ABOUT THIS EPISODE
There’s something about a new school year that feels like a fresh start. But for moms in the teen and empty nest years, September doesn’t always feel fresh. Sometimes we arrive already exhausted... bracing for the school year, the college transition, the empty house, the next hard conversation, or whatever we fear might be coming.
In this episode, I’m exploring what it means to stop spending so much emotional energy preparing for impact and start building your capacity to handle what life actually brings.
If you’re parenting teens, navigating an empty nest, working on letting go, or trying to stop overthinking what could go wrong, this episode will help you think differently about anxiety, uncertainty, and motherhood.
You’ll learn why capacity isn’t about becoming tougher. It’s about trusting yourself to stay grounded, feel what you feel, and meet the next moment without needing to know exactly how everything will turn out.
