She's Leaving! How I’m Handling It

from The Art of Plenty · host The Art of Plenty

This week, I’m talking about something that’s been really present in my life lately—getting ready for my oldest daughter to leave for an exchange program. It’s exciting, of course, but also a little gut-wrenching. I’ve always been focused on giving my kids freedom to make decisions, even from a young age, and now I’m watching her take this big step towards independence. But let me tell you, it doesn’t make it any easier as her mom. In this episode, I get real about the emotional rollercoaster I’m on and what it’s been like preparing both myself and our family for her to leave. Whether you’ve got little ones or teens, I think you’ll relate to the bittersweetness of these transitions. Let’s talk about how we can hold on while letting go. ‍Explore more with these resources: Get on the list: Course launches, bootcamps, webinars, live events, new episodes and free surprises!
