad, the moments that made them both cry, and the decisions that completely changed the trajectory of Ava's high school experience. If you've ever watched your kid struggle with something that wasn't serving them anymore, or if you're a teenager trying to figure out who you are when everything feels uncertain, this conversation is for you.
What they're diving into:
- Why she walked away from competitive dance after 11 years (and how scary that actually was)
- Why being a student at a culturally diverse school was so important to her
- Her car accident, the months without independence, and how it actually made her stronger
- The job hunt story that might make you want to hire her immediately
- Why she thinks "cutting the umbilical cord" is the best parenting advice ever
Fair warning: Ava's personality is BIG in this episode. She came with jokes, coffee through a straw, and zero filter. Basically, it's one big audition for her future spot on SNL.
