Midlife Identity: Who You Are Outside Every Role You Play (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many women in midlife carry a subtle but chronic feeling of dissatisfaction, unfulfillment, or exhaustion that doesn't lift, even when the roles they play are going well. Mother, partner, worker, daughter: each one matters, and each one is largely lived in service of someone else. Here's the truth: part of what you're feeling may not be a need for more effort or a better schedule. It may be a disconnection from your identity outside of those roles, an essential part of you that isn't defined by

In this episode, I walk through why midlife motherhood is actually an opening to redefine what you want your relatio
The Emotion Nobody Names at Back to School (and Every Other Kiddo Transition) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every mom I talk to this week has a different feeling about back to school, and it can even shift day to day for the same woman. Underneath the relief and the nostalgia is something most of us have never actually named, and once you do, the guilt around the mixed feelings in transitions with our kids starts to loosen. In this episode I walk through what's really going on underneath both feelings, why neither one is wrong, and how to find your own focus for the season ahead instead of getting stu
