The Prep Table is a conversation space created for parents who want to feel confident and informed as they support their child’s educational journey. Hosted by Bowdre Fortson Clayton, founder of Bowdre Educational Consulting, the podcast explores everything from early childhood development to college admissions—with expert insight and practical advice along the way.
Designed as an extension of our work with families, The Prep Table highlights trusted voices in parenting, education, and mental wellness. We speak with specialists, coaches, authors, and experts in their fields to cover real-life topics that matter—like fostering belonging, navigating autism and ADHD, preparing for college, handling big toddler emotions, building your parenting village, or helping a teen through a panic attack. We’ll even talk about breathwork and how to thrive during that first year on campus.
Our audience includes parents of students from preschool through college, and each episode is crafted to offer support, clarity, and connection—no matter where you are in the journey.
Whether you're preparing for kindergarten, planning for college, or anything in between—this is your place to pause, gather insight, and walk away with tools to help your child thrive.
