About this episode
In this repeat episode we're talking about the emotional rollercoaster of raising adult children: watching them leave home, letting go of the need to fix everything, and realizing that your role as a parent is constantly evolving. We get honest about the grief that comes with watching your kids become independent, the unexpected moments that catch you off guard, and why "it gets easier" isn't always true—it just gets different.
From university worries and big life decisions to the bittersweet realization that you can't protect them from every heartbreak, we're sharing what this season of parenting really looks like. It's messy, funny, emotional, and filled with the kind of conversations that make you realize you're not the only one figuring it out as you go.
If you're raising teenagers, navigating young adults, or wondering how you're supposed to let go without completely falling apart, this episode is for you.
