Packing for Success
A little support for girls transitioning from college life to real life: entering the workforce, budgeting, finding a voice, finding an apartment, balancing social activities with adult responsibilities and – of course – having fun while doing it…
Your Plan for Life’s Transition— Big or Small
A Practical Guide for Navigating Life’s Big (and Small) Transitions
Life doesn’t come with a manual.
But every girl deserves tools that help her feel steady, confident, and connected — no matter what life throws her way.
- New school.
- New friendships.
- Moving away from home.
- Loss, grief, or heartbreak.
- Figuring out who you are — and where you belong.
Packing for Success isn’t just a book.
It’s a roadmap for navigating life’s inevitable changes with clarity, courage, and confidence.
What She'll Learn
Rooted in Pam Willsey’s signature EQ Wardrobe™ framework, Packing for Success helps girls and young women:
- Understand and regulate their emotions
- Navigate friendships, conflict, and communication
- Set boundaries and advocate for themselves
- Stay grounded in their values and identity — even when life feels messy
- Build emotional resilience that lasts far beyond the current challenge
Every chapter blends real stories, practical tools, and powerful journal prompts — helping her process her feelings and strengthen who she’s becoming.
Why It Matters
Transitions aren’t just about what’s happening on the outside.
They stir up everything happening on the inside, too.
Packing for Success helps her name what’s hard, trust herself through uncertainty, and move forward feeling more like… herself.
It’s perfect for:
- Girls navigating friendship shifts, family changes, or grief
- Teens heading into middle school, high school, or college
- Young women stepping into first jobs, first apartments, or new chapters
- Anyone facing a season of growth, loss, or change
