About this listen

Saralynn sits down with her cousin Jessica, a mom of three from Nevada, to talk about what it’s like parenting through shifting seasons of motherhood. From raising twins who are now entering adulthood and their younger sibling embarking on middle school to watching one child prepare for the Marines and another chase her dreams in cosmetology, Jessica shares an honest glimpse into what happens when your babies start finding their own way in the world.

Together, Saralynn and Jessica explore the bittersweet “positive just waits” of parenting, those moments when you see your kids becoming themselves, and the lessons that come with letting go. The conversation also opens up about the realities of midlife transitions, perimenopause, and the power of self-advocacy in healthcare.

It’s a funny, emotional, and deeply relatable talk about the phases of motherhood, finding balance with your partner, and remembering to care for yourself while caring for everyone else.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about anxiety, depression, divorce, and perimenopausal experiences that may be sensitive for some listeners.
