As a Mum of twin teenage boys, Jo shares her experiences and insights of beginning to let go – and at the same time discovering the joys of being able to take back our time as our offspring explore their growing independence. From heartwarming tales of first parent-free school trips, to practical tips and advice for nurturing their independence, Jo shares with Kate her three lessons learned during these transformative years with her double trouble. And, as Mum to a now 23-year-old, Kate reminisces with Jo about the importance of embracing rather than resisting change and exploring empowering choices at this evolving time in both our kids’ and our lives.Connect with Jo athttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jobrianti/https://www.instagram.com/jobrianti/Support the showI'd love to hear from you - because Midlife Unlimited® is all about YOU!  https://buymeacoffee.com/kateporterSupport the show  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2417699/support https://www.facebook.com/groups/4035518246684901 https://midlifeunlimitedpodcast.buzzsprout.com for details of my award-winning 1-2-1 and MORE! group coaching program for Midlife women Connect with me  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kateporterofficial/https://www.facebook.com/skateporterhttps://www.instagram.com/kate_porter_official/https://www.youtube.com/@MidlifeUnlimitedHere's to to living Midlife Unlimited®b19c0276942dde98656f2638f9c7148efbf54ad9
