What if letting go in motherhood was never meant to feel easy — but it was always meant to grow you?

As moms, whether we’re parenting teens or entering the empty nest, we’re asked to let go again and again. And it doesn’t just stir up sadness. It can trigger anxiety, overwhelm, and the constant urge to overthink. We wonder if we’re doing it right, if our kids will be okay, and what it means for us when they don’t need us in the same way anymore.

In this episode, I share my own journey of navigating the empty nest and the flood of emotions that come with it. You’ll learn how to stop resisting reality, reduce anxiety, and see your emotions not as proof something is wrong, but as signals that can guide you toward peace. Together, we’ll explore how mindset shifts can help you stop overthinking, set boundaries that honor both you and your kids, and begin finding purpose in this next chapter of motherhood.

By the end, you’ll see that even when life feels heavy, you’re not broken — you’re simply being invited to grow. And you always have the power to choose how you want to show up, not just for your kids, but for yourself.
