The Parenting Wisdom

In this short but heartfelt minisode, I share a personal moment of motherhood: the inner debate I had about sending my son to summer camp—where he’d be the youngest, away from home for many hours, and stretched outside his comfort zone. At the same time, I was craving time for myself—to work, rest, and feel fulfilled beyond motherhood.

This is such a common and tender struggle for so many of us:
 How much do we sacrifice our own needs for our children?
And how do we find the balance between protecting them and preparing them for life?

In this episode, I offer a gentle reframe: what if we saw these hard decisions not as potential trauma, but as growth opportunities—for them and for us?

You’ll hear:

Motherhood is a constant dance between holding on and letting go. My hope is that this minisode gives you a little more clarity—and a lot more grace—for wherever you are in that journey.
