Does this sound familiar?
"I feel like I’m on my own with this. I saw my guidance counsellor. I came out with a brochure and a link to OUAC. I can’t get any clear guidance. I’m terrified about making the wrong choice."
"I keep hearing about scholarships, deadlines, and career paths. It’s so overwhelming that I’d rather avoid the whole conversation altogether."
"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."
"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."
My friend’s daughter got into Queen’s commerce 3 years ago. I thought talking to her would help. I just didn’t realize the process, requirements and my child are completely different.
"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."
"Writing supplementary applications and personal essays is terrifying. I have nothing interesting to say."
"I keep telling myself I’ll get organized ‘tomorrow,’ but tomorrow comes and I’m buried under even more deadlines."
"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."
"It feels like every conversation about college turns into a battle of deadlines, costs, and confusion. I just want my child to feel secure about their future."
"I see how stressed my child 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’m Tara B. — an educator, coach, and mentor and I’ve helped close to a thousand youth and families bridge the gap between high school and post-secondary success. I’ve guided those 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 child 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: building the strongest applicant portfolio, 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 child 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 child feels ready, you feel supported, and the whole family breathes a collective sigh of relief.

"Tara has been an absolute lifeline and the strongest support I have ever had in my educational journey. Throughout the turbulent times with my schooling, Tara was consistently there, guiding me with unwavering dedication.
Moreover, Tara empowered me to communicate and advocate for myself effectively when dealing with my school’s administration and various departments."
Ben - Student
"A driven, organized force with an amazing service that needs to be in the forefront of every parent’s mind when guiding their child towards post secondary opportunities ... I would say don't make your applications to university without speaking to an expert like Tara for some guidance."
Alyssa Cohen, Parent & Realtor
I’m so glad you walked me through the right fit program for me and continued to help me see why I really wanted to stay at TMU and keep pursuing my degree in journalism. I was just awarded - “*****
Zainab - Student
"I can't say enough good things about Tara. She’s task-focused, has school connections, is a strong advocate for our kids, is great interacting with our youth and has a great sense of humour. I really think her greatest asset is she is just so darn positive and the kids on my caseload who’ve met with her all say the same thing and feed of that energy."

R4L Is Tailored To Vibe With The Learning Styles Of Today's Youth
Digital First
We know how comfortable younger 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
High Schoolers' value 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 today's youth. They prefer digesting information in small, manageable chunks rather than lengthy lectures or extended sessions. The R4L curriculum is designed with this in mind.
Ready4Launch is a positive, supportive space where we partner to guide you and 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.”
"Tara ... you exceeded expectations! I was apprehensive at first, but your Your kindness, patience and loving personality made all the difference. I wish I had more time to learn and grow with you."
Mara - Student
"It was a pleasure having you on our podcast, Mommas Who Lead. It was
such an amazing episode that I personally gathered a wealth of
information from. I am so grateful for your time and knowledge you
shared with us."

🎯 Timing is Everything!
Join at the Right Moment for Maximum Impact
At R4L, we run four 8-week cohorts each year (fall, winter, spring & summer) to meet students where they are in their pathway planning—academically, mentally and emotionally.
The earlier your teen joins, the less likely they'll experience impostor syndrome and miss deadlines.
Instead, they’ll have more time to explore their strategic fit, create their post-secondary playbook, and prepare for life after high school.
Without the stress of rushing big decisions.
Here’s how the timing lines up based on your teen’s current grade and semester:
Grade 10 – All Semesters
Recommended Cohort
September - November,
January–March,
April–June,
or August (Boot Camp)
Why This Timing Works
Get ahead of the game, start career exploration early, and make smart credit choices for Grade 11.

Recommended Cohort

The Ready4Launch Difference
R4L isn’t your average ‘university prep’ course.
It’s a trusted space of encouragement, clarity, and forward progress.
No overwhelm.
No burnout.
No drama.
Instead, we’re unapologetically supportive, realistically ambitious, and wholeheartedly focused on helping youth—and their families—thrive in every sense.

Here’s a Taste…
Here’s a sneak peek at what makes our program so much more than a course—it’s an experience designed to get your teen fired up, future-ready, and totally confident about their next big step!
An 8-week journey to clarity & confidence!
9 main modules packed with content
+ 15 hours of live youth group coaching

Because this isn’t just a solo mission! We’re in this together. 🎯
No more guesswork—just results.

Video-rich and totally engaging.
We’re not about boring lectures. Each module comes with interactive discovery sheets that make self-reflection & future planning easy, insightful, and dare we say… fun?!

6-8 hours a week (no cramming required).
Designed for busy students, this program helps them build real-life & post-secondary success skills while staying on top of the material.

