283. When Your Kids Need Different Things From You
Nov 12, 2026One of your kids needs to go home. The other has been waiting all afternoon for cake. You understand both of them, and you’re still the one who has to decide what happens next.
In Episode 283, When Your Kids Need Different Things From You, I share what it’s been like to raise Jordan and Maddie, from wishing Maddie were older so she’d understand why plans had to change to learning when to step in and when to give each of them more room. I also share how Maddie’s decision to take responsibility for Jordan after Dave and I are gone brought me a kind of peace I never expected.
Whether your kids are little and you’re still figuring out what they’re trying to tell you, or they’re grown and you’re finding your place in their adult lives, this episode is for you, mama.
