The Almost Empty Nest—Letting Go, Redefined: Parenting Teens and Finding Yourself Again—with Small Jar CoachFrom Hormones to Heartache: Understanding Your Emotions in Motherhood and Midlife | Ep. 116It's an emotional rollercoaster, this business of raising and launching teens. There are so many beautiful highs, but the lows are rough. We've been supporting our kids, helping them be safe, happy and successful, for so long, it's instinctual at this point.

So often we think of our emotions as being caused by people or situations in our life, but in this episode I explore how this isn't true. And why this is really good news! Look, in life, there will no doubt be...

What I really wanted was to feel alive, connected, at peace in my own skin. In this episode, I’m sharing why chasing activities doesn’t work unless you ask one key question first: How do you actually want to feel in your life? If you’ve been busy fixing everything on the outside but still fe...
