Ep 41. High School Graduation: A Rite of Passage for Parents Too

What's in this episode

If you have a graduating senior, or you've had one in the past few years, or you're watching one of your younger kids and already feeling the anticipation of this moment coming, this episode is for you. No matter where you are on the parenting journey, there is something here for you today. In today's episode I'm coming to you from a very personal place. In two days, my own senior graduates, and I've been living right in the middle of everything I want to talk about with you today. I'm sharing honestly about what this transition has been like, what I've been feeling, and the tools and perspective that have been helping me move through it. My hope is that you walk away from this one feeling a little less alone and a little more grounded as you navigate this season. In this episode I cover: Why every emotion you're feeling right now is valid, including the messy, inconvenient, and unexpected ones How grief pulls us out of the present and what to do instead so you don't miss what's still right in front of you What letting go actually means and why trusting your child is one of the most loving things you can do Why this is a rite of passage for you as a parent, not just for your teen,
