Episode 16: A Kitchen Table Conversation – Tween-leave. With Guest, Tara Lietzow, Alchemy Advising

In this episode of The Powermomma Podcast, Sam sits down with Tara Lietzow for an honest conversation about motherhood in the tween years and why this stage of parenting needs a lot more support. They talk about the emotional load of raising daughters, the shift from managing kids to coaching growing humans, and the idea of "tween leave" as a real and necessary form of support for parents. The conversation also explores leaving full-time corporate life, rebuilding work around family needs, navigating late ADHD diagnosis, and learning to let go of perfectionism. Sam and Tara also bond over books, creativity, and the pressure to constantly produce, ending with a powerful reminder that not every season is meant for pushing. Sometimes winter is supposed to be winter. A thoughtful, funny, and deeply relatable episode for moms navigating the messy middle years of parenting, work, and identity.     Links + Resources Alchemy Advising: https://www.alchemyadvising.co/ The Kitchen Table Revolution: https://www.storytimela.com/kitchen-table   Follow / Connect with Tara:
