Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins, Bréne Brown,
About this episode
"Parenting is a gradual process of letting go. As our children leave the nest, they take a piece of our hearts with them, and in return, they leave a piece of theirs." - L.R. Knost
 
In this episode, I talk about:
  • The challenges and rewards of navigating new life chapters and their impact on parenting
  • Shifting parental focus towards self-care and recognizing coping strategies
  • The emotional complexity of different facets of love and the unique bonds with each child