Modules drop a week before the coaching calls so students can show up feeling prepared, not panicked.
Ask anything!
Students can submit burning questions ahead of time for coaching calls, making sure they get the exact support they need, each week at each step of the program.
Coaching that adapts to YOU.
Sessions focus on the real stuff that matters to students right now—because flexibility = engagement.
No more last-minute "OMG, I forgot!" moments.
We send reminders for key Ontario deadlines (scholarships, OSAP, enrollment, college fairs - you name it!) so parents and students can breathe easy.
Lifetime access = Always Ready.
The R4L program includes lifetime access to all the information so your teen can come back anytime to revisit the lessons, tips and exercises that keep them sharp, confident, and in control.
R4L isn’t just a course—it’s your child’s personalized launchpad to success.
Are you ready? Because we are. 🚀✨

Now, pause for a moment and ask yourself…
What is it really costing you to leave your child’s future to chance ?
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 admissions counselor for $15,000 - $25,000 — only to find gaps in their scope or lack of cohesive direction.
Be pulled in by someone else’s promise of guaranteed admission - and lose all that money when you realize no ethical company can, or should be guaranteeing admission for your child.
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.
Our R4L program is a proven, comprehensive 8-week experience that transforms how students approach their future. It blends expert group coaching, empowering tools, and peer community to help your teen find clarity, purpose, and direction. It’s robust. It’s effective. It’s changed lives across Ontario.

What Is Your Child's Future Worth to You?
Just Imagine that ...
✨ Your teen finally has clarity. No more stress-filled dinner conversations about “What are you going to do after high school?” They have a plan—and they’re actually excited about it.
🎯 They’re making confident decisions. Instead of feeling lost in a sea of post-secondary options, they know exactly what’s right for them—because they’ve done the self reflective work to uncover their authentic self, know their strengths, and confidently understand what next steps they want to take and why!
💡 School feels purposeful. They’re not just going through the motions anymore. They see how their courses connect to their future, and they’re stepping up their game.
💰 They’ve got financial confidence. Budgeting, scholarships, student grants/loans—it’s no longer overwhelming. They’re making smart financial moves before they even step onto campus.
📆 Deadlines? Handled. No more last-minute panic over applications, OSAP, or enrollment dates. Everything is mapped out, and they’re on top of every key milestone.
🗣️ They’re speaking up for themselves. Whether it’s emailing a professor, networking for opportunities, or advocating for their needs, they’re learning how to communicate with confidence.
🌍 Independence is no longer scary, it’s exciting! They know how to manage their time, balance responsibilities, and take ownership of their future.
🙌 You’re watching them thrive. Instead of stressing about whether they’ll "figure it out," you get to enjoy seeing them step into adulthood with clarity, excitement, and purpose.
What would all of this be worth to you?
Would you trade it for another year of confusion, procrastination, and last-minute scrambling?
Your investment in the Ready4Launch Program is a fraction of what uncertainty and missed opportunities could cost.
And yet, the value?
Absolutely priceless. 🚀
Questions? Ask Away!
Is this program only for students who already know what they want to do?
Not at all! Many of our students begin the program feeling unsure about their direction. In fact, discovering who they are, what they value, and what they’re good at is a key part of the R4L journey. This program meets your teen wherever they’re at—and helps them find clarity.
Do parents get any support in this program?
Absolutely! In our R4L program, we include Parent Power Hours - dedicated parent coaching times to help you understand your teen’s process, reduce stress, and support them without conflict. This is a journey for the entire family, so parents receive tools, communications, and milestone updates along the way.
Can this program help my teen even if they’re not planning to go to university?
Definitely. Whether your teen is considering college or the trades apprenticeships, or still isn’t sure at all, R4L helps them build a path that fits them. We focus on purpose, life design, and future-readiness—not just university prep.
What if our schedule doesn’t line up with your live sessions, will parents or teens miss out?
Not at all. All live sessions will be recorded, so you can watch them when it’s most convenient for you.

If Google Searches, School Counselors, and “Figuring It Out” Were Enough, Your Child Would Already Have a Clear Path Forward.
Let’s be real—there’s no shortage of advice, checklists, and career quizzes out there. And yet, so many teens (and their parents) still feel overwhelmed, lost, or stuck when it comes to planning for life after high school.
The truth is, success doesn’t happen in isolation.
No one builds a future on guesswork, stress, and last-minute decisions. The real secret to confidence, clarity, and long-term success is having guidance, structure, and the right support system.
That’s what R4L gives you.
You and your child won’t have to navigate this huge life transition alone. You’ll both be supported with expert-led strategies, real-world skills, and a clear action plan—so they can move forward with purpose and confidence.
Because the right knowledge is powerful. But the right guidance, accountability, and support?
That’s what makes all the difference.
We believe in you. We believe in your teen. And we’re here to help them launch into their best future. 🚀
