Middle school is a season of deep change, not just for your daughter, but for you, as her mom. In the final episode of this 4-part series, Dr. Kimberly Palmiotto shifts the spotlight back to the heart of it all: Us as Moms. While your daughter is growing into herself, you may find yourself triggered, exhausted, or wondering where you went in the process.

In this episode, we explore:

* Why middle school can reactivate your own adolescent wounds

* The emotional labor of mothering a tween girl (and why you feel so tired)

* How to avoid self-abandonment while still showing up for her

* The difference between modeling self-sacrifice and modeling self-respect

* Three practical tools for grounding, boundary-setting, and emotional self-check-ins

You'll also be invited into a powerful reflection practice to connect with your future self, the one who’s on the other side of this chapter and grateful for how you stayed grounded in your own growth, too.

Because you’re not the same mom you were when she was little, and that’s a good thing! You're growing, too. And she needs to see that.
