Parenting doesn’t come with a manual—and as your kids grow, the challenges and conversations shift in surprising ways. Today we sit down with Kim Mills to talk about navigating the evolving stages of motherhood, building confidence through community, and learning to let go of control as your children step into their independence. Kim opens up about parenting teens, the power of routines and structure, and the importance of modeling curiosity and kindness. She also shares how to find your “core mom group,” why asking for help isn’t a weakness but a strength, and how confidence grows when we stop people-pleasing and start showing up authentically.

Whether you’re raising littles, teens, or somewhere in between, this conversation will remind you that motherhood is messy, beautiful, and never meant to be done alone.

Today we cover:

• Kim’s perspective on parenting older kids and preparing for the next chapter
• Why structure and routines matter (even as kids grow)
• Letting go of control and supporting your children in finding their own goals
• How to find—and nurture—your trusted “mom crew”
• The confidence that comes from asking for help, pruning relationships, and showing up authentically
