Be Where Your Feet Are—Parenting Teens, the Empty Nest, and Letting Go | Ep. 275

What if the pressure to make every visit, vacation, or conversation meaningful is the very thing keeping you from enjoying it? As my boys have grown, I’ve noticed how easily I can spend our time together reading their moods, searching for reassurance, or thinking ahead to what I need to say. But when I’m focused on getting something from the moment, I’m no longer fully in it. In this episode, I’m sharing what it means to “be where your feet are”... to stop overthinking, let go of your agenda, and experience the privilege of witnessing your child become who they are. You’ll learn how letting go can help you feel more connected and calm, and present, even when life with your big kid is messy and uncertain. Whether you’re parenting teens or navigating the empty nest, this episode will help you stop chasing the perfect moment and start living the one you have. 💡 Interested in learning more about how to create peace, confidence and connection as you raise and launch your teen?
