"My Big Kid Told Me to Get a Life”—Thoughts Moms Parenting Teens and Adult Kids Are Ashamed They Think | Ep. 276

What happens when the child you built so much of your life around suggests you need to go find one of your own?

In this episode, I explore why those words can stir up anger, embarrassment, grief, and even anxiety. I’ll help you understand why letting go can feel so disorienting after years of organizing your life around motherhood. You’ll learn how to get curious about what your big kid's reaction is bringing up in you, and how to explore what you want next without believing you need to prove your life has value.
