Watching them grow: Bittersweet moments of parenthood

Send us a text

“I lay there, staring at my son on the night of his seventh birthday, taking in all the features of his face - all the ways he is the same and the ways he has changed. Motherhood is always wanting the next phase to come, not really understanding what you're leaving behind.”

This episode talks about the bittersweet journey of parenthood. From the joys of watching our children grow and discover their passions, to the challenges of constantly changing stress cycles, we explore the dichotomies that come with being a parent. Kayla shares her personal experiences and reflections, reminding parents to be present and honour the ways you have grown and transformed alongside your children. 

Tune in for a dose of wisdom, inspiration, and a reminder that the little moments matter.
