E9 - Navigating Parenthood with Growth and Grace

from Raising the Next Gen Podcast Hosted by Sonia Dong

In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I’m joined by teacher and author Natalie Boccia—mom of three kids spanning a decade, cancer survivor, and champion for healing through storytelling. We talk about what it’s like to parent across two generations under one roof while navigating perimenopause, personal growth, and the ever-changing needs of her family. Together, we explore the evolving nature of self-esteem and body confidence, relinquishing control while the kids gain more independence and why we all need a quiet time. Natalie opens up about her cancer journey and how it shapes her parenting. If you're juggling parenting, personal growth, and everything in between, this episode is a must-listen. --- Natalie is the author of two books: 📖 To Breathe Again 🦋 The Three Caterpillar Sisters Follow Natalie on Instagram: @natalieinwords --- Did you like this episode?
