“Being human isn’t for the faint of heart.”
I have to admit - this season of motherhood has really been a challenge for me. I feel like I’ve lost control of the emotional landscape of my home, and conversations with one of my older kids has left me consistently humbled. Today I’ll share how I’m navigating all of this, plus I’ll dive into some of the questions you submitted on Instagram about friendships, intuition and long-term sobriety.
Today on WithIn:
The emotional journey of motherhood
Navigating your own emotions when friendships change, fade or are hard to find
What is your intuition? And how do you tap into it?
My experience with long-term sobriety as I reach 4 ½ sober years

JP and I find ourselves in what feels like the hardest season of parenting we’ve had. Between our eldest getting ready for college, and our three other children becoming more and more busy as they get older, it feels like we’re in a period of crescendo as a family… a crescendo that might not quiet down for a couple of years.
I posted a reel last week about how I parent teens as a sober mom, and it led to a lot of important questions popping up in my DMs: Do my kids drink? What are my rules around drinking? Do I talk to my kids about alcohol?
There are so many things in midlife that feel ungrounding. Our bodies are changing in wildly uncomfortable ways. Our children are getting older (and maybe leaving the nest). We’re facing the reality of aging parents. And then there’s something that I hear so many women speak about: a persistent midlife itch that there is something more for us. A next chapter. A new calling. Yet, what exactly that ‘new thing’ is rarely feels clear. So today, we’re going to talk about it:
Jaemi Pierson is one of the most inspiring people I follow on Instagram, so I had to bring her wisdom straight to you on WithIn!
Last week I found myself in my closet, overcome by a heavy bout of The Sunday Scaries - It wasn’t anxiety about the approaching Monday, but anxiety about the entire fall season. After a beautiful summer focused on my family, the realities of the fall felt like too much to face.
