Send us Fan MailThis weekend, my son turned nine! 🎈❤️We celebrated with sixteen boys, endless laughter, an Xbox, and a house that may never fully recover. But later that night, when everything was quiet, he cried and told me how hard it is that his parents aren’t together… and how scared he is to grow up.In this solo episode, I talk about:What it feels like when your child names a grief you can’t take awayWhy trying to “fix” emotions can create a gap in your relationshipHow I’m teaching my children to feel without shameMy own grief as I watch my boys move from babyhood into boyhoodAnd why I no longer believe in the idea of a “broken family”Nearly half of families today don’t fit the traditional mold. What if that isn’t a flaw… but a strength?This is an episode about holding space, choosing softness, and learning how to love in seasons that are both joyful and tender.Connect with Host, Ella🎞️ Earth Tones Podcast Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/earthtones.podcast🎞️ Personal Instagram https://www.instagram.com/earthmamaella🎬 TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@earthtones.podcast🎥 YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@earthtones-podcast
