Why We Should Stop Parenting Our Adult Children

We Need to be Held Sometimes
Dear Midlife Mamas, Perhaps the nest is empty and I know it feels like it's over, but truly it's not. When it feels hard why do we insist on doing it alone? We hold so much as Mamas. We are the sacred keepers of hearts. We are the dream launchers. We are the habit trainers. [...]
