ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Back-to-school season can bring out some BIG emotions, and not just for our kids. Between the meltdowns, changing routines, and the bittersweet reality of watching our kids grow up, it can be easy to wonder what’s gone wrong. In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shift that changed everything for me: nothing has gone wrong. What if instead of trying to fix all the messy emotions, we simply gave ourselves and our kids permission to feel them?
In this episode, we unpack:- Why back-to-school transitions can trigger BIG emotions for kids and parents
- The pattern I finally noticed after three years of back-to-school meltdowns
- Why your child’s emotions are not a reflection of you as a mom
- How accepting emotions instead of trying to fix them changes how you show up
- Why curiosity and experimentation can make parenting through transitions feel lighter
