When kids leave home it’s one of the biggest transitional moments of parenting. Feelings range from grief to excitement to loneliness to adventure, for many a mashup of all of these, and that’s just in the first week! This episode covers how we can prepare ourselves (and our kids) for this new era, by setting boundaries, expressing expectations, finding our people, and tons of communication with everyone involved. Sprinkled throughout are some major lessons learned by Cara and Vanessa–oof!–and advice for those soon to embark on this phase.Show Notes:Watch the full episode on Youtube!Join the LESS AWKWARD MEMBERSHIP HUBRula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.
