Jaime Townzen never imagined her path would lead from the watercolor canvas to the pages of her debut novel. Yet, amidst the chaos of motherhood and unexpected caregiving roles, she discovered profound insights and resilience.

 Jaime discusses her journey from stay-at-home mom to caregiver for her elderly parents. Her creativity became a lifeline, helping her maintain a sense of self while raising teenagers and caring for aging parents.

Jaime talks about what inspired her to write her debut novel, Absorbed. Her story, set against the backdrop of the '90s, draws from personal experiences as a lifeguard and mother, weaving humor and pop culture into the challenges of adolescence. It's a narrative that encourages understanding and dialogue, inviting listeners to reflect on the power of creativity at any stage of life.

Parenting teenagers is no small feat, especially when dealing with ADHD and the pressures of academics. The conversation with Jamie highlights the importance of unconditional love, empathy, and open communication. By fostering environments where teens feel safe to express themselves and pursue their dreams, parents can better navigate the complexities of adolescence. 

As Jaime prepares her daughter for college, she shares the bittersweet mix of emotions that come with watching your child embark on their own journey.
