Today I’m bringing back one of the most listened-to episodes on the podcast, and for good reason. It's called “When Your Child Wants to Live with the Other Parent” and if you’ve ever felt the sting of those words, or worried they might come, this one’s for you.

This episode struck a chord with so many of you because it goes deeper than just what your child says in the heat of the moment. It’s about what comes up inside you when it happens [the fear, the guilt, the heartbreak] and how to stay grounded even when it feels like your heart is breaking.

Whether you’ve heard it before or it’s your first time, I invite you to listen with fresh ears. There’s something here that might land differently today, especially if you’re in a tough season.

What if the gap between you and your preteen isn't a failure? What if it's a step toward a stronger bond?
Join me. This episode looks at the pain and doubt moms feel as their daughters pull away. By reframing this transition, we can see it as normal growth.
It's not a reflection of our worth as mothers. This heartfelt talk offers brain-based strategies. They will help navigate this tender phase of motherhood with grace and compassion.
By knowing our emotions, we can turn doubt and fear into curiosity and connection. Learn to maintain a meaningful relationship with your child. Use small, careful actions that respect her independence and your role in her life.
If you're feeling sidelined or unsure, let's explore these uncharted areas together. It will strengthen our mother-daughter bond.
