This is Your Teen’s Next Chapter- And Yours Too

Parents, this season isn’t just about your teenager.
It’s about you, too.

As your child grows, it’s easy to shift into full support mode — all eyes on their milestones, their moods, their schedule.
But in the quiet moments — after the door closes, or the college apps are submitted — you might start to wonder…

What have I put on pause?
And… who am I becoming now?

The Truth? You’re Still Growing, Too.

We don’t talk about it enough, but here’s what I hear from parents all the time:

✨ “I miss the little years, and I didn’t realize how much.”
✨ “I’m proud of who they are… and kind of lost about who I am now.”
✨ “I don’t know who I am outside of being Mom/Dad.”

You are not alone.
That mix of pride, grief, disorientation, and hope? It’s all valid.
You’ve grown alongside your child. And now — as they stretch into independence — you’re invited to do the same.

Reclaiming What You’ve Set Aside

This isn’t just about letting go.
It’s about returning to parts of yourself that you’ve postponed, buried, or simply forgotten.

🎨 A creative spark
🏃‍♀️ A wellness goal
📚 A passion or career
🤝 A friendship that used to light you up
💭 Or maybe just… the freedom to ask, “What do I want next?”

You matter — not just as a parent, but as a full person in your own right.

💬 Let's Talk About It — Together

This Friday from 10–11 AM, I’m hosting a free live session to explore these emotions and offer space for reflection.

➡️ If you’ve been feeling the pull to reconnect with you, I’d love for you to join.
💌 Got questions? DM me and I’ll answer them during the live.

You don’t need to figure it all out alone.
Let’s make space for your next chapter, too.

With care,
