Thank you so much for being here!!! This week's episode is a reminder that endings and beginnings often exist side by side.

After losing the state championship lacrosse game in golden goal overtime, my son's high school sports career came to an end - as well as my role as a sports mom, and my family's identification as a sports family. With graduation this week too, we find ourselves in a strange emotional limbo, and it would be easy to think this is a story about sports.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize it's so much more than the end of sports. It's about transitions and grief and identity. The end of sports, the end of high school, graduation, and the uncertain summer before college have all collided at once, leaving our entire family feeling a little lost.

In this episode, I explore why these endings feel so much bigger than a game. We talk about identity, grief, and the difficult space between chapters of life. For years, our kids have known exactly who they are: athletes, teammates, captains, performers. Then suddenly the season ends, the uniform comes off, and they are left asking a much bigger question: Who am I now?

We'll discuss why our teens may seem directionless before they seem excited, why they're losing far more than a sport, why grief often shows up months later, and how we can support them without rushing them into the next version of themselves. We'll also talk about the transition parents experience as our own identities, routines, and family rhythms begin to shift.

If your family is navigating graduation, the end of sports, or any major life transition, this conversation is a reminder that endings and beginnings often exist side by side.

Thank you so much for being here! In the U.S. (and especially living at the beach!), Memorial Day is the "official" launch of summer! And never is our unappreciation of our bodies as great as it is during the summer. Can we say that we love our body... and mean it? What if instead of crititicizing all of our flaws based off of narratives that have been planted in our heads we appreciated and loved our bodies for all that they do?

Thank you so much for being here! In honor of my oldest's graduation from the teen years, here are the top 20 things that I learned about parenting teenagers. Not as someone who has all the answers - because clearly I do not - but just as someone who has not only survived the teen years for one child, but actually loved them!! My favorite parenting stage, so far! It's crazy how somehow the years that felt endless while you were in them suddenly feel impossibly short.
